Trade Your Bibles in for Porn?
Lovely…just a wonderful way to encourage dialogue:
A campus atheist group began its attention-seeking holy book-for-porn program on Monday at the University of Texas at San Antonio.
For three days, members of Atheist Agenda will give students pornographic magazines in exchange for any religious texts as part of their annual “Smut for Smut” campaign. Leaders of the atheist group argue that religious books contain violence, spark religious wars, advocate for the mistreatment of women and are therefore no better than pornography.
“It’s a First Amendment right,” said Bradley Lewis, 18, who plans to join the Atheist Agenda, according to the San Antonio Express-News. “If religious groups can put out missionaries and go knock on my door and wake me up at 7 a.m. on a Saturday morning, I can put a table outside of the college.”
As expected, the group’s action has offended religious students. A group of Christians gathered to protest the event and in the afternoon a Christian student debated the Atheist Agenda president, Carlos Morales.

I think the best thing to do would be to ignore people like this, just tell them you’re gonna say a prayer for them….

My suspicion is that any Bibles being turned in for this event weren’t being used anyway, so I don’t think it’ll really be much of a loss at all.
