I got a laugh from this, not\u00a0necessarily due to the stunt itself, but in the reaction from\u00a0certain\u00a0“good Christian” quarters. Don’t they understand that the Bible is full of porn itself? It’s\u00a0certainly\u00a0easy to understand. Back in the “good old days” of the Bible, people didn’t really do much else except try to\u00a0scrounge\u00a0out a living, procreate and kill each other. Kind of like today (without the Internet.)<\/p>\n

\u201cThe Atheist Agenda does this solely for this purpose: To get under the skin of Christians and to provoke an angry response so they can point at screaming Christians and say to their peers: \u2018See they are angry, self-righteous, judgmental people.\u2019\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
\nIn a stunt designed to infuriate Christians, a student atheist group at the University of Texas at San Antionio is offering to give free pornography to any student who wants to turn in their Bible.<\/p>\n
The organization, called the \u201cAtheist Agenda,\u201d calls its campaign \u201cSmut for Smut,\u201d according to reporter Marcia Segelstein.<\/p>\n
Members sit at a table in the lobby of the school\u2019s humanities building with a sign that reads, \u201cTrade in Holy Texts 4 Porn,\u201d ready to hand over a pornographic magazine in return for a Bible.<\/p>\n
This isn\u2019t the first time they\u2019ve done this.<\/p>\n
\u201cThey first did this back in December 2005,\u201d reports Segelstein. \u201cAt that time, a group member explained to the school newspaper, the\u00a0Independent,<\/em> the reasons behind the controversial, in-your-face initiative:<\/p>\n
\u201cThe idea is that religious texts are so appalling. They are so full of genocide, misogyny and ludicrous ideas that far overshadow any banal common-sense platitudes like loving thy neighbor, that you are better off having porn, which isn\u2019t nearly as smutty.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
