I wonder how many takers they will get?
Maybe it will depend on the quality of the porn.

They must not know there is no need to waste your extra bibles to get a good porn collection, you can get free streaming porn now.

I'm at work so there's no way I'm clicking that. But, do they want to take the porn and give the bibles, or take the bibles and give the porn?

Also, I know just about every house in America has at least a few Bibles in it, I wonder about the porn vs. Bibles per capita. Either way, I wouldn't be surprised and the results would be epic.

None of that newfangled internet stuff either, has to be actual magazines, tapes, or DVDs. Letting in the internetz would clearly make porn obliterate anything in the porn vs. * per capita fight.

the smut for smut program has been going on for awhile. There is also a fiction for fiction program. Bible for great novels.

I read another brief article about this that (at the school they were featuring) they only collected 10 Bibles.

I think this is a foolish stunt. If atheists want to get a dialogue going and engage people it won't be with stunts like this. I see this kind of thing offending a lot of people even if they aren't religious. (for instance - if they're anti-porn)

I agree 100% with Kurto for the first time.

Agreed. This is an atheist student group in Texas, and although I've never been to Texas I'm guessing atheists would be especially unpopular there. One way to deal with that would be to play the role of the "heel" and deliberately antagonize people, as in professional wrestling. So that's my impression of what these students are doing. As an aside, a really arrogant, outspoken atheist would make a very good heel in WWE. The redneck fans would love to hate that guy. Especially if he was French.

Not so much... I got one degree from UT Austin and there's a LOT of free thinkers and atheist there. The town motto is "Keep it weird" ... not that atheist are weird...but the entire University is very open to free thinking.
UTSA is pretty close to UT in that area.

Texas isn't as "redneck" as you would think.... not even close. Apparently you need to go to Alabama or Tennessee for a true level of "red neck".

This was obviously a few anarchist that really had no agenda and very little forethought.

To be clear, I'm not calling people who live in Texas rednecks. That comment was directed at pro wrestling fans (a lot of them anyway). An atheist wrestler throwing copies of The God Delusion at angry fans or carrying a flag with the Darwin fish as he enters the ring would be outstanding.

Ahhh...gotcha.

That is an outstanding idea. I wish I knew someone in promotions who had a tie to wrestlers.. Howard? Can you help out here?

"The Atheist" battles "Father John" in the rumble in Alabama!

That's huge.

The Atheist wins the match...or loses...either way he gets the Fathers staff with the cross on it and smashes it to bits... spits on it.

I think you...and by you I mean me... may have something here.

I think you're complicating the situation too much. Its like this. Rizeagainst isn't the only one of his kind in existence. Although God randomly disperesed his kind, thru pure happenstance a cluster of him accumulated on that campus.
