What is the wrongest book you own?

Aha, have located Gideon new testicle. These were given away to teens. A kind of King James.

I never understood why the gideons didn't give out bibles with both testaments in them to most christians they're kinda important.

They do. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gideons

Yes. I take great pleasure in marking them up to highlight:

1. The cruel, capricious, tormenting, infanticidal, and genocidal nature of the biblical deity, and
2. The numerous contradictions within the bible.

These are easy to make:

I used to have a very similar one that I would to stick in Gideon babbles. Ran out of copies - must print some more.

When you're bored in the hotel, and can't bear to wank again, just grab a highlighter and the Bible, and highlight all the naughty bits. I recommend the Song of Solomon. http://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?se ... ersion=NIV

...you might freak someone out if you highlight some dirty bits -- dog ear some of the pages -- and strategically spill some liquid to stain the pages and make them stick together a bit....

I have hours in hotel rooms. I am happy enough with inserting tabs such as:

God orders rape
God orders murder
God orders genocide

etc. etc.

You do realise your doing similar things that the westboro baptists to justify their bigotry only difference is that your trying to prove that god is big bad and evil which i find deeply ironic for someone who claims to be an atheist and think the bible is a load of shite as you've told me in not so many words on my FB pages cormac.

What good is a god that can't take a joke. Wait, there is no humor in the bible!

It might be my aspergers kicking in tero but i didn't sound like a joke.

Sorry, I always tend to go in the opposite direction when I hear Bible these days. I would still debate Bible a couple of years ago.

Yup i should remember that its pointless debating such things you either get it or your don't.

The only thing that the Westboro Baptists get right is the actual character of the so-called Abrahamic God, based on an uncherrypicked reading of the Bible.

As far as I am concerned, the Bible is an interesting historical artefact, and a valuable work of literature. It is not the revealed "wisdom" of any god, and it is most certainly not a guide to moral living.

My purpose in marking up bibles this way is to ironically demonstrate this to a potential reader.

If the Gideons can freely place Bibles in hotel rooms, I am free to show people what the bible actually is - a socially dangerous, internally inconsistent, hate-filled, homicide justifying collection of stories from a prehistoric and violent people.

It does contain some moments of beauty, and does have points which highlight the best of humanity, but in these it is neither original nor sufficient.

I like to play a small part in removing the emperor's new clothes as far as the bible is concerned.

I see no comparison between what I do and what the Westboro Baptists do. I show the absurdity of the bible, they take it seriously. I say that noone should look to the bible and its slavering hate-filled god, and they insist that you bow down before it.

Chalk and Cheese old man.

I got a bible, of course
and some 'hidden history' books like 'Holy Blood, Holy Grail' that lie through their pages and try to pass bad fiction for historical fact.
