A group of atheists at UTSA was asking students to exchange bibles for porn magazines Wednesday, and that has made some religious leaders angry. News 4 WOAI first broke the story at 6 p.m. Wednesday.

At a Wednesday night church service, The Bible is the bond between believers, but on the UTSA campus a group of students were calling scripture, smut.

“We consider The Bible to be a very negative force in the history of the world,” student Ryan Walker said. He is part of a student group calling itself the "Atheist Agenda."

Club members were on campus asking students to exchange religious materials for pornographic magazines like Black Label and Playboy.

downhill wrote:Of course it's in poor taste. Let me ask you. Do you suppose that the original poster spent any time actually reading the whole thing, or did the quote fit the bill just right to start another religious war here?

Be honest.

It takes more than one to continue the battle, so if in fact the original poster did not have sincere intentions aren't those that continue to fuel the flame just as guilty?

Augustus wrote:you could have closed the thread if you thought it was that bad?


why do you think I posted IBTL

downhill wrote:No closing unless it stars turning into a flame fest.

I don't necessarily think it's that bad as I've seen tons worse. I was getting at something else. The rash of threads that seem to get turned in religious debate. Why is that? Augustus....are you a part of that? Honestly now.

Augustus wrote:When did I start a religious thread? take a look DH..

why ever thread i post or start has to turn in a religious debate...You haven't, but you do tend to feed the fire when it does happen. That's what I'm getting at. Reread my post. for example the howard stern thread...had absoloutley nothing to do with religion

I only react to what people are posting..i am personally sick of people telling me what is evil and should not be doing when i dont give a crap since i am not christian..until that stops..I refuse to back down.Point taken but hey...no need to get so defensive about it every single time. I think most here know how you feel. ]

downhill wrote:Brent and I have been having a PM session and he assures me that this thread wasn't put up to start another religious war.

I owe him an apology for accusing him of that.

Apologies extended, Brent.


Carry on, but folks.....Keep it civil.

Augustus wrote:I like to add I think we should just ban religious topics from now on SG...it serves no point..and all it does is create problems.

thepieman wrote:Thats ridiculous GH...then Political threads would be banned too..then what?

Augustus wrote:people dont take politics as personal as religion IMO...

anyway enough of the debate


I would like to just add:

The two biggest bible thumpers on SG are also admitted porn junkies. So no bibles need to be traded in. It's free already.

Augustus wrote:Well I can say Bush and all republicans are the biggest liars and corrupt politicians ever in the past 50 years..and people would get a bit pisst...but nothing new..now if i said the same thing about Jesus and Christianity I probably cause a huge uproar and end up banned.

How much did Brent give you for your bible?

thepieman wrote:There are some people you can debate with and there are some people you can't. There are people who will make a political post here , but if you make one and have an opinion call you a political analyst. Don't pay any attention to it dude. Ignore the ignorant.
