Yesterday, I walked out my front door and there was a flyer hanging on my door from some organization called <a href="http://www.biblesforamerica.org" target="_blank">Bibles for America</a>. Apparantly, if you send in their postage paid postcard, they will send you a free copy of the "Recovery Version" of the New Testament. This NT version apparantly has modern day commentary, footnotes, explanations, interpretations, etc. integrated into it. I checked out their website. They say they are not affliated with any particular Xian church. Whaddya think, should I get my free copy or am I gonna get innundated with Godspam, phone calls, etc. Anyone know anything about these clowns?

Get a copy. Add it to the pile of kindling you keep by the fireplace. Why waste recyclable newspaper? That cheesy thin bible paper burns like there's no tomorrow. heheh.

The looks you get from theists who see half the pages torn out as it sits by the fireplace is classic.

Can't do it.

While I personally have no particular love for the Bible... I just have a moral objection to burning books.

I peed on their bus!

I drove up to Boston a couple months ago to see a show and by the time I got there I REALLY had to take a leak.
So after parking my car I began looking for a place I could sneak off the sidewalk and relieve myself. (the club was several blocks away from where I had to park).

So I went between a big RV/Tour bus kinda thing and the side of a building. As I`m going I look up at the bus to in HUGE letters "Bibles for America". Now I`m not in the habit of peeing on stuff,but I re-adjusted my aim and gave the side of that bus a good soaking.

Maybe it was wrong,but after I was done I was relieved in more ways than one.

I'd say send in for your copy. I don't know if you have a Buybull or not, but if you don't it sure beats spending the few dollars for one. Besides, it confuses the door-to-door Jesus salesman to find out that you're an Atheist when you have an open Bible on your desk. They aren't prepared for that!

I think maybe I will get one. There's a box you can check on the order card which says, "I am interested in being contacted and receiving guidance in using the Recovery Version to better understand the Bible." I should check that box, and then when they call or come by I can ask all about the contradictions, nonsense, violence, etc. in the bible. They would be appalled to learn, I think, that atheists are ordering their book and wasting their money.

If the copy I order smells like pee, I'll know why.

That's cool. Just be careful checking that box if you don't want evangelists to come over and godspam to be sent to your address. It may be enjoyable for awhile, but if they think they are making any progress at all they will persist in coming over. I'm not saying that you shouldn't do this. I would be the first to check the box since I've been wanting fundies to visit me since I got here. However, your results may vary, so it all depends on what you want.
