Yeah, that'll show em!
An atheist group at the University of San Antonio is offering porn in exchange for bibles.
Quoth a student member of the 'Atheist Agenda': "We consider the bible to be a very negative force in the history of the world".
But magazines that sexually objectify women by showing them getting ejaculated on A-OK!
I love the logic!
Yes, people have murdered, raped, pillaged, and produced Christian Rock, all fueled by their personal interpretations of the bible.
People have also sacrificed their lives to save others, given money to help the poor, ditched drugs, and built cathedrals because of what they got out of the bible.
I love it when a simpleton with a big mouth starts spouting off in public. It's easy fodder for a guy like me who LOVES to skewer assholes that revel in their own inconsistency.
I would LOVE to see them try this shit with the Torah, or the Koran, or the Bhagavad Gita.
They would never DARE do this to the Jews, Muslims, Hindus or Buddhists.
Try as I might I cannot think of a word in common usage that means 'defaming Christians'. Maybe we need one.

We do have a phrase for that: protected speech.
*sigh* This kind of thing irritates me greatly, but I think it's only the foretaste of things to come. Do you listen to Clark Carlton's "Faith and Philosophy" podcast from Ancient Faith Radio? He addressed this issue in last week's talk.
It does seem ironic that in an age of supposed universal relativity and universal tolerance, it is a-ok to be intolerant of Christians. As a matter of fact, it seems that you can't tolerate Christianity's existence and still be a modern, tolerant, relativist.
It would be great if pointing out their incoherence and inconsistent logic actually did any good--but, for most postmoderns, strict logic is just another way that "the human experience" has been traditionally suppressed. I'm just waiting on the day when "hate crime" laws are extended to mean that any group which denies homosexual unions will be subject to prosecution; I fully expect, before too long, that our Church, and other "conservative Christians," will be presented with the legal ultimatum to marry gays and lesbians or suffer the legal wrath of having committed a hate crime against someone's civil liberties. I'm actually surprised we haven't already suffered some legal backlash from our very vocal Pro-Life position; the only thing that has protected us so far has been the obscurity of Orthodoxy. As the Church in America grows, though, the more we will show up on the social radar, and the more of this sort of thing we can expect.
