1. What a great idea! Instead of sending money, spend it on bibles
and send those! That'll help lost more than money or drinking water or food or medical supplies!!

I think they'd rather have food, water and clothing at this point.

15. Is that part of a high fiber diet?
Haven't seen bibles on the food pyramid but maybe that's new since I checked it last.

18. Methinks they need to keep them for themselves instead of handing them out
If they would read them instead of donate them they might figure out they are on the wrong side.

19. Feeling guilty? Send bibles!!!
Edited on Thu Sep-01-05 08:12 PM by neuvocat
Why part with your hard-earned money you have to put in your SUV when you can just give the gospel?

:sarcasm:

You just have to wonder how they figure people will be receptive to reading the bible after they've had to deal with feces piling up in the Super Dome.

20. No.
Freepers need to keep their Bibles, open them up, and actually read them.

You don't give Bibles to people dying of dehydration. YOU GIVE THEM FUCKING WATER!!!!

28. If you close your eyes and concentrate real hard...
...it'll taste like steak when you try to eat it.

I can't wait to hear from freepers who were actually affected by the chaos down around the gulf.
