Bibles, not bullets!

[cowcommander]

Well, at least it's different.

[get the red out]

1. I vote neither one

:evilgrin:

[StarfarerBill]

2. Ditto.

[Walk away]

7. + 1

[YOY]

3. Wow...now that's some mentally deficient "truth".

4. Perhaps the comic book authors should be asked how

well this worked out for Cassie Bernall or Rachael Scott.

[Euromutt]

19. Valeen Schnurr, actually, but the point remains the same (n/t)

[Deep13]

5. I suppose a 1400 page book will provide SOME protection from bullets.

:eyes:

6. Tim Todd Doesn't Get It

Even if there was the use of Bibles in school it would make no difference in school violence. School violence is a lot more deeper than just putting Jesus Christ back in schools.

8. A well-aimed Bible is just as deadly as a gun.

[X_Digger]

9. No school killings before 'bibles kicked out of school'?

Umm..Newburgh NY- 1891. Bath, MI- '27. UT Austin- '66. Olean High- '74.

What a short memory.

[tburnsten]

12. Well, those shootings are awfully spaced out

just saying.

[X_Digger]

13. That's not an exhaustive list.. just random ones from way back. n/t

[AtheistCrusader]

17. There's been plenty.

That's just a few. nationwide press attention, and easy access to the information, hell, compilation of statitics and nationwide crime reporting is all fairly recent.

[rd_kent]

16. Thats usually the case...they ignore what doesn't fit their talking points.

[rrneck]

10. Yep. The Guns forum and R/T are almost interchangeable. nt

[X_Digger]

11. Throw in Israel / Palestine and the thread would leave skid marks from being moved so much. n/t

[tburnsten]

14. "by the book?" hahahahah ahahahahaha hahahahah ahahaha!

hahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha, that's rich.

[TheWraith]

15. Fine. Let the fundies have their bibles. I'll take the bullets, and the guns too.

Then we'll see what happens the next time they try imposing their will on others.

[Euromutt]

18. Well, the artwork is better than your average Chick tract...

Unfortunately, the writing isn't. As usual, it relies on a massive straw man misrepresentation of the secularists' point of view (I'm amazed Witski doesn't say "Haw! Haw! Haw!" at any point), the misrepresentation also being logically inconsistent (the fact that "there have never been any laws passed to prohibit students from distributing Bibles in public schools" is not seen as evidence that maybe there isn't some massive conspiracy to suppress Christianity).

And of course, the main character is conveniently (miraculously?) able to talk the shooter into putting down his gun with an ease that would make a professional hostage negotiator envious, instead of simply becoming the shooter's next victim. There are plenty of religious people in this country; how often has one of them managed to stop a mass shooting by stepping into the gunman's sights and telling him that "nobody wants to hurt you" and that "God wants to help you"? I sincerely doubt it's ever happened.
