favorite comment on the pornhub article: "The fact that you mention playboy as porn is a little unsettling, but anything that flies in the face of religion is a step in the right direction."

U of Texas Atheists exchange Bibles for porn, giving me a reason to visit Texas
Okay, okay! Religion day is rolling along here at Making a Mockery, with this latest hilarious news out of the University of Texas San Antonio. A group called Atheists Agenda — who is probably in bed with their Gay, Commie, and Red Homo agenda-ist brethren — has established a station where students can exchange their bibles for sweet sweet pornography.

The Paisano, the independent student newspaper of UT, reports:

Playboy, Penthouse and other adult magazines were exchanged for Bibles, Torahs, Korans, and other religious texts at the annual Smut for Smut event hosted by the UTSA Atheist Agenda on March 1.

A screaming, singing throng of UTSA students circled around the steps running from the JPL to the MS, anchored to a small booth offering the strange trade as opponents of the Atheist Agenda’s methods gathered in protest.

I’m kind of ambivalent about this kind of action. On the one hand, life is short, so have fun with your over-the-top stunt, Atheists Agenda. If I were still in college, I’d probably be out there with you. Your overall point — that the Bible, taken as a whole, is an awful source of morality — is right on, and it’s a point that’s worth repeating.

On the other hand, it’s frustrating when atheists gets dismissed as condescending assholes, which, sadly, it is very easy to do with this group. And although an action like this vaguely gets people talking about religion, the focus often begins and ends on the tactics of the group — Are they being respectful enough!?!?!?! or Is this effective!?!?!?! – and, frankly, that’s not a very interesting discussion if you ask me.

Better to ask people to read Richard Dawkins and see if it hits with them than to ensure that one’s adversaries have an cartoon strawman to kick around.

The last word goes to a commenter on BoingBoing, who correctly writes:

Most porn has gotten so formulaic and boring in the last few years, the Bible might actually be more stimulating.

Amen, and all praise to Allah.

Oh look! There's even a documentary!

The Atheist Agenda is an organization founded in 2005 by a group of atheist and agnostic students and teachers from the The University of Texas at San Antonio[1]. The group is dedicated to the philosophy of free thought, as well as promoting aggressive activism against theology and theological institutions, encouraging non-believers to take pride in their history and community, and providing to them the same fellowship that those of a religious background share. The Agenda frequently holds meetings open to all who wish to learn, and is known for staging demonstrations (most notably the "Smut for Smut" campaign[2]) in the San Antonio and Austin areas, to make their viewpoints known. Since its creation, the Atheist Agenda has grown from small gathering of students to a group of hundreds, with members at The University of Texas at Austin and University of Houston in addition to those at UTSA. The Short Documentary "The Atheist Agenda" was made by Say Si students Tyler McCardle and Jacob Schirmer

Damn...I'm at work today so I can't go there. My free thought is,however,is that if you have to deny that something exists then what you are denying probably does exist.

I dare you to deny porn. Deny that Debbie did Dallas or Detoit or whatever. Hell...she probably did Selma too. Gay female porn stars do Thelma....mind you gay guys would to....lithp anyone?

Fuck..why turn in the bible? Why not read the bible with the porn. They would enhance each other. Do it in front of a picture of the Pope. Works for me.

Maybe even invest in an altar.

Abrahamic porn is only sexy if you're into rape and snuff. I may not be thoroughly vanilla, but some guy offering his daughter to a crowd to rape, while he jacks off and watches, just isn't really my thing.
