I Wonder If They'll Make Ones That Say "Jesus Loves Wojr"This is the perfect way to start my day. Found on
KCCI.com (via
attu):
The American Bible Society is refusing to print New Testaments with covers that say "Jesus Loves Porn Stars."
California pastors Mike Foster and Craig Gross, whose anti-porn ministry is called www.xxxchurch.com, had ordered 10,000 of the customized Bibles to hand out at adult film conventions.
But the edgy cover led the publisher to cancel the paid order.
The American Bible Society said that while it appreciates the pastors' mission, the words "Jesus Loves Porn Stars" are "misleading and inappropriate for a New Testament."
This strikes me as being extremely comical.
Wasn't the entire point of the New Testament to show how Jesus loved and accepted everybody? Even the prostitutes?
What word do you think the American Bible Society takes issue with the most? I think it's "loves", because that word opens up a world of possibilities with its vagueness. If they had clarified it and said "Jesus Loves Porn Stars, but respects them to such a degree that he would refrain from putting his penis inside them", I think that pill would be easier to swallow.
Or is it "Stars"? Do you think the American Bible Society just didn't want to exclude any starlets or up & coming amateurs from God's love?
It's definitely not "Porn", because as I said
here:
If Jesus was still alive, I think he'd be a fan of porn - just not the kind that degrade the ladies (except when the ladies like the masochism (and by "like" I mean REALLY LIKE and not just have a passing fancy for. I'm talking about a primal need for it here.)). But I'm probably just another sh-thead trying to put my words in the mouth of Jesus.
But really, do you think they would have issues with "
Jesus Loves Wojr" bibles? Because I bet there is a market for those puppies.
I wonder if I could get a picture of me on the front cover - giving two big thumbs up.
Or maybe playing with my nipples.
Do you think the New Testament is against "nipple play"?
