Not really.

The Bible is pretty bitchin' if you pay close attention to the murders, rapes, incests, stonings, the no touching-of-women during their unclean months, animal sacrifice, plagues, infanticides, genocides, never-ending wars, slaughter of armies via an animal's jawbone, a whole shitload of wrathful smiting, be-headings, incest, shameful display of fathers' penis's, fratricide....homoeroticism, whoring, canabalism, rape by angel, death by angel, talking animals, incendiary shrubbery, 'ol bearded coots, hallucination via dehydration, the "scent of deathly souls" (myrhh), incest, washing of feet, boozing, tits and cock, more incest and booze, zombies.....womanizing, shrooms, kick-ass flesh-eating diseases, law-creating Jews, God-creating Jews, Jews waiting for messiah, messiah-hatin' Jews, crowing cocks, homoerotic torture, regular torture, kick-ass Romans, tacky Emporers, Andrew Lloyd Webber lyrics, guy from Deep Purple yelling shit, some more infanticide, demons, seven-headed dragons, seven-headed dragons eating kingdoms, demons fighting angles, lava...
lava is pretty cool.

ah shit. there was some other stuff too.

anyway, it's all deemed perfectly acceptable for ALL AGES, so no reason to complain. In the meantime, avert your eyes from the random possibility of 4 seconds of shameful nipple display of which Network Television is in constant danger of exposing us! Holy hell, our wicked society is collapsing at the seems. Better stick to our Bibles such that our souls may be saved!

The easiest way to get one is to rent a room at a local motel, then steal the one from the night stand.

Nothing about that post implies atheism. It's just a list of things that happen in the Bible. BTW, he forgot the part where God made bears jump out of the fucking woods and maul some children. That shit was badass.
 
Any bookstore has it. They usually also have a copy of the Koran as well.

edit: I got mine free in the Army back in 1990.

1: How do you know he is an atheist?
2: He never said you couldn't believe
3: He actually was saying you SHOULD read it, because of all those things in there
4: He is saying it's a bit hypocritical that religious folks talk of how immoral stuff on network tv/movies/music are, but theres stuff 10x worse in the bible
5: If you want to believe in magical, invisible, omnipotent men then believe a lie all you want

I need it for tomorrow


bibles are like starbucks... they can be found all over the place when you don't need them (like in every hotel room or every street corner for starbucks) but when you do, they are so hard to find!!

worst analogy ever.

Yes B&N has bibles.
 
Borders
Barnes and Noble

I recommend NASB or NKJV translations, and the John MacArthur study bible if they have it.

I also realized that I forgot Regicide, my favorite reference to murder.

The Bible is great, though. It's a true literary masterpiece any way you want to look at it.

I've flipped through this in a bookstore. Obviously it's limited in the amount of text, and it detracts from the text itself. I was expecting a lot of bad paraphrasing, but it's fairly accurate in what it does quote, from what I've seen.

The Bible is pretty bitchin' if you pay close attention to the *SNIP* no touching-of-women during their unclean months, *SNIP*

I've been married 9 years, and my wife is pretty dirty, but whole months!??

The Silmarillion is a better comparison.

You must have some weaksauce faith if that's keeping you from believing in any way.
