Texas students argue the Bible is smut

Interesting article from the Atlanta Journal Constitution:

"The Atheist Agenda, a University of Texas San Antonio student organization, is preaching the Bible and other religious writings are just as smutty as recognized pornography.

The “smut for smut” campaign this week tries to counter the religious message of love by noting that the Bible and the Quran recount violence and torture, according to the San Antonio News-Express.

“It’s a First Amendment right,” said Bradley Lewis, an 18-year-old member of the Atheist Agenda. “If religious groups can put out missionaries and go knock on my door and wake me up at 7 a.m. on a Saturday morning, I can put a table outside of a college.”

Nobody seems to be contesting the group's right to have their say, but Robin Lorkovic -- standing nearby with a sign proclaiming “God Loves you! Keep your Bible and learn from it” -- said the Atheist Agenda’s campaign was inappropriate.

“I am a Christian,” Lorkovic, 18, told the News-Express. “I believe in God’s love, and I am here to stand my ground and stand up for what I believe in.”

Lewis conceded that the event is basically a publicity stunt and a means to generate debate.

“This is ultimately why this is going on,” Lewis said. “It's an icebreaker to get people talking about these things.” (more)
