Defacing the Bible as Taxpayer-Funded Art
It would be nice to think that moonbats are merely misguided. Many are, but at the core of their ideology, we find something very different from honest error. Vicious hatred of everything sacred is no accident:
A publicly funded exhibition is encouraging people to deface the Bible in the name of art — and visitors have responded with abuse and obscenity.
The show includes a video of a woman ripping pages from the Bible and stuffing them into her bra, knickers and mouth.
The open Bible is a central part of 'Made in God's Image,' an exhibition at the Gallery of Modern Art in Glasgow. By the book is a container of pens and a notice saying: "If you feel you have been excluded from the Bible, please write your way back into it."
The exhibit, Untitled 2009, was proposed by the Metropolitan Community Church, which said that the idea was to reclaim the Bible as a sacred text. But to the horror of many Christians, including the community church, visitors have daubed its pages with comments such as "This is all sexist pish, so disregard it all." A contributor wrote on the first page of Genesis: "I am Bi, Female & Proud. I want no god who is disappointed in this."
The Church of Scotland expressed concern, the Roman Catholic Church called the exhibit infantile, and a Christian lawyers' group said that the exhibition was symptomatic of a broken and lawless society.
What it is symptomatic of is moonbattery, the same godless corrosion that has destroyed Britain and rendered its fetid remnants so broken and lawless.
The exhibition has been created by the artists Anthony Schrag and David Malone, in association with organizations representing gay Christians and Muslims. Mr Schrag, the gallery's artist in residence, said that he did not believe in God, but that his research for the show had underlined his respect for people of faith.
Gay Christians and Muslims. These organizations ought to branch out and represent all "Christians and Muslims" who are proud to wallow in forms of depravity explicitly condemned by the religions they mock.
The community church, which celebrates "racial, cultural, linguistic, sexual, gender and theological diversity," had suggested the "interactive" Bible and pens and Mr Schrag, 34, said he had been intrigued.
Naturally bureaucrats regarded this project as a suitable rat hole to pour taxpayer money down.
On a tip from Oiao.

Alright, if they celebrate "racial, cultural, linguistic, sexual, gender and theological diversity," then how 'bout we toss a Qur'an in there and see if these bottom-feeders have any issues with the display.
I guarantee that you'd hear no word of this display from here on out. Or it would get burned down and blamed on "militaristic extremist" Christians... F***ing morons.

Similar to the Washington Elites' idea of sophisticated entertainment: Bare-Breasted Female Sword-fighting.

How about adding a copy of the KORAN to the display too? Along with a toilet for flushing the pages?

If these assholes had just one hair on their collective asses they'd do this to the Corian.
Oh sorry, the POS koran; they'd wipe their artsy asses with the scummy koran!

I find this gross beyond words, and I am in no measure a bible type.
It truly is amazing how these cowardly people have become, defacing and degrading their own historical roots and sacred documents, while punishing themselves for the slightest insult to the invaders' texts and beliefs. One keeps asking "WHY?" and there's never an answer, or even a hint of an answer or explanation. Well, we know what the answer is - raw fear. If they could just admit that and start there, they might make some progress.
Plus, you really have to ask, in a culture that has produced Rembrandt and Mozart, where the "art" is in shoving pieces of paper into your underwear.

"Stupid" is the only word for it.

Many leftists/progressives have, at minimum, a disrespect of Christianity, and many have a real hatred of it. Since true Christianity is really the only thing stopping full-on Marxism from taking over the world, you can see why they've declared war on all things Christian -- especially Catholic.
Many non-radicals left of center feel a need to denounce Christian teachings just so they fit into their self-proclaimed intellectually superior peer group. One symptom of this twisted desire is the latest rage in the progressive world of reversing baptisms. Yes, you can now publicly declare your hatred of Christianity, your parents, and your civilization by retracting your baptism for the world to see. You can probably tear up the Bible while you're at it to drive the point home. De-baptism, as they call it, is designed to free you from the simple-minded restrictions of Christian teaching and morality, and more importantly but unstated, proclaim your whopping intelligence to all your friends.
BTW, has the first family chosen a church in DC yet?

The irony here is that Christianity (& Jesus) loves the SINNERS (while hating the sin).
Their precious Islam, on the other hand, MURDERS the sinners.
Lefturds are THE most self-destructive...um, people? around. I say the sooner we let/help them do just -- self-destruct -- the sooner we can get back to a Ten Commandments-type world.

While the country formerly known as "Great" Britian is using taxpayer funds to allow freaks to desecrate Bibles, our own military is burning them over in Afghanistan: http://www.worthynews.com/5740-outrage-over-us-military-bible-burnings-in-afghanistan
Outrage Over US Military Bible Burnings In Afghanistan
Friday, May 22, 2009 (4:44 am)
By Worthy News Chief International Correspondent Stefan J. Bos with reports from the United States and Afghanistan
WASHINGTON/KABUL (Worthy News)-- The president of a US-based group helping Christians persecuted for their faith has expressed outrage that United States military personnel have burned confiscated Bibles in Afghanistan.
"It really should shake the core of every Christian to realize that Bibles are being burned," said Carl Moeller President of Open Doors USA in an interview with Mission Network News monitored Friday, May 22, by Worthy News.
The Bibles, printed in the two most common Afghan languages, were burned amid concern they would be used to try to convert Afghans, the Cable News Network (CNN) quoted a a Defense Department spokesman as saying.
However military analyst and Pentagon adviser, Lt. Col. Robert Maginnis, criticized the move. "There is no need to burn the Bibles. They could have been shipped back," he said. "Just imagine if we, the same the United States military, were to take a bunch of Korans and burn them. I can imagine the ramifications across the world."
In a statement, the Pentagon said military officers considered sending the Bibles back to the church, but they worried the church would turn around and send them to another organization in Afghanistan -- giving the impression that they had been distributed by the U.S. government.

There is reportedly a tiny Christian minority in Afghanistan, however especially former converts can faith death because of their faith, several rights investigators have confirmed.
The row over the Bible burning comes shortly after the Pentagon announced this week that it no longer includes a Bible quote on the cover page of daily intelligence briefings it sends to the White House as was practice during the George W. Bush administration.

And, lest we forget, we, as a "sensitive" and "diverse" and "inclusive" country, have to try to "understand" "tolerate" and "accommodate" the godless killjoys who want to remove every vestige of our national motto "In God We Trust" from our coinage and government buildings. http://www.aclj.org/OnTheTv/?aP=592a935f-3498-4d48-b16f-1ea3b44bcf37&mmType=4#
Just why the hell can't they move to Britian where they will be immersed and can wallow in all the multicultural crap, and leave the Christian traditions and God-fearing people in this country well enough alone.
I wonder where Barack Hussein Obama falls on this issue? I'll bet we're more likely to see him pick a church and cough up a real birth certificate before we get a truthful response.

Because they're control freaks as well. It's not good enough for them that they've come up with what's "obviously" the best way, they have to have EVERYBODY else not only acknowledge this but adopt it. The fact that there are other places where it's been adopted already is not relevant, regardless how much of a failure it's been. It's the fact that there are places where it HASN'T been adopted that offends them.

Precisely why the Second Amendment is so vital.

The Bible is not like the Koran. Islam considers the Koran to be Holy and to abuse it or debase it is a terrible thing in their eyes. To Christians, the Bible is just a book. It is what it says and means that is Holy. The Christian God does not live in a book. The Word is not confined to paper pages any more than it is locked in some image or statuary. As long as personal copies are available and everyone has free access to a Bible, then these idiots can have at it and do this thing and it is between them and God. I suppose it is hard to just ignore them--but it really doesn't much matter to us what they do to a Bible. But can you imagine the absolute horror they would feel if they ever do become Christian and realize what they did? Just how do you tell God, "Oops, I wish I wouldn't have done that, Sorry."
