Smut for Smut: Trading Pornography for Bibles (About Atheism blog)

The group ... has raised the ire of several religious organizations on campus. “In my opinion, there are no atheists. There are fools,” Pastor Rick Hawkins of UTSA’s Family Praise Center said. “So, that would be foolish propaganda. I don’t know one believer that would take his Bible and turn it in for pornography.”

As the report notes, several students had in fact exchanged Bible for pornography. There’s something ironically appropriate about Rick Hawkins forming a conclusion about this without bothering to research the matter. Once again, ideology and wishful thinking win out over reality.

I like how the blogger assumes everyone with a bible is a believer. I have my daddy's copy of "Beyond Good And Evil"* in my bookcase, but that doesn't mean either of us agree with Nietzsche.
