Bible makes strong comeback

[James]

It may sound like an unlikely No. 1 best-seller for any country, but in Norway - one of the most secular nations in an increasingly godless Europe - the runaway popularity of the Bible has caught the country by surprise. The Scriptures, in a new Norwegian language version, even outpaced "Fifty Shades of Grey" to become Norway's best-selling book.

The sudden burst of interest in God's word has also spread to the stage, with a six-hour play called "Bibelen," Norwegian for "the Bible,"...read more here: Bible makes strong comeback

I want to see that movie - that poster is epic!

 

[Murph]

Damn ! How about that? It's a trilogy! (Although this edition obviously didn't have the same cover artist)

A crazy-eyed, bearded Nazarene bareback riding Lord Pindar (who's fixing to nom ol' Deckard Cain) — seems legit. He's all like "Ermagerd! Ok, already! I'll identify your frikkin' items!"

Same here I find some comments derogative when talking about God's Bible.

 

[DCWarhound]

There is a reason religious topics are banned on Mygaming...

Oh come now. We're just having a laugh. I'm pretty sure god isn't offended because a few people are horsing around. It's not like we're mocking the christian god or christianity.

 

[Hagan]

Coincidentally, I found this on facebook.

Need to add some actual spirit to a topic of this nature...

Maybe but I for one don't know how God thinks at times. Saying that I know how plenty of Christians do think. I don't think its fair though to poke fun at any religion’s holy text, regardless where the come from and what they say. Like DCwarhound said, there is a reason these topics are banned here, this is one of those times where laughing it off as a harmless joke isn't right. I won't go so far as demanding an apology but I will ask for a cease and desist on the topic before something damaging is said.

 

[Graal]

But why? We tolerate jokes about politics, homosexuality, race, ethnicity etc, as long as they're in good taste. Why should religion be any different. As long as nobody is mocking the religion, mocking people for being religious or is somehow meant to imply that being religious is bad, what's the problem?

A joke saying christian's are stupid, that I can understand. But jokes about sequels to the Bible? The very notion of that somehow being a taboo is absurd. If your sensibilities are so sensitive that you cannot stomach people horsing about about a sequel to the bible, maybe you shouldn't be on the internet in the first place?

People joke about things. Religion included. You have the right to be offended, of course, but unless the jokes are meant in a mean-spirited way, don't expect anyone to care.

 

[The Joker]

Shit like this is not welcome here. Leave the bible bashing to that other dump aka mybb.

 

[Graal]

What bible bashing?

 

[Mephisto_Helix]

Joh, some people get butthurt about the lamest shit ........ go on joking about gays and such as Graal said though. Fucking hypocrites.

Read above.

Honestly I really don't care, this is not mybb though, so this shit shouldn't even be posted here.
There are a few good reasons why I can't be bothered to go on to the mybb forum and the topic at hand is one of them.

Also not getting into a debate about this.
So ciao.
