smut for smut
at first glance, i thought that this was extremely offensive--a college atheist group allowing people to bring religious scriptures in and trade them for pornography. i found it amusing, to be sure, but a bit offensive.
but, then, i stopped and thought...what if it was the other way around? would i find it offensive if a religious group had a stand where people could bring their pornography and trade it for religious books? no. no i wouldn't. really, there's no logic as to why one should be offensive and the other not. i've concluded that it's not logical at all--and frankly stupid--that i found it offensive in the first place. it's all a question of choice...what you get more out of. some people get more out of a religious tract of choice, some people get more out of pornography.
as for me, i'm wary about indoctrination and organized religon and holy texts. i'll take the boobies.
