I saw one of these vending machines at a Wal-Mart in Rockland, Maine last month and I regretted not getting a picture of my own.
I wonder what the reaction would be if I installed public vending machines that contained the following:
1. Buttons that read: "The Bible is pulp fiction."
2. Jesus suckers so kids could eat Christ on the Cross.
3. Communion wafer animal crackers.
4. Get out of Sunday school free cards.
5. For lucky winners, a prize bag that contains nothing but air and a note that reads: "Nothing in here but your friend God".
Just wondering .....
i'd install your machine everywhere, but isn't the above machine equally blasphemous?
ReplyDeleteHaha, that is a great idea, although I don't think Wal-mart would be too happy about that.
ReplyDeleteAnyways, I've just come across your blog, I found it while checking out the Christian Apologetics Society blog (which I commented on a conversation you have started with them, I don't think they have approved it yet, and maybe they never will) but I just want to say great job on what you've got going on here.
I recently started my own blog, called The Secular Thinker at
http://the-secular-thinker.blogspot.com/
Please feel free to check it out and let me know what you think. I know that I will spend a lot of time on your site in the near future, as I think you have some great ideas and are a very worthwhile writer. Perhaps together we could team up to finally defeat the CAS blog and their arguments, although I commend you for your work to date, they are continuing to ignore reason. Anyways, keep up the good work and hopefully this will be the start of many meaningful conversations.
@TheSecularThinker: beware of TAM. Probably a staunch Bibleist in disguise.
ReplyDeleteHow about a machine that accepts money in exchange for sins? We can call it "The Heavenly Seven". I'll be first in line with my bag of tokens.
About the OP: didn't Dylan say something about flesh colored Christs that glow in the dark?
ReplyDeleteCKDC: your machine would be indulgences updated.
As I walk by that vending machine at Wal-Mart in Rockland, I will think of you.
