Ooh, missed that! And weapons.

I wouldn't know for myself, but I hear that Bibles are a good way to transport shivs into a jail.

Or when a fucking fatass is giving a book to someone who is starving.

You know, I know where you're coming from, but I'm sure Japan exports more Japanese-language Bibles than any other nation on Earth...but I doubt anybody would say it's their biggest export.

See what I'm saying? The fact that we give the most money doesn't mean that money is the thing we donate the most of.

It's probably true, but it doesn't follow from your argument.

[–]Anzereke 0 points1 point ago

Bad comparison. It's not going by GDP or such but by actual amounts. Since different countries have different sizes this is useless as a comparison. Considering size and economy difference between The Uk and US for instance the gap between them is very small.

[–]mcwilshire 0 points1 point ago

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

This is not a distinction that matters to aid recipients or makes a difference in their lives. You could argue that perhaps nations that give more per capita or GDP are more generous, but who gives the most, who actually provides the most in aid? The US does.

I'm not trying to be precious about this, I don;t care where it comes from. rather I;m saying that the chart is pointless as it doesn't actually compare anything. far more useful would ba a similarly done comparison of where the money goes.

I would have subtitled it with, "Bitch I can't even read."

The ironic part is that because of the lack of educational infrastructure outside cities, a sizable percentage of the country is functionally illiterate - which is probably why they are bothering to pay extra to give out audio bibles.

"Wow -- what a hike up here. My shirt fit when we landed at the airstrip. But that hike made me so hungry that I ate all the food donated for you by the good folks back in uh 'merica -- thought I would bust a gut before gettin' here. Here's a bible. What's for supper?"

I'm just wondering if we also gave them matches, so they could use it.

I'm guessing they need fire to cook with.

[–][deleted] 1 point2 points ago

sorry, this has been archived and can no longer be voted on

There's no freakin context. They could've been given food as well.

If I give someone a hamburger and a bag of rocks, that doesn't somehow make the bag of rocks less of a waste of their time.

That doesn't change how hilarious as well as disturbing the mindset behind this image is.

[–]jeremiahwarren 0 points1 point ago

Of course they give food and supplies along with the Bibles, but the joke wouldn't be funny.

Scumbag Christians: Give a country of people eating dirt a book they can't read.

It'll help kindle the fire to cook the meal of scraps they salvaged from a garbage. How kind of them.

I have two adopted brothers from haiti, both were brought to the states after age 18 after my mom met them during an army aid mission. There is a huge supernatural population in haiti and the populace gladly and fervently turns to christianity.. Their pious christianity was the reason for their adoption I wonder how much of it is just realizing that christians are an easy mark and give money/adopt you.. I've had numerous fb adds and requests for money/meds etc from friends of friends of theirs.. Unnerving to say the least.

[–]porizj 1 point2 points ago

supernatural

I don't think that word means what you think it means.

That, or I really need to go check out Haiti.

The solution is clear to me at last.

Edible Bibles. Read the word of gawd, then eat it.

[–]Aoe330 1 point2 points ago

I'm just saying I'm sitting on a intellectual goldmine here.

  1. Invent a fully edible Bible
  2. Sell it to religious groups
  3. Let the religious groups give it away to starving people
  4. Use our profit to build more Atheist billboards

We'd be helping stop world hunger by taking money away from churches, while using the money to fund deconversions. It's like a guy getting two birds stoned.
