You do realize its TRICK or treat, correct? You owe that house a trick.

Someone is asking for a giant shit on their front porch.

NO. My own shit. I'm going to eat a bunch of corn and then void my bowels all over their porch.

You can tell this comment came from deep within the bowels of the internet.

For added fun, also consume a box of cap'n crunch that's the crunch berries only. Or something else with copious amounts of blue food dye in it.

Eat a #10 can of either peanuts or corn before. You'll won't be disappointed!

A little too generic, but I'll check off on it if you can incorporate the bible somehow.

Bake him some poop-bread based on the recipe in the bible.

[–]ultimatt42 3 points4 points ago

Okay, but you probably don't want to do that in your own oven unless you want your house to smell like poop-bread.

Can you think of a better way to make kids hate religion?

I think I'll be giving out bibles next year.

My son got a business card from a realtor tonight.

Just as bad IMO.

Thank them for fire starting material. Ask them what their kids are dressed like so you can give them atheist pamphlets, with candy attached.

Attach it to a brick and throw it through their window.

I remember reading an AMA of a dude who ate paper and said he'd eat the bible if he had the opportunity... I sense a win-win here.

I think technically this could constitute a criminal act. I'm thinking back to my class on communication law from uni. The act of giving out bibles to people is without question an act of speech. But you can't simply throw your speech on others, people have to be able to choose whether or not they want to expose themselves to your speech, which is one of the reasons why we have "time, place, and manner" restrictions. Technically, as long as the person (didn't give the child[ren] a choice, and) forced the bible into the child[ren]'s bag, they could most definitely be brought in front of a civil court and found responsible for damages.

I almost gave out a variety of religious texts this year. But that costs money.

Who's the asshole here? It is trick or treat, after all. If you don't want the bible, just give it away or toss it. Don't be a dick about it.

you know... I've always viewed it to be important to have a few bibles around the house. Honestly, it's really great for understanding a lot of older literary references. I mean yes, it sucks for the kid, but bibles do cost $ and that's all that much more money you're taking away from them. Just take the loss and look at it as a way to increase your literary awareness...
