    Look, the people who hand out Bibles are usually from a specific sect of Christianity.

    I get it, they’re just as shitty as most Christians, in most ways, but…

    The reason they give the Bibles away is because they figure that knowledge is power and they don’t want to force people to have to spend money they don’t have to be able to read the Bible.

    I hate to say it, but I agree with their attitudes regarding freedom and access to information. They may not be distributing information I care for, but I can’t fault the attitude. Information and access to it shouldn’t be limited, because knowledge is power.

    Right attitude, wrong values otherwise.

      I want to choose when (and if) I read bullshit, thank you very much.

        I mean they are giving them away freely and not forcing the book on people. They accept “no” as an answer if you don’t want a copy. You are really free to ignore them.
