This new book is missing the point completely.
More high-end magazine than your typical Bible, the approved American Bible Society text is laid out in easy-to-read columns and paragraphs using chapter headings only, no verses. Totally unique in format and design, the contemporary photographs complement the story, provoke thought and connect to your everyday life.
I think “sex sells” is being taken a little too far here, bordering on outright blasphemy.. Why do we need pictures of celebrities in our Bible? What is this, My First Picture Bible? What’s next, Dr. Seuss’ Guide to the the Scriptures?
Like all religious holy texts, The Christian Bible is, by necessity, a dense book. If you don’t take your faith seriously enough to read even a few verses a day, pictures – let alone completely irrelevant ones – won’t make it any easier to digest.
Even if this glorified – pun intended – picturebook is being marketed towards a younger, “hipper” audience, it will still fail. Thing is, young adults don’t LIKE to read, they want to look at pictures or watch a movie. Youngsters, especially in the Western World, are generally retarded and most have ADHD anyway.
Look, I’m definitely no saint (in fact I am an angry, jaded, bitter, faithless person) but I DO know what the Bible is about, having read it cover-to-cover at least THRICE in my lifetime.
And this, sirs, is NO Bible.

That's the problem that Bible Illuminated tries (and fails) to address... no matter what we do, any Young Person caught reading the Bible is immediately (and ironically) assumed to be teh GAY.

Casual Observation – Black Women Are Psycho
July 7, 2009Based on over 10 years of experience, I have come to the conclusion… I mean, I am fairly goddamn certain… that the majority of African-American women are emotionally and mentally ill.
And I don’t mean African-Immigrant women either. Those ones have their own set of challenges and quirks, none of which I’d classify as anything even approaching the raving madness which is African-American women.
Now, please don’t ask me to back up my statement with stuff like ”facts” and “research”. What respectable clinic, agency, or research group would be suicidal enough to publish anything that even HINTS of gender-biased data?
Look, eventually I’ll get around to writing my book and telling stories of my experiences and encounters. Until then, you’ll have to just trust me and my experiences and observations:
Black women are certified bat-shit insane.
