Gender specific bibles?
April 29, 2016 at 10:45 am
So I came across a photo of a bible for boys and sure enough the same company published one for girls. Upon further investigation I learned that each is written in a way to appeal to it's intended audience. The same goes for the covers: [Image: NIV-Girls-and-Boys-Bibles_1024.jpg]

Thoughts?

A last, desperate attempt to hook our youth to the addiction of religion in an ever more secular society?

Children stories fit well with the bible.

The hunger games- the story of feeding the 5000
The maze runner-the story of being lost for 40 years in a relatively small patch of land.
Catching fire-the talking bush thing
The wizard of OZ- an all powerful being who is actually a man made construct



You can fix ignorance, you can't fix stupid.

My eldest granddaughter has the FaithGirlz version. She got it as a birthday gift from her other grandparents. Let's just say that I get "World's Best Grandma" mugs, while the other grandma gets a birdhouse.

I had a bible aimed at teen girls when I was growing up. It had a lot of inserts about boys and dating and friend drama and all the stuff they think teen girls need godly advice about.

Dear God in heaven, anyone even thinks about touching either of those fucking abominations is going to BURN BURN BURN in fucking hell forever !!!!
 The granting of a pardon is an imputation of guilt, and the acceptance a confession of it.

My son (my oldest granddaughters' dad) said about it: "I thought they'd at least take the misogynistic parts out, but then I realized it'd be blank"

My granddaughter said it's lame, and tried leaving it at her grandparents house. She told her dad that it's like a textbook that tries to be 'cool', but is just 'lame'. Personally I don't think it's appropriate for an 11 year old to have a bible.
