Comments on They Sent It to Us: "Color Me Bible"

I would kill my own mother for a dude ranch vacation.

PR 101, know the audience your press releases are going to. I almost feel sorry for Carey Kinsolving.

Did anyone else immediately think "light as a feather, stiff as a board" about the "arise" illustration? Or was it just me because I just finished watching the slumber party South Park episode.

Jesus and the Lepers is gonna be my next band's name, yo.

now all these hipster assholes are going to send snide anti-relegion cartoons and pornography thinking there being "cool" and "edgy"
SCREW THAT!
these are cute, let the little kids have there cute fun

The comic sans is classy.

OK, linus, but I still think we should enter. If we win, we can take our guns down there and teach the kids how to shoot. No good Christian should have a problem with that, right?

Yeah, kids will see you flashing your gun around and think you're a hero instead of a desperate loser.

To be fair, elenchos, I first learned how to shoot a gun at a Christian camp in 5th grade.

Jesus and the Chickenpox.

This a future "Youth Pastor Watch" post in the making.

Eh, what's a little casual blasphemy between friends?

I have my issues with religion in general...but I dont see it as an excuse to crash and soil a family event....unless you were actualy sincere about teaching gun safety

NRA-certified instructor here, and serious as a heart attack.

So Jesus is just Fred Flintstone with a beard?

I think this is actually a pretty great idea. In my experience, there seems to be a pretty strong correlation between not reading the Bible and fundamentalism. The more of it you read, the harder it is to take it literally.

But of course most of the adults who encourage kids to participate are going to tell them what bits to read and what to draw...

@15 or seriously.

I may have misinterpreted what Brendan was suggesting, but I thought he was saying send your entries to the Stranger, not to the crazy PR man. The kids can still have their fun and win their free trip to a dude ranch (aka free labor for ranchers) and the hipster assholes can have their fun too.

I think the kids should take requests. Submit your favorite passages for them to illustrate, like.

"The people of Samaria must bear the consequences of their guilt because they rebelled against their God. They will be killed by an invading army, their little ones dashed to death against the ground, their pregnant women ripped open by swords." (Hosea 13:16 NLT)

@16 - Very true. A lot of the stuff Jesus has to say is pretty great, but most of the things people kill over are really silly.

Wow. Jesus and the Lepers is a great drawing. I love it.

They WOULD pick the Book of John, though. That's the crazy one.

you heathens are all going to hell.

This heathen is going to go listen to his Color me Barbara album in protest.

Who the fuck wants to go to South Padre Island? It's not worth the waste of a perfectly good burnt orange crayon.
