(BP) Kelly Boggs–Atheist group wanted to rip pages from Bible, so where was the media interest?

I regard the atheist group’s attack on the Bible the same way I view fringe Christian organizations that pull similar stunts. It is nothing more than a crass and pathetic attempt to gain publicity. As such, it really should be ignored.

However, if you compare the news coverage this has garnered with the media attention given Christian groups that have held similar events, the terms hypocrisy and double-standard immediately come to mind.

Read it all.

    Seriously, I think for the media to take any interest in something like this there has to be an organized or vocal opposition of some sort. It is not the media’s role to be the source of opposition, just to report on it.

  2. Br. Michael says:

    Ha. The media is biased and blatantly supports liberal/progressive causes and attacks anyone to the right of them. They decide what to report, when to report it and what the news slant will be.

    Of course it’s a double standard. If they wanted to whip up outrage and create a media fire storm against this group they could do it in a heart beat. They just don’t want to.

    Christian mobs are rampaging through the streets at this very moment, enraged by this affront to their God and desecration of their Holy Book, and are calling for a holy war against the offenders.
