What idea's do you out there have of hiding bibles(or parts thereof) in your backyard for the poor souls that are "left behind" to endure the most horrible time in human history.Such idea,s as

Why hide them?
And most importantly, why take pains trying to hide a single most widespread book in the history of humanity? Why would anyone go looting the mysteriously disappeared neighbour's home looking for one, when you can, as things stand in today's world, barely stretch your arms without knocking a pile of Bibles over?
And how exactly would the Bible help us after The Rapture, when "Rapture" is not even mentioned in The Bible? Revelations doesn't have a set of directions for "After the Rapture," just end-of-the-world destruction. And the Prophets are actually going on about Isreal in the 8-6th centuries B.C., not 21st century America.
So how would we read the directions in a convoluted library of ancient mythical and prophetic texts again?
Cassandra, their idea is that they should leave them to help save those who are "left behind". They believe that after the rapture, all the belongings of 'believers' who have 'disappeared' will be destroyed...
You know, I whole-heartedly support this "bury Bibles all over town" approach. It gets the fundies away from their computers and out in the open air, it exposes them to other viewpoints ("What the hell are you doing?" "I'm burying a bible." "...Why? Do you want me to call a doctor or something?"), and I'm sure nobody will, say, haul them into court for trespassing and vandalising "lost" people's gardens. :-)
Okay, let's play for a minute. Let's suppose the Rapture happens. There are so few Real Christians (TM) that the rest of us will just shrug and carry on.
Okay, I'll go further. Let's suppose there's this tribulation and all is chaos etc.
Let me assure you that those of us left behind will be looking for things like food, fuel, security. Not f**king bibles.
No, really. If the mob is at the door and the cupboard is empty and my children are crying from hunger and fear - I won't be thinking, "Gosh, I must go digging up 24thchance's garden on the offchance that I might find something which is of no use to me anyway."
Oh, right, bury your bibles in the ground, where nobody will ever look at them again.
I like that 'or parts thereof'. Presumably the parts that would be buried would be the parts that support the fundies' beliefs, and all the other parts that do not give such support would be torn up and thrown into the garbage including the loving words of Jesus, of course.
10.what material to use(not detectable w/metal detectors)
I thought this halfwit wanted people to be able to find the bibles hence the maps. (Or should I say map's? That was one of the few plurals this moron got right, so let's at least show him/her how to be consistent).
fergus
They really seem to have the belief that none of the people who aren't "true believers" have ever even seen a bible.
I've been an atheist since I figured out the deal with Santa at age three. I've been very, very much an atheist since 12-13 something. And I have three bibles.
One is a beautiful antique, printed in the lat 19th century. I treasure that book and I've read most of it. I'm still not a believer.
LOL
Hide them where no one knows where they are and they could never be found except by accident. Maybe someone will be digging an outhouse or well or burying poor ol' Ma and stumble across that chapter you ripped out containing the begats.
And yeah after you all get raptured, Obama's henchmen are going to be all over your property with metal detectors looking for the Bibles you hid. God, you people are fucking insane!
Oh, for fuck's sake! If anyone does this, some amateur archaelogist, or perhaps someone trying to dig a well or plant a garden, will find this 100 years from now and wonder what was up.

...aaaaaaaaaaand where there's supposed to be an apostrophe, there's a comma . Congratualtions; you've just made my elbows pee. I know, it doesn't make any sense to me either, but somehow, you've managed to do it: the punctuation in your post actually made my
elbows ...
...PEE .
(By the way - maps? The people you assume are going to be left behind aren't the ones who are lost.)
So, your plan is to hide your bibles so as to make it difficult if not impossible to find them , so that non-believers can benefit from them?
That sounds a lot like your god.
I laughed picturing these guys getting caught in the middle of the night on their neighbors property trying to bury bibles.
"But officer how will their souls be saved after the rapture without my emergency bible kit?"
Cop: "Yea, yea. Do you know what trespassing and destruction of property is sir?"
Wait a minute..did you just say that the mass disappearance of the most aggrivating cult on Earth will be "the most horrible time in human history"? THE HELL YOU SAY.
Sure, leave as many bibles as you like. They will get burned when I am cold. I will be to busy tossing those fucking ugly cherub nick nacks out of your house so I can move into it. Thanks for the car 24thchance.
Most people, whether believers or not, have at least one bible in there homes. Me and my wife, who are agnostic/looking into paganism, have around six, and we have four new testaments. One of my bibles is even an Interlinear bible, with Hebrew OT, Greek NT, and literal English translation. So we don't need you to bury/hide bibles for us. We have them, we've actually read them, and we don' really care what they say.
dpareja: So *that's* what I've been doing wrong. That's why those CD thingymajigs weren't writing onto what I thought were CDs...
And, well, that was the least of my problems.
@Kimby:
Ah, so all their belongings will be destroyed, including maps and other clues that would explain the nonbelievers where the heck the Bibles are hidden. Got you, but there's still some parts of this plan that remain... a little bit murky.
I own 4 bibles, most atheists have at least one. Don't worry about it.
Tell you what, if a bunch of people suddenly disappear, I will convert immediately, in fact I will spend all eternity as your personal slave because I mocked you. Now that would be hell.
At least this person seems to be acting out of Christian-like compassion and concern for those they think will be left behind, as opposed to the usual RR hypocrite, most of whom usually seem to be frothing at the mouth at the thought of laughing from above as the inferior unbelievers suffer.
if you want to leave bibles for those left behind, why would you want to hide them in addition to why would you even need to provide them with such a ubiquitous book? Oh right, you're stupid, that's why.
Confused?
So were we! You can find all of this, and more, on Fundies Say the Darndest Things!
