The University of Texas at San Antonio "Atheist Agenda"?

Good evening all, I live in San Antonio, Texas and tonight I was watching the news about the university I graduated from. There is a organization called the "Atheist Agenda" and they have this "agenda" (if you will) about trading your bible, koran and other religious books for porn. I just wanted to get other peoples opinions about the matter. I really enjoyed the school I graduated from and as a christian, I am very open to having other organizations on the campus and I've met so many great people (belief or non belief). I guess my main thing is, if SOME atheists think that christians and other religious groups are "uneducated" or "delusional" for our belief then why not hand out educational books to support what you believe in to educated the masses? Why would pornography be a good idea? Would any of you say that this was a mature move? Although I am a christian, I am staying neutral about this situation. If anyone would like a link or a source, I'll be happy to obtain one.

Thank you all for your time. Please, no mean answers. I am not trying to start fights or a mature discussion. Have a great evening.

Respectfully,

Ms. Lady :-)

Update:

@ No gods-It's the students organization. The univeristy is fine because it does not violate free speech.

Update 2:

@ ungodly-I can get you the new's website but I do not know the orgnazations website. Ezekiel 23 :18-23 is about the judgement on Jerusalem..what does that have to do with porn?

Update 3:

@ valen- "kill a witch"? I had nothing to do with the Salem witch trials. Would it be fair for me to say "go own a slave? because you're white? No, it wouldn't. Lets be mature please. I asked kindly.

Update 4:

@ Saul-I get the point. It's a "weak" point. If you're that adamant about getting your point across, then why not educate others in a sensible manor? It is a university.

Update 5:

@ ungodly-when your done trying to "belittle" me because of this post, try googeling it.

    I do go to the University of Texas at San Antonio (UTSA) and this story is VERY TRUE!!! It made the news and everything. I don't agree with what they did, but i wish they went a different way about it. yes, like handing out educational books or even free copuns to mikey d's. they school did not step in for the fact that the club would of said "freedom of speech/right to gather in a peaceful way". i think that they did it for attention and they got it.

    I am a developer at Microsoft so I know a thing or two about computers. The best porn blocker software is Porn Sites Blocker, it's very light and it's the only porn blocker software with a 100% detection rate. Download the software here: http://www.pornsitesblocker.com/ you have a 60 day free trial. It's a must if you want to protect your family!

    We all know computers can be such a positive tool in our children's lives, but they can also be our children's worst enemy.

    They Don't Realize is that Porn Destroys, see how it destroyed the lives of those who were involved in it in this Video

    By far, the most searched for terms on the internet are related to pornography. Pornography is rampant in the world today. Perhaps more than anything else, Satan has succeeded in twisting and perverting sex. He has taken what is good and right (loving sex between a husband and wife) and replaced it with lust, pornography, adultery, rape, and homosexuality. Pornography can be the first step on a very slippery slope of ever-increasing wickedness and immorality (Romans 6:19). The addictive nature of pornography is well documented. Just as a drug user must consume greater and more powerful quantities of drugs to achieve the same “high,” pornography drags a person deeper and deeper into hard-core sexual addictions and ungodly desires.

    The three main categories of sin are the lust of the flesh, the lust of the eyes, and the pride of life (1 John 2:16). Pornography definitely causes us to lust after flesh, and it is undeniably a lust of the eyes. Pornography definitely does not qualify as one of the things we are to think about, according to Philippians 4:8. Pornography is addictive (1 Corinthians 6:12; 2 Peter 2:19), and destructive (Proverbs 6:25-28; Ezekiel 20:30; Ephesians 4:19). Lusting after other people in our minds, which is the essence of pornography, is offensive to God (Matthew 5:28). When habitual devotion to pornography characterizes a person’s life, it demonstrates the person is not saved (1 Corinthians 6:9).

    For those involved in pornography, God can and will give the victory. Are you involved with pornography and desire freedom from it? Here are some steps to victory: 1) Confess your sin to God (1 John 1:9). 2) Ask God to cleanse, renew, and transform your mind (Romans 12:2). 3) Ask God to fill your mind with Philippians 4:8. 4) Learn to possess your body in holiness (1 Thessalonians 4:3-4). 5) Understand the proper meaning of sex and rely on your spouse alone to meet that need (1 Corinthians 7:1-5). 6) Realize that if you walk in the Spirit, you will not fulfill the lusts of the flesh (Galatians 5:16). 7) Take practical steps to reduce your exposure to graphic images. Install pornography blockers on your computer, limit television and video usage, and find another Christian who will pray for you and help keep you accountable.

    Sounds like the porn move was meant to be an insult to piss off the public as well as a means of getting attention. I mean, I'm with you, why hand out porn, why not hand out a book about Einstein? This event shows you that many Atheists are just out to piss people off and not really interested in engaging in any meaningful interactions.

    Wow, I'm an Athiest, and even though I don't believe in the bible what so ever, I do believe it is a big part of human history one way or another.

    In a way they would be insulting themselves, not to mention I find their actions in trading bibles for porn is a poisonous gesture to our society--they're essentially saying pornography and magazines with sexually oriented content is better than one of the most controversial and mentally/emotionally challenging works of literature of all time.

    What a crime, it's so pitiful and humiliating.

    As an atheist, that sounds like a stupid idea. If they wanted to make a statement, they should have offered to trade Bibles, Quran's, etc. for science or nature books or something. It sounds like a cheap attention-getting stunt. It's not really how the majority of atheists would go about doing something like that. I wouldn't endorse it.

  • Honestly their doing that doesn't sound like it's intended to be entirely serious. And who's going to go for it other than weak theists.

    I suppose educational books are rather expensive to hand out freely. Darn college books alone cost a fortune. I suppose they could have given our science magazines.

    That is beautiful! Do you have a website for them so I can donate to them? Or are you making this up like a lying little troll who can't prove what they say?

    Oh, and why would anyone trade in such a pornographic book for other porn anyway?

    (See Ezekiel 23:18-20)

    It definately sounds like a nutria; they are more related to beavers. In some places they are called coypu, just not here in Texas.
