To promote breast cancer awareness, supporters buy pink shirts, pink shoes, pink mouse pads and a host of other pink products. Until Wednesday, there was even a pink version of the Holman Christian Standard Bible on store shelves. That’s no longer the case.

Southern Baptist-owned LifeWay Christian Resources is recalling its pink Bible because it benefited a charity with ties to Planned Parenthood. The “Here’s Hope Breast Cancer Bible” was sold at Walmart stores and other major retailers, with a dollar per copy going to the Dallas-based Susan G. Komen for the Cure Foundation.

LifeWay decided to recall the Bible after receiving complaints that some of the breast cancer charity’s local affiliates donated funds to Planned Parenthood. Thomas Rainer, president of LifeWay, called the project a mistake.

[font color=blue] - Right. Because we can't have those breast cancer survivors getting abortions. It's better to just let them die. Jesus would have wanted it that way.

Well, I'm sure this will help change the Southern Baptist's lousy reputation. For the life of me, I don't know why these people are losing customers.......[/font]

1. Fucking idiots.

PP isn't just an abortion mill, as they fantasize.
PP provides HEALTH CARE for women who would
not be able to have it with out PP.

Dumb Asses....
I'm so sick of the ignorant people in this country
who call themselves "Christians."

May they burn in HELL for their hatred of women.

2. Yeah.....

...you'd think they'd want to crack open one of those pink bibles every once and a while and read some of the stuff inside.

- You know, the parts about loving one's neighbors and not standing in judgement of others???

3. I've got some fundie in laws...complete hypocrites.

It's sad that people like them give Christianity a bad name.
I have known some true Christians, very few mind you, but
they do exist. It's a shame that the dumb asses pretending to live
by the teachings of Christ are always in the news.

4. I often wonder why we are at war with the Taliban.

You'd think the fundies and the Taliban would make natural allies since they both have such a hatred of women. I don't get it.

5. Perhaps because the Taliban are "BROWN" people?

All the evangelical mega churches are populated mostly
by fat, white duh'murikkkans.
Seldom see people of color in the audience.

7. True. True. Not a lot of diversity in that crowd.

Maybe they use Ron Burgundy's definition of diversity - "Why I believe it's a very very old wooden ship from the civil war era."

6. Check out their web site- disgusting corporate x-tians.

8. There's one by my work - I never see anyone enter or exit that store.

Like ever and it's been open like 8+ years.

9. Probably because they use the back door- to rent porn.

Hypocrites.
