Get your new school Bible on

I’m torn, on the one hand this looks nice and shiny, but on the other, it’s about religion.

As anyone who lived through Sydney’s recent World Youth Day invasion will attest to, god bothering is tiresome. All that happy clappy, inane singing and stampeding hordes of wild eyed pilgrims blocking off half your suburb and turning a 10 minute bus ride into a 90 minute detour from hell gets to you after a day or two, let alone 7.

Well, this little trojan horse of glossy paper and arresting imagery is only going to make the situation worse.

Apparently a huge hit in Sweden, the bibleunlimited concept is to be translated into English. It’s the New Testament, but not as we know it. Described on the official site as: “an oversized full-color, 264-page glossy magazine. It has striking, provocative, contemporary photographs.”

Why you ask? Well its about the kids and their ADD and the interwebs and all that stuff, or as the nice PR man says:

“To introduce today’s audience to a revolutionary Bible, one that encourages dialogue and is culturally relevant, readily accessible”

So go and cop to your watered down biblical text (I’m presume the bits about boring sex, stoning people, hating on fags and all those other Koran-ish bits were deemed culturally irrelevant).

Nice design though. Kudos.
