Sentence from a holy book - DPChallenge Forums

02/16/2012 01:26:43 PM · #1

Choose any holy book of some major religion (list below), create image that describe only that sentence.
Your title should be only the reference (book name, chapter, number etc..) without the sentence itself.
I think that expert / advanced editing will be great here.

Major religions list (according to wikipedia)
Christianity
Islam
Nonreligious/agnostic/atheism ("Thus Spoke Zarathustra" by Friedrich Nietzsche will fit, right?)
Hinduism
Chinese traditional religion
Buddhism
Animist religions
African Anglicanism/diasporic religions
Sikhism
Juche
Spiritism
Judaism
Baha'i
Jainism
Shinto
Cao Dai
Zoroastrianism
Tenrikyo
Neo-Paganism
Unitarian Universalism
Rastafari Movement
(may god help me if I forgot something ;) )

What about â��Black Hole Physics: Basic Concepts and New Developmentsâ�� for us atheists ;-)

Seriously, this could be an interesting challenge but would prefer Advanced Editing due to my limited processing ability and imagination.

I like the idea, but wonder if it could get touchy. Religion is a sensitive matter for many.

I dunno. The Supreme Court ruled atheism isn't a religion... (I'm totally having fun here)

This could be accompanied by a challenge, "Any Sentence from a Fairy Tale"

I think that this can be an opportunity to take a very short glance at other worlds, to see one point from other beliefs.
I personally don't consider myself religious, but this experiance can be nice.

Lord of the Rings deserve a challenge of its own! ;) (+ LODR is a true story, so it doesn't fit in)

Really? Oh dear, no tax exemption for us (only joking too â�� lets not start something here).

I really feel that people here can have fun with the various scriptures without being prejudice or insulting. I say lets do it.

I think we're playing with fire. I've never been over in Rant, but I hear it gets crazy over the smallest things.

Silence is agreement. I don't agree with religion, and so cannot remain silent. That's my opinion. Try not to be a hypocrite, and while you're at it, get the fuck off my doorbell with your damn bible.

I just think this invites the hardliners on both sides of the religion/atheism debate to create material that is offensive to someone, leaving the moderate folks to just stand there and shake their heads. I bet the admins would never go for it, and for that I'm thankful.
