Manga Bible to Hit Shelves in September

There are many weird things out there, like pizza with spaghetti topping or movies about killer tomatos. In the comic book world I'd guess that the weirdest thing to date is "Loaded Bible" or "Swing with Scooter." Now, Tyndale House Publishers takes the cup with their newest project, coming this fall: The Manga Bible!

Source, picture and further info

Now if that isn't the weirdest thing I've ever read. Of course, it's only logical to make a manga bible to have the Word spread out to more people, but the concept alone sounds so outlandish, it hurts. Besides, I kind of feel like this is a PR-thing and not really something they want to do out of faith. But that's just what my gut tells me.

*points gun to head*

I've seen it all now. Fu*k everybody.

*BLAM!*

**GK Punk** · 08-26-2007, 03:04 PM

This is the dumbest thing I've ever heard. What's so wrong with the normal bible?

*ZariusTwo* · 08-26-2007, 03:07 PM

The appauling lack of Hentai for Adam and Eve for one thing.

**GK Punk** · 08-26-2007, 03:09 PM

I lol'd

**Jo Dawn** · 08-26-2007, 03:09 PM

Agreed. Dumbest. Thing. Ever.

It's for the Christian Jap lovers AMIRITE?!

*Mecha Cow* · 08-26-2007, 03:45 PM

Absolutely retarded. What is the target audience for this anyway?

Soon the fangirls will be putting Cain/Moses slash art up on DeviantArt and writing erotic fanfiction about them.

I reported this over at Forever Geek yesterday, along with my shocking revelation as to Manga Jesus' true identity.

*KROW* · 08-26-2007, 04:34 PM

...

I can see the action lines now as the nails are driven into Jesus' hands and feet. Oy.

*Raph's Girl* · 08-26-2007, 06:14 PM

Manga Bible??? Eh why not... Bible's already been translated into Klingon and there's the Bible done in Lego people webcomic (which I actually love cuz it shows how fraked up the Bible truly is).

But a Manga? Well maybe it'll show that Cain ended up with one of his sisters?

Seriously tho...anybody read Chronicles of Wormwood?? Jesus has brain damage and all the Pope does is frak with nuns.

*Hannah* · 08-26-2007, 06:28 PM

I don't see why you're all getting upset about this. What's the problem?

愛 · 08-26-2007, 06:29 PM

I'm surprised you're not upset about this, Hannah. Don't you hate religion?

*Kendamu* · 08-26-2007, 06:29 PM

I have a friend who would probably really get into this. I'll have to tell him about it next time I'm on the phone with him. It's the ultimate geek/religion mix for his geeky religious self!

Eh, that was when I was a douchebag.

It sounds pretty funny to me! I hope my comic shop carries it, so I can take a peek when it comes out.

I don't believe the sincerity of it. It feels like a way to make a quick buck using something that is currently a fad. It feels as sincere as if they did Transformers Bible.

...for the love of all things good and pure, why is such a vile thing even created? *picks up a knife and walks on over to the emo corner*
