Christian group to save Haitians with solar-powered Bibles

This is how the Ayatollah Khomeini brought the uneducated and illiterates of Iran to make him the ruler of Iran after the revolution.

He sent out cassettes with his preaches that told people that they do not have to work and if he is ruler they will get checks from the Iranian oil industry every month.

Creepy.

Isn't Haiti already a Christian-majority country? I don't get why they're doing this.

Yea these people have had their homes devistated by a massive earthquake, they have no access to clean water, food or other necissitys of life but hey rather than send them things they could use let's send them some preaching radios

They need food, shelter & health care right now! Not robot bibles!

all you people taking advantage of an entire devastated people to recruit them into your particular cult are absolutely NO BETTER than Al-Queda building extremist schools in remote areas of Pakistan, etc., in order to "train" young minds. Im talking Scientologists, Christians, Jews, Buhddists. I dont care who you are or what team you are backing, you might as well be aiming those airplanes at the towers yourself.

The image in this article is not a solar-powered anything. It has a fold-way crank and no solar cells. It's a crank-powered media player for cranks by cranks.

I'll say it again -- bashing christianity on a post about scientologists is a non sequitor.
Scientology is not Christian, it is a new age cult!

Kinda slams the Hatians, by implying that they are not educated enough to be able to read the bible, doesn't it?

Maybe they can burn them for fuel? That is all I can think of that would make this retarded 'gift' be useful.
WWJD? He'd take these things and turn them into loaves and fishes... barring that he'd pick them up and throw them back from where they came- the depths of Ignorant Hell.

Will thye hear the voice of Pat Robertson?

"Beware of practicing your righteousness before men to be noticed by them; otherwise you have no reward with your Father who is in heaven. (Matthew 6:1)

i can see how the church group that had these things thought this a great idea. they must be thunderstruck by this kind of backlash. it was a lame idea but the soul of the gesture was good. these christans are doing something out of love and thats what krishna will notice.

This reminds me that Hawaiians were simple happy people who, because of their climate wore few cloths if any, until the Christian Missionaries with their bibles showed up and taught them to be ashamed of their bodies. Another one of their contributions to a society in need.

Slarabee common sense and religion, that called a dichotomy = two opposed subclasses

Wait, I have it! What the Christians are trying to do is send Haitians devices that they can take apart and jerry rig into fully functional solar panels that will provide areas of Haiti that need power with electricity. The reason why Christians are doing this in such a round about way is because their faith demands that they be humble, so rather than look like they're making a fairly significant contribution, they are looking like a bunch of asses who care more about converting others to their faith BEFORE helping them!

That or these particular Christians are a bunch of asses who care more about converting others to their faith before actually helping them.

This is exactly what they need. I didn't realize it until now.. no they don't need food, no they don't need water, no they don't need shelter. But it wasn't until this second that I realized that what they DO need is.. four words.. Solar. Powered. Audio. Bible. This is absolutely brilliant and will probably solve all their problems immediately.

and I bet that only cost a couple hundred thousand for the non-christian, starving, shelterless haitians to recieve those a week after all hope has been lost. now if they could only find a way to use solar power for a useful cause.....

Please don't call scientology a christian group.
It's a cult.

A solar powered Bible kind of sends the message that "God only loves you when the sun is shining."

If you think prayer will fix the world try shooting yourself in the fucking head, that and only that will help the rest of us out.

It is impossible to give explanation to such a natural tragedy, and a way to heal positively is the trust in the light that must be found in the darkness of darkness. Whatever religion, technology, or science that encourages Haiti survivors with positive energy and love, should be accepted in whatever language it may come. Even if it comes in the form of a dog or a cat.
Dont fight religion, technology, science, or anything you believe in with hatred, as you may find yourself becoming part of the destructive insanity that is killing our species.

Si se puede!

religion or even a bible itself can't re plaster a wall or put up roof shingles, i doubt its edible either... if it can i would pay to see it!

Who would like to be the first to volunteer to hand one of these nifty solar powered bibles to a Haitian mother whose kids were recently killed in a collapsed daycare? Fair warning, faithful Christian... you may encounter a roundhouse kick to the face and/or inexorable voodoo curse placed upon you and your family.

Send Sean Hannity to Haiti with a camera crew and have him report on this... pleeease.

witty

Fucking retarded! I laughed so hard at this though... Wow, the arrogance knows no bounds.

Woulr have loved to be in that meeting.

"ok let's put or heads together and think what a country where before the earth quake 80% of the population didn't have access to clean water could posibly need right now. I know I know; water!!! No no -money?!No no. Medicine? No no money?! No no. They already have plenty of those things. No need to send more of that. Let's send something they will surely appreciate while they are dying of thirst. Let's send them a bible!!!!!

Jesus replied, “Anyone who drinks this water will soon become thirsty again. But those who drink the water I give will never be thirsty again. It becomes a fresh, bubbling spring within them, giving them eternal life.”

John 4:13-14

And what makes you think they aren't spiritual? Because they don't bow down to your God? I believe in the teachings of Christ (the true Gnostic teachings denied by the church because they challenged their power and authority) and those teachings are about seeing the divine light in all of us. It is not about being judgmental and arrogant and seeking to diminish the spirit in anyone and control them simply because they don't follow it as you do. Those who warp the words of Christ simply to push their own agenda do not follow the true words of Christ. I am sure many Haitians follow their own faith and take comfort in that faith. It is not up to YOU to deny them that faith, spiritualism or whatever gives them hope. And please, "Born Again Christian? Is that just another term to describe someone who can't take responsibility for their past mistakes?

1. Man wasn't enlightened enough to deserve the Word of God.

2. God uses Humans as an intermediate to written word. That is why it evolves. God uses others to adjust the words written in past until it is was He intended.

3. Not willing to risk my eternal life on it. I was on a path to Hell until i repented and started living by the Word. I've seen where it leads you. but to each their own. But our job is to try help as many people as possible. That is why we use so much resources to help as many people as possible. What is decades or a century (if your lucky) vs. eternal bliss?

God Bless

Haiti needs hope. After youve lost everything, food and water wont be enough, you need something to keep you from becoming hopeless.

Food and water is good. but the spirit is the most important thing to nurture.

those resources could have been spent in a better way then giving them cheap solarpowered walkmans that only play one thing

THIS IS JUST FUCKEN STUPID, EVERY TIME A NATURAL DISASTERS DESTROYS A COUNTRY THAT ALREADY WAS IN POVERTY BUT NOW WORSE, YOU ALWAYS HAVE THESE RELIGIOUS IRRATIONAL MORONS GO TO THE COUNTRY AND TRY TO CONVERT AS MANY AS POSSIBLE THESE GAMES GO BACK AND FORTH FUCK YALL

AND FUCK EVERY RELIGION HOW BOUT HELPING HAITI PEOPLE BECAUSE OH I DONT KNOW THEY ARE PEOPLE AND NOT TRY TO BENEFIT FROM IT FUCKEN DISGUST ME AND IM SICKEN BY THIS WORLD

Leave it to a fundamentalist to bring flip flops to the arctic...

Ok this is an open challenge to the "christians" out there. Just a few questions to 'test your faith'.

1. If Christianity is the Truth and the only Truth then shouldnt Christianity be the worlds first religion? I mean why wait 8000 years after the beginning of civilization to teach humans who their creator is?

2. If the Bible is the word of God then why was it written and rewritten and altered by humans? Look up the Council of Nicaea. Its when HUMANS decided what was "the word of God" and what wasnt.

3. Why is it so hard to believe that religion is a sham? Just take a close look at it. It keeps the poor people poor and elevates certain 'holy' people to a higher position. Churches own more land in the world than ANY company.

You know what, QueenGloria, I'm going to assume that you're some spammer bot trying to make everyone convert to Christianity.

Why do I make such an assumption, you may ask?

Because, judging from what I see written by you, no human would actually lack so much compassion and respect for human dignity to actually write such horrid crap.

That's the dumbest thing I've heard in a hell of a long time!!! & why do you need solar power to power a book? Don't get me wrong, solar is great,but a book is a little less complicated when you don't need a light source to power the damn thing! Books SHOULD have paper pages! & Hell ! Paper burns better too! :) You see, stories like this is why I tend to look at religion as somewhat of an evil joke ! I don't know what's worse,the fact that people push religion on others to the point of global war, or the fact that religious people could come up with something as stupidly useless is a solar bible! Really now???

If Christian want to help they should donate money. My church took up a collection for the Red Cross and we all donated.

CNN has of list of organizations according to what specifically you want your donation to go for.

Peace

Jesus would not send starving people radios.

He would send food and water.

In fact, he did. According to the Bible, that is. It was called "the miracle of the five loaves and two fish"

Wow... They shouldve just given them leather bound bibles. At least those are edible.

Poor Haitians, haven't they been through enough?

I always crack up when a Christian athlete says how he prayed to make the play and does and how god made it happen. What about the guy on the other team that prayed that it didnt happen? WTF?

The majority of you people are idiots.Just because your hollow atheist minds are limited to the things of this life doesn't mean that every other persons mind is.The same people that are here bashing the hope that comes with the belief in a higher power are the same ones that will call out to God on the day that calamity overtakes them.That day the Lord will scoff at your pleas the same way as you scoff at the Grace that is the Word of God today.Don't worry...I'll pray for you.

How bout instead of solar-powered bibles we give them solar-powered houses?
How bout instead of soul food we give them ACTUAL food?

lol religion.

I gave up on that biz a long time ago. Have fun with that.

By the way, because I missed it in the last comment, simply suggesting to a person that they switch religions is an insult on the religion they already have. It presumes that their religion is not good and that they are immoral by choosing to follow it.

And honestly, a lot of Christians do themselves no favors by insisting that the rest of us are going to hell or that we need to be saved or some such rubbish.

Antoine, a personal choice should stay that way. That's all. If they want to be Christians, nothing is stopping them. However, once they try to force that upon others, that's when the rest of us call them out on it.

It's amazing how quickly people rush to bash Christians and harshly criticize the deeply important and personal choice they have made in following Christ. You may not agree with the actions of every Christian in the world, as I do not, but insulting a person's religion, whether Christian, Muslims, or Hindu, is wrong in a thousand ways.

What an insult. Food, water, and basic medical supplies seem like they would be slightly more effective. Just a touch.

Haitians don't need help praying, they are among the most religious people is this hemisphere. Travolta the revolta he is a gross human being. There is no place for this kind of shit there now. John Revolta should get in his Boeing707 and fly down to Haiti and save some people, he can put them up in one of his many mansions.

Can we bring back stake burnings?
