Warning Label: Attatch to All Bibles
Given the attempts by Christian fundamentalists to attach warning labels to school books which deal with biology, Bob Park (What's New: Friday, Jan 28, 2005) suggests that all Bibles should be similarly labeled:
“This book contains religious stories regarding the origin of living things. The stories are theories, not facts. They are unproven, unprovable and in some cases totally impossible. This material should be approached with an open mind, and a critical eye towards logic and believability.”

Amen, Brother.
For a very modest price, one can buy vivid yellow-and-black Bible stickers from the Freedom From Religion Foundation (www.ffrf.org or PO Box 750, Madison, WI 53701). They read, "Warning! Literal belief in this book may endanger your health and life!"
Whenever I go on a trip I take some along and paste them in the ubiquitous hotel bibles.
