Group recalls pink Bibles being sold to fight cancer

Pulled my kids out of the Baptist church when they convinced my teenagers to break all non christian cds.

Well just goes to prove that these organizations don't let God do the judging.

Um... Planned Parenthood does breast exams ANY time you request one... also it is automatically added to a yearly screening and PAP. Really? OMG... Yes, I said God along with Planned Parenthood... Seriously people, could you possibly pick a worse organization to pick on? Planned Parenthood is doing a wonderful service, especially to those that cannot afford mainstream healthcare. They're not all about birth control... that just happens to be one of their services...

Oh good grief... "pro-life" indeed. "Here, die of cancer because we hate women and women's health." These people love the hell out of fetuses but hate living, existing humans with a blinding and curious fury. If god exists, they are as disgusted with these worthless rejects as I am.

Planned Parenthood is not just about abortion it is about prevention. It is these type of "holier than though" Christians that are to blame for the rampant taboo on sexuality and birth control in America. If people were getting the RIGHT education, then there would not be so many unplanned pregnancies in America. This church's decision is infantile and moralistic.

If gays and lesbian Christians start to sport it for the cover, will it still be printed?Who had pink first?

Planned Parenhood is a service that provides women so much more.This "bible" looks more like an advertisment.Has the wording in this "bible" been changed to protect the innocent?What is their new testament?

Who wants to buy a pink bible if only $1 of it goes to fighting cancer? I'd rather donate $5 and get a silly plastic bracelet I'll never wear or nothing at all. I'd bet those bible sales helped the church more than they ever did Komen anyway.

this is probably why I detest boxbrand religions... never mind that the funds went to cover expenses related to saving peoples lives... I realize what an abortion clinics does but planned parenthood is not solely about that, in fact they try to discourage it, hand out pamphlets and more, I used planned parenthood more than 20 years ago, they help a lot of women, a lot more than the abortions. Sometimes people should bother to understand each other rather than just use each other... it's not our place on earth to judge each other except by the laws of the land. What is final is God's judgement, stop playing God and let each other be... live your life and let others live theirs. For a church to pull funds from an organization like the Susan G Komen foundation without bothering to understand the whole picture is nothing more than hypocrisy... in other words religion. I'd be asking, what would Jesus do... I'll bet anything he would not hurt more lives.

Baptists are violent TERRORISTS who deserve a violent end! They are NO DIFFERENT than Al Queda.They belong in mass graves for their crimes against free Americans!Buy lots of guns and ammo America and rid this nation of all fascist religious #$%$I don't have a freedom of religion and those who took my freedom will have a target painted on their left eyeball if they ever cross me or my children again! (The wages of their sins WILL be death!)

Lifeway donated O.N.E. D.O.L.L.A.R. per sale of the proceeds, because, of course, when it comes to god(s) curing cancer his damned self, ahhh, he works in mysterious ways.
Komen Foundation has their own problems, lets just say that out of that dollar, a nickle might have seen the light of day when it comes to cancer research.
I see below someone mentioned box-brand religion. Unless you are following Matt 6: 5, 6, it is all box-brand. Keep your religion to yourself or else you are grandstanding.

When I learned that SGK uses approximately ONE MILLION dollars a YEAR to shut down small fund raisers that use the phrase "for the cure" they stopped getting my donations... i will give locally,but not to the national organization!

So what if the Susan G Koman for the cure foundation was giving some of the money to Planned parenthood, they do after all also do testing like mammograms ect. to test for breast cancer, and after all, isn't that what the whole thing is about, prevention and cure for breast cancer. Just because they also do abortions, doesn't mean that that praticular (sp) money wasn't spent only on breast cancer prevention and treatment. Get a life, God would not be so judgemental, he'd at least find out the facts first, but oh, he already knows. Don't stop something good just because funding is going to a place you don't like, even though they are doing the very thing the raising of funds is for.

Wow. If these replies are from Christian people, this whole world is doomed. I've been reading the New King James Bible, specifically the words of Jesus, and the things He said look nothing like the beliefs of the people who claim to be His followers. These posts are an example. I stopped following Christianity and going to church because of the hate and judgement and division that is constantly preached. I know many people don't understand that because they fail to use any critical thinking skills. They get in their feelings and close their minds and hearts because it is easier to be angry and hateful. Plus, it's all about money anymore. That is the true god of this society. People will tear each other apart and die for the dollar, but when it comes to God and truly loving each other, there is silence. I strive to follow Jesus and anything or anyone that says to hate or judge is a false religion.

If companies want to support a cancer group or most any good cause the best way is to have the group sell the product in this case Susan G. Komen pink Bibles the sales will go to the SGK Foundation or other chosen group.

I've been going to planned parenthood for years because I can't afford to pay the prices that everywhere else is asking. I have gotten my birth control from them for 13 years. Never in that time have they ever pushed abortion when I've been there. That isn't what they are about. It is a woman's decision whether they want to keep a baby or not. No one has a right to tell us what we can and can't do with our bodies. I believe that it is better to abort a child then to raise it in a poverty stricken home with drug addicts for parents and no one to love them or to foster parents that abuse them for the pay check. Planned parenthood offers so many services other then abortion that people should be helping them not hindering them.

The church now days is not about saving the soul. It's all about the money. How much can we make tax free this year. I forget which t v evangelist it was, I seen one night on television. But he was telling if you can't send me a $1,000.00 today. Send me $500.00 this week and then send me the other $500.00 next week. The church is one the biggest frauds in the world. It is so full of the bigots and zealots. They do not help anyone unless it can help it's self first. Jesus said “Thou with out sin cast the first stone!” And I see an awe full lot of stone throwing going on. So there must be a lot of perfect people in the church. Or there's an awe full lot of wolves in sheep's clothing sitting in the church pews and pulpits.
What did Jesus say about hypocrisy and hypocrites?
By far, of all preachers and prophets of the Bible, Jesus had the most to say about hypocrisy and hypocrites. Since He didn't mince any words on the subject, but directly confronted the religious hypocrites of His day (the scribes and Pharisees), they hated Him intensely - eventually having Him arrested on trumped up charges. Here is a list of some of the hypocrisy that Jesus spoke against:
Giving to the poor to be recognized by others
Praying in public to be recognized as "God's man"
Letting everybody know you are fasting to get recognition by others
Complaining about others behavior when yours is even worse.
Pretending to honor God through lip service only
Testing other people to try to make yourself look superior
Deceiving people from knowing God
Repressing the poor and widows
Teaching proselytes to be hypocrites
Tithing (giving to the church), but neglecting justice and mercy
Doing everything for show, while really being self-indulgent and unrighteous
Treating stock animals better than fellow human beings
Being able to analyze the weather, but unable to distinguish between right and wrong
I think they fall in somewhere on this list. Along with about 95% of the rest of the churches today. And yes I believe in GOD!

I don't want to live on this planet anymore.

For all those folks that think planned parenthood is only about abortions ... find out for yourself, instead of listening to stupid politicians. Abortions are only 3% of the services they provide to help women. It's like saying don't go to a hospital to have your heart fixed for the moral reason they might have terminated a baby there.

As a Christian I find this knee jerk reaction dumb. "The sign might as well read, 'Buy a Bible and support abortion!' " all funds from the Bible sales would go toward breast cancer programs.Komen has confirmed that some of its funds go to Planned Parenthood to pay for 139,000 breast cancer screenings and 5,000 mammograms. The group's website said the screenings led to 177 cancer discoveries over the past five years. Susan Tyrrell of the Bound4Life blog is causing more harm than good. Susan Tyrrell needs to reevaluate her convictions and how they align with the teachings of Jesus Christ. I am a Christian but I have enough God given sense and am willing to exercise that sense. I do not support abortion. I support breast cancer awareness and saving peoples lives. This lady is a negative representative of the christian faith.
