There’s a new “Bible”… for atheists. Which, it strikes me, is a contradiction in terms.

Pleased to say that most people enjoyed our April Fool's Joke. Here's a round up of some of the others, secular and otherwise:
Any (good ones!) that we missed?
Thanks so much to all of you who've helped out with the first question we posed for this new resource.
Now we'd love you to help with the second question. If you've heard, or used, a story which helpfully illustrates the biblical answer, please please share it with us:
Can we trust what the Bible says?
All comments massively welcomed, just stick them below…
Engage with 2 Thes 1 v 11-12.
With this in mind, we constantly pray for you, that our God may count you worthy of his calling, and that by his power he may fulfill every good purpose of yours and every act prompted by your faith. We pray this so that the name of our Lord Jesus may be glorified in you, and you in him, according to the grace of our God and the Lord Jesus Christ.
Paul wants Christians to stick at serving God so that God gets the glory He deserves.
LMC Chairman, Richard Coekin, gives three reasons why you should come to the London Men's Convention this year on the 7th May at the Royal Albert Hall.
Please note that this was an April Fools joke. At The Good Book Company, our aim is to produce materials that help Christians to read the Bible for themselves so that they might grow in the knowledge and love of the Lord Jesus Christ. In other words, the very opposite of the approach suggested by the Pre-thumbed Bible.
Although we know that many enjoyed the joke, we are sorry for any offense that was caused to those who are unfamiliar with our resources and underlying principles.
We've not been as excited about a new product for a long time: it's a resource we think many Christians have been waiting for.
If you've ever sat in a Bible study, surrounded by other Christians whose Bibles are more well-worn than yours, and felt embarrassed that yours doesn't have the tattiness, underlined passages and used feel that give an appearance of godliness: you need to get one of our new range of pre-thumbed Bibles.
Each page has been turned for you at least 15 times (40 for the book of Romans): and key passages have been underlined and/or highlighted throughout.
You need never worry about having not read much of the Scriptures again!

Here in the UK, Sunday was census day - filling in the 32-page document cataloguing how our lives have changed since the last one ten years ago. There's been the usual furore about what questions that are and aren't asked. And a campaign by the British Humanist Association to get the non-religious to definitely state that they have no religious affiliation - see here for their reasoning. The government has defended its position on the questions we have been asked – and they’re in charge, so they had the last say.
Skip back 2000 years, to a different government. The rulers of the Roman Empire would have scoffed at the idea that they were being controlled by someone else. It was their idea to take a census - decreed by Caesar Augustus himself (Luke 2 v 1). They were in charge.
Or were they?
But you, Bethlehem Ephrathah, though you are small among the clans of Judah, out of you will come for me one who will be ruler over Israel…
(Micah 5 v 2)
The Lord had decreed that the Messiah would come from Bethlehem - over 700 years previously - and so the mighty Romans meekly did His bidding.
