New Jap Outrage: Manga Bible!!
 
Well, the sneaky japs have come up with another attack on America. A new "Bible" made into a gook comic book is sure to lead countless young children (and adult geeks) into a life of sin. :angry:

New 'Manga' Bible Casts Jesus as Ultimate Superhero

Superman may have been able to leap tall buildings in a single bound, but for Christians, Jesus has always been the ultimate superhero.

After all, they say, only Jesus was able to bring salvation to the world through, of all things, his demise.

So maybe it's no surprise that the comic book industry has decided to once again co-opt Jesus, this time "Manga" style in the tradition of Japanese comics that developed after World War II.

The recently released "Manga Bible" claims to be the "first ever Manga adaptation of the world's bestselling book." Illustrated by British-born Nigerian illustrator Ajibayo Akinsiku (otherwise known as Siku) and written by Akin Akinsiku, the books aims to capitalize on the Manga mania that has infiltrated America.

According to a recent article in Wired magazine, sales of Manga comics have tripled in the United States.

Last year, Tyndale House published the "Manga Messiah," as well as its own version of the "Manga Bible" that spans more than 1,000 pages and includes the entire text of the New Living Translation Bible.

Siku's edition of the Bible, however, is just over 200 pages and freely uses the vernacular. In one panel, for example, the prodigal son leaves his father with the words, "See ya! Don't wait up." In the next panel, he's surrounded by women and booze.

To fans, Manga is an instantly recognizable art form characterized by sharp lines etched in black and white. Characters typically have large, intense eyes and small mouths, and many scenes have a high-energy, wind-swept feel to them.

"The Manga Bible" spends most of its time (136 pages) in the Old Testament, where the epic battles and colorful characters make for dramatic drawings. The Gospels span about 40 pages, while the mostly theological letters of the New Testament come and go in less than a dozen pages.

Siku says part of the reason he joined the project is because he believes it's a valid way of communicating to a new generation. He has called the work "a fresh 'non-religious' take on Christ."

But Siku also admits that trying to convey the message of the Bible in such a compressed format was a challenge, especially when the Gospels sometimes contain conflicting stories about Jesus.

Rather than get sidetracked by the inconsistencies, Siku says, he concentrated on the message of the books, and tried to describe the events in an order that makes sense.

"We strung the whole biblical narrative as a continuous story so that the 'book-by-book' division you may have seen in other projects is absent," Siku said.

Christopher Sharrett, a professor of communication and film studies at Seton Hall University, says that although comic-style Bible stories are not necessarily new, what may surprise some is the association of the Bible with Manga -- an art form typically connected with violence or erotica.

"The term Manga Bible seems somewhat incongruous," Sharrett said.

"In very conservative parts of the country ... it might be a touchy issue."
A nigra born in England made a chink comic Bible that's only 200 pages? That might take first prize in satan's "worst possible blasphemy" contest. :angry:

I see you guys use the word "Jap" a lot. Does this bunch of holy Christians appear to be racist?

We do not tolerate racism in our Church.

What do you know about Christianity?

We should start running sweepstakes on how long it'll be before idiotic false "christians" start showing up and telling us "Jesus wasn't white, he was a slant-eyed yellow nip. It says so in my chink comic bible." :thumbdown:

EDITED TO ADD:
Dear Lord, I only just noticed this blasphemy.

No doubt, this blasphemy-crazed negro will have depicted Jesus as constantly spewing nigra jive talk, eating KFC and sucking on 40s. Since he's also English, he'll probably make it a 40oz. of tea as well, which makes it even worse. He'll probably have re-written John 14:6 as "Jesus saith unto him 'C**t b***h, c**t b***h m****rf****r!'"

I don't know. I think it could be a good witnessing tool for those who don't really understand old English.

I honestly doubt God wants anyone who cannot speak English mixed in with his chosen.

Holy COW! What's next, the HipHop Smackdown Bible? The Andy Warhol Bible, consisting of the words "ketchup lime green Marilyn soup can" repeated 50,000 times?

Look at this blasphemous representation of the patriarch Moses with a split skirt revealing his sexually suggestive thigh practically all the way up to his privy member:

http://i270.photobucket.com/albums/j...anga_bible.jpg

I am disgusted. Outraged. This cheapens the Lord immeasurably and gives atheists endless ammunition for mocking Christians and Christianity. I can just hear them now: "Oh yeah, the COMIC-BOOK religion! Doesn't it have something to do with the resurrection of Pikachu? HAW HAW HAW!"

Mocking bastards.

How that they told you there should be mockers in the last time, who should walk after their own ungodly lusts. Jude 1:18

Containing both the full TNIV text of the Bible plus the entire Manga adaptation, this is the most Extreme version of the Bible yet!


I agree that taking the worst of the blasphemous false translations and illustrating it with manga porn is pretty extreme, even for the forces of Satan.

We need a full KJV illustrated by Duncan Long, pronto!

He loves the Lord, and has accepted Him into his heart, so wouldn't that make him a True Christian? (To me, he is)

Your question doesn't make a lick of sense.

Jesus and God are one and the same. Are you claiming that the One who created the universe can't speak simple English? :wacko:

I leave for a couple of months to tend to an elderly relative(she made it to Heaven finally! Praise Jesus!) and this is what I return to? What does the Godless island Hellhole of Japan know about Christ Almighty? They sure weren't thinking about Jesus when they bombed His favorite vacation spot in 1941 now were they? Incense burning yellow Devils mocking Gods Son who happens to also BE God! Outrageous.
The next thing you know they will be attempting to seduce our youth with their weird looking women.

As for the Holocaust comics, maybe it's about time the Jews learned to laugh at themselves for a change rather than laughing at everyone else.

Too late. There's been a weird looking Jap woman on our boards attempting to seduce our youth for quite some time now. I think she's called Shetosha or something.
