Camouflage Bible Ideal for Combat

We all knew it was just a matter of time before the great unexploited camouflage bible market was tapped, so I’m happy to announce that wait is over.   No combat uniform should go incomplete now that life saving pixel friendly camo detailing is available for these great books.  Those who wish greater versatility in their bible usage however may find the removable Outdoorsman cover a little more to their liking; It will speak to the wild game hunter in you.  Those interested can purchase the item at Big game pro shop which carries the product with the claim that each of their covers are original.  While I don’t doubt it, the selling point does little more than raise concerns about the quality of what I assume must be digitally transferred snapshots.

Special tip thanks to my fantastic immigration lawyer Nathan Waxman, who became the proud owner of one of these bad boys after visiting Walmart this weekend.

Administration note:  I’m on my way to Miami today so I will not be updating the blog until tomorrow.

I really can’t understand the logic behind this. At face value, it certainly has no functional use to camouflage a bible. In the field, even if you did bring your bible with you, it would be in some sort of pack, which hopefully will already be appropriately decorated. It’s not as if there are combat priests out in the middle of the bible that must carry their bibles in plain sight.

So that leaves the idea that it’s decorative, sort of like camouflage pants for kids. This doesn’t seem to fit either. Beyond the obvious contradiction inherent in covering your bible with a sign of war, wouldn’t it feel weird to use something like this in a religious context? Just like you wouldn’t make a Barbey Bible in neon pink with a heart-shaped key-ring put through the spine, it seems like having a GI_Joe bible similarly distracts from the Lord.

All I can think of is that it must be for kids. They see it, it’s new, they want it for some reason, and their parents are too disengaged to argue. But that still doesn’t explain how this made it into actual production.
