Will You Trade “Eternal Sin” for Free DVD?

The Rational Response Squad is giving away 1001 DVDs of The God Who Wasn't There, the hit documentary that the LA Times calls "provocative — to put it mildly." There's only one catch: You have to commit what some non-liberal Christians consider as eternal sin, blaspheming the "Holy Spirit".

So let's begin with some Bible thumping:

In Luke 12:10, Jesus says: "And everyone who speaks a word against the Son of Man will be forgiven, but anyone who blasphemes against the Holy Spirit will not be forgiven."

In Mark 3:29, he is quoted again: "But whoever blasphemes against the Holy Spirit will never be forgiven; he is guilty of an eternal sin."

And again in Matthew 12:31: "And so I tell you, every sin and blasphemy will be forgiven men, but the blasphemy against the Spirit will not be forgiven."

Now that you know all you have to do is to record a short message stating at least "I deny the Holy Spirit." somewhere in the message, and upload it to YouTube. The Rational Response Squad will send you a free The God Who Wasn't There DVD. It's that easy.
