I have an old illustrated children's bible that I had intended to sell, until I realised I would be directly helping to spread and promote religion. This is something I couldn't abide by, especially when directed to children, so I didn't sell it. I couldn't just throw it out though, it needs to be used in some way so I started hatching ideas.
My favourite one was to cut the shape of a gun out of the pages to create a gun shaped void, then use the cut out material to form a model gun, ie exactly what James Hopkins has done here. Dammit!
Original ideas are few and far between so I'm just glad I found this before doing it myself. On to plan B.

Dammit indeed!
I guess you'll have to go back to your plan to carve the 5th amendment out of a gun.
i never thought that you have a soft spot for children..
When you post anonymously is hard for me to reply to your somewhat cryptic speculations about my attitude toward children.
For the record my attitude toward children [in the context of this post] is that they should be left out of their parents views toward religion until they are of age to make their own judgements. There is no such thing as a christian child or a muslim child, they are just the unfortunate labels applied due to their parents [misguided?] views.
I lost your email address few years ago!
Hey Punk, missed your comment somehow. Nice one, took me a few reads though.
Anon, you are still Anon!
correcting my text prediction on my computer, it was meant to read 2nd ammendment. I know nothing about the american constitution, but that is one thing I DO know.
this is kind of intriguing, you know, the whole "who is anonymous" thing. I can't wait to find out.
i kind of agree with what you are saying re the parents should not force the children to follow whatever their beliefs. this is take time for me to digest all of this, i was not born in this country, lucky enough i was born in some exotic island where all the people follow the same religion, and their children instantly have the same religion as their parents. And now i fitted in myself very well in Australia, but sometime it scared me that i am losing my religion...but you can not just erase whatever you've grown up with, it stays forever in your memory.
Hmmm, do I know anyone from Tasmania?
punk..chilex dude..
daniel you find that tasmania exotic? i thought you are globletreckker..mmm
Ouch....
I guess the truth does hurt.
It's called sarcasm, and I imagine there are many people living in cookie cutter tract housing in suburban sprawls who would indeed consider Tassie pretty exotic
My apology, I do not mean to offend anyone, what i mean as exotic was tropical, warm, goddes island kind of thing. I myself have not been to tassie before, and from what I saw on tv, its kind of always cooler from SA.
Alright, I grew up in a country with five religions, my family from dad they are Christian followers,but my dad was a muslim, he grew up with his uncle which was a muslim then he married my mum which (my mum family are muslims followers).. so..we children kind of stuck in the middle. we are get along together but when it comes to perform the religion..he was very strict man, he never allowed us to go to visit granpa and grandma, aunties and uncles,on a chrismast day.
Since I live here in Australia my attitude towards religion kind of mix..i am not sure who I am sometime..
