Via relapsed catholic is this story<\/a> about the Bible clutch<\/p>\n

New York designer Femme Sud, maker of the new leather Bible clutch, has found that coveting thy neighbor’s handbag isn’t always a bad thing — especially when said handbag sells for $495.<\/p>\n

Each book-shaped Bible bag is nearly twice the size of a standard-issue Gideon Good Book and comes with vamp-red lipstick and a coin purse that says “Pennies from Heaven,” the New York Post reports.<\/p>\n

But why sport a fashion statement of biblical proportions?<\/p>\n

Apparently, it’s a sure-fire way to attract attention from the opposite sex.<\/p>\n

"I went out in Houston with a friend and was carrying my Bible bag," said Robin Goetz, who co-designed the pious purses with Joanna Lipman. "We couldn’t even have a conversation because every two minutes another guy would come over to ask about it."<\/p>\n

…"Bible-shaped handbags are nothing more than a cheap way for Christian zealots to shove their religion down the throat of agnostics and atheists. Which is why the Catholic League loves them. Our advice to ACLU attorneys — don’t leave home without one,” Catholic League chief William Donohue said.

Well I guess if your a fashion fundamentalist with close to 500 bucks to spare and want a purse<\/a> to thump this might be cool. Some have said the religion and the Bible is used as a crutch, well know it is used also as a clutch. Exactly what shoes go with Bible clutch? Well sandals make the most sense, especially if they have a non-stick coating to easily brush the dust off as you leave a town that has rejected the Gospel.<\/p>\n

Though the inside cover is not exactly pious<\/a>.<\/p>\n
