SAN ANTONIO, TX - It's part of a campaign called 'Smut for Smut' sponsored by the student group, 'Atheist Agenda.'
"We are comparing their religious text to pornography.." says group member Carlos Morales.
Collecting more than just the bible, this group accepts anything containing religious text. In return, students ages 18 or older receive pornography.
Atheist Agenda leaders say porn is no worse than what's written in some parts of religious texts.
"I don't understand how that equals at all..to the word of God..they're definitely opposites..." says Monica Coronado, a University of Texas - San Antonio freshman.
Coronado is one of the many students joining hands, denouncing the group's message. "Honestly God isn't just about killing people..he's about really righteousness..I just wanted to explain.."
The debate spurs plenty of emotion from both sides, but some students took a different approach, supporting neither side, saying the debate accomplished nothing.
"They're going up against each other and what they stand for ...what they believe in, is okay..but what they're doing today is something that fosters hatred." said Natalie Tenorio, who remains neutral.
According to a University spokesman, what the atheist groups' believe may not represent the majority of the student body. What they are doing is legal.
"As long as students are not violating laws or violating the Constitution, they have the freedom of speech and assembly." said David Gabler, Vice President of UTSA Communications.
