Any Catholics here will know why that's such a bad idea. hopefully they had some coloring books of Lot's daughters getting him drunk two nights in a row so he would impregnate them by date raping him in the cave they were hiding in after escaping sodom and gomorrah double up on the flesh tone crayons

Even our adult coloring books are getting preachy., One of my coworkers actually complained that all the ones she saw in the racks by the checkout line talked about Zen or Buddhism and that "wasn't Christian."

My mom likes adult colouring books. She colours them with dollar store markers though. As a comic colourist, I can see why they're popular.

Even our adult coloring books are getting preachy., I think it's the same reason board games are big among Christians too; It's viewed as more "wholesome" than other hobbies that involve the corrupting touch of vile technology.

Trying to defend these things as just another hobby or semi-passive activity is bullshit and you know it and nobody is falling for it. These things are for people with no creativity or drive to develop a skill to have something they can pretend makes them artistic.

If colouring between the lines lets someone zone out and relax after a hard days work, then what's the problem? Does it really matter that the people who use them aren't creative? ChickenHeart posted:I kinda wanna try the Alien and Giger-themed coloring book, though everything would be filled in with varying tones of black and grey I saw a Walking Dead one the other day and thing it would be fun to just add blood splatters everywhere. Though I'd also be tempted to just scan the pages and colour them all digitally. Nessa fucked around with this message at 21:22 on Aug 17, 2016 |

Coloring books are used in mental hospitals to settle distressed patients. That's where they are getting their "benefits" from.

earlier this year my work made me go to a conference for web developers that made sure we had adult coloring books on the tables at all times. the CEO was a hipster guy who kept saying "please, feel free to color while we're giving our presentations. it's highly encouraged at our office, we have coloring time, tea time - or if you feel like leaving a presentation and heading to the game room to challenge one of our devs at Smash Bros. go right ahead." the whole thing was loving embarassing and the company is out of business now

Since she didn't have health insurance (and I had no intention of marrying her to put her on mine), my crazy ex would get loaded on marijuanas and color in some pages when whatever was wrong with her was in full swing. I think the weeds helped more than the coloring. This is my coloring book anecdote.
