Print and stick fun, Biblical edition

So my friend Galen was thinking about the case in Cobb County Georgia, where a US District court judge recently ruled against their practice of placing disclaimer stickers on textbooks that contained content on evolution. Those stickers read:

"This textbook contains material on evolution. Evolution is a theory, not a fact, regarding the origin of living things. This material should be approached with an open mind, studied carefully and critically considered."

Though the judge ruled against the disclaimer stickers, this is far from over. In an effort to clarify how incredibly unconstitutional it is to dictate a religious belief in a state-supported and run public school, Galen had the idea of making similar stickers for Bibles. Seems fair, if you ask me. So now, instead of wasting all the time and money in court, the next time this comes up the states can save a lot of hassle by letting the Fundamentalists sticker all the textbooks they want, as long as there's an equal stickering of Bibles.

Just to get things started, I've taken the liberty of making  a sticker for anyone who wants to print them out and do some Bible stickering. Try your hotel drawers, or even your preferred house of worship! It's fun!
