    About thirty years ago, Georgia passed a law that would have made it illegal to display the Bible where children could see it.

    When books are banned, only outlaws will have books… hollowed out, with guns inside.

    Don’t forget William Tyndale, who was executed as a heretic for translating the bible into English.

    Edcole, a LOT of the martyrs were killed in terrible gruesome ways. We actually had to read selections from Foxe’s Book of Martyrs. The anniversary of Tyndale’s arrest is actually this coming Tuesday.

    And as an evangelical Christian, I’ll be the first to admit there are some sections of the Bible that there are no Sunday School coloring pages for.

    Though I can’t recall finding a Bible with graphic pictures, with the exception perhaps of the crucifixion itself.

    Jukeofurl, funny! Very! I like your style!

    This is banned book week.Sex, violence, and political incorrectness. The kids would never learn this on the streets.

    If you think the bible is salacious and violent, read the book of mormon sometime. Parts of it make the fight of the kilkenny cats look tame by comparison.

    this could be one of those x-rated passages:

    Ezekiel 23:20

    20 There she lusted after her lovers, whose genitals were like those of donkeys and whose emission was like that of horses.

    Wow! Is that the Jenna Jamison version? Instead of the King James version… (cough, cough) (crickets chirping)

    Thanks! What a great audience!

    nighthawks, that passage you quoted is about two sisters who went a-whoring in Egypt. Possibly a parable of the Northern and Southern kingdoms of Israel. I haven’t read all of the passage in context. Just the chapter you mentioned.

    Ever read Song of Solomon? My hubby wasn’t allowed to until he was like 15. Prudish Midwestern upbringing, you know. Quite the steamy love story in there.

    I may be a Christian, but I’m no prude. :)

    Susan001: Yes, Arguably more per page than in the Old Testament, but a lot less sex and violence.

    The words in the New Testament are a lot more dangerous to some people, as well. “Love your neighbor as yourself,” “give him your cloak, too,” “whatsoever you do to the least of My brethren you do to Me,” dangerous revolutionary nonsense that.

    Interestingly, the Bible is one of the most banned books worldwide. Try taking one into Saudi Arabia. It will get confiscated at customs. Most Islamic and Communist countries outlaw it, or at least only allow certain people to have one. Even in the “Land of the Free” we cannot have it in the schools, even though it is the influence for much of Western literature.

    The Ezekiel passage is from the New International version. The classic King James is a little more subdued:

    “For she doted upon their paramours, whose flesh is as the flesh of asses, and whose issue is like the issue of horses.”
