Utah school district considers Bible ban under new 'sensitive materials' law

[pellinore]

The problem is, if you remove the porn and graphic violence from the Bible, there isn't much left.

A school district in Utah may ban the Holy Bible after a parent complained that it contained "inappropriate and pornographic" material forced it to face committee review.

On Dec. 11, the David School District received a petition from a parent to have the Bible removed from schools for being what the parent considered a "sex-ridden" book. The petition of the parent requesting review of the Bible was made available on Tuesday with the parent’s name and address withheld. 

"Utah Parents United left off one of the most sex-ridden books around: The Bible. You’ll no doubt find that the Bible has ‘no serious values for minors’ because it’s pornographic by our new definition," the petition read.

Smart money says that the Bible will survive committee review.

That’s not true. 
There’s also some fishing and people wisely telling tax collectors to **** off.

It's a lot like alcohol in that respect. Alcohol is so potent and destructive a drug many argue it would not be allowed on sale if it was formulated today.

If you tried to publish the Bible today, its celebration of genocide, incense, human sacrifices, torture and blind obedience would mean it would probably be banned. It certainly wouldn't be allowed in schools.
