Bible Could Become Obscene in Hong Kong

Hundreds of Hong Kong residents are asking authorities to classify the Bible as "indecent," according to Reuters. After many years of few people actually reading the book, it seems that someone started a Chinese-language site called truthbible.com that discusses how disturbing the sex and violence are. I guess murder, dismemberment, rape, and incest aren't considered appropriate for under-age audiences. If the government reclassified the Bible as indecent, you'd have to be 18 to get a copy. Have a doubt? Think of all the "begat" sections. How do you think all those generations of children came into the world, anyhow?
