In what may the most ridiculous move in recent times, Hong Kong authorities are being asked to classify the Bible as "indecent" because of sections with violent and sexual content. Apparently, the move is part of a public protest over the banning of a recent student magazine which ran a feature about incest. If the Bible were to be thusly classified, only adults would be allowed to buy the book and it would be sold wrapped in a solid cover with a large government warning on the cover.
Let's be clear. The Bible does include sections which discuss incest, murder, adultery, rape, and many other horrific acts. But it discusses them as history and condemns them. This may be simply be a political maneuver of protesters, but let's not allow things to get out of hand and deny the religious freedom of millions.
