The Bible is definitely not for kids. Should there be a warning on the cover? What with all the slaughter and cannibalism and incest and everything? Surely the term the "Good Book" is the biggest trading standards swizz of all time.

Simple solution is to just file it under adult fiction.

How about a manga version?

Churches themselves should come with warning signs outside so minors aren't allowed to enter. It might protect a few more 7 year olds asses from Catholic priests

Just for kicks, I looked that up.  Funniest thing I've seen all day.



Jesus is bishōnen!  He has a nice goatee, too.

My personal Bible has several such warnings taped inside the cover. A few choice cartoons, too.

If books came with an official rating scale like movies, then yes. The Bible would have to be for adults only with lines like this: "And their flow of semen appeared to be as much as that of horses."

How ironic- their #1 book would be banned for sexual content if it weren't their #1 book.  :doh:

I would love to own a bookstore just so I could have religious works filed with other fantasy fiction.

And yeah, some sort of mental health warning would be good.  "WARNING: This book has been known to cause hate crimes, wars and persecutions.  If at any point the narrative seems to be plausible, it is recommended that you stop reading immediately."

Somewhere, I remember someone having stickers made up or a stamp that said something like "Caution:  The contents of this book contain incest, rape, and violence, and should not be read by children."  Maybe it said "This Bible....," rather than "This book."  Anyway, they were sticking the warning on a Bible every time they went to a motel.  I thought it was a great idea.
