Bible drawn into Hong Kong sex publication row

HONG KONG (Reuters) - More than 800 Hong Kong residents have called on authorities to reclassify the Bible as "indecent" due to its sexual and violent content, following an uproar over a sex column in a university student journal.

A spokesperson for Hong Kong's Television and Entertainment Licensing authority (TELA) said it had received 838 complaints about the Bible by noon on Wednesday.

The complaints follow the launch of an anonymous Web site -- www.truthbible.net -- which said the holy book "made one tremble" given its sexual and violent content, including rape and incest.

Sex and violence in the good book? Say it ain't so! If the HK authorities do end up classifying the bible as "indecent", then might I suggest this warning sticker:

Now if we could only persuade the Gideon Society to print this little disclaimer in all of their bibles.
