The X Rated Bible sparks debate on scripture and sex

The American Atheist Center releases The X Rated Bible, a 428 page compilation of the Bible’s explicit passages including incest rape and abortion. Jon Garth Murray argues proponents of banning explicit material must address these verses. Critics say the Bible treats such acts as evil, while the book argues they reveal comparable themes in scripture. The book, compiled by Edward Ackerley, is mail-order only as major distributors refuse it. One entry recounts David and Jonathan’s friendship, interpreted by Ackerley as a homosexual bond.
