Hong Kong is trying to decide if the Bible should be classified as indecent due to the mention of violence, sexuality, incest, rape, etc. At least people are starting to realize that the Bible isn't all that boring reading, you can't get all 3 of the elements of a good book in the Bible (sex, death, and religion). But, maybe not for the right reasons. If the Bible was deemed indecent in Hong Kong, it would mean that it would have to be sold from behind the counter with a sealed wrapper with a printed warning and could only be sold to people over 18. Just like an issue of Playboy.
But, there is a difference. The Bible doesn't glorify these sexual acts or include explicit details. If the Bible gets these restrictions put on it, then it would make sense to put the same restrictions on newspapers that mention the rapist that was arrested yesterday. And there could be more, where would it stop?
Paix du Christ!

Did you read solomon's song of songs? Quite detailed dirty description of sex. And how about the stamp of approval of daugthers raping their father immediately after being saved by God after the destruction of Sodom & Gomorrah. The bible is totally OK with it! .....
Band, legislate, protect...we're not capable of making choices for ourself any longer, it seems.

Very interesting. I have to agree with the comments about Song of Songs. Very romantic though.

Show us how the Bible is ok with the actions of the daughters.
It reports many things but reporting does not mean being ok with. Song of Songs is not dirty unless you yourself see sex as dirty. And try asking yourself why you post as anonymous...it almost always lowers the bar for the person posting....as in the above example.
