   A Utah parent says the Bible contains porn and should be removed from school libraries. Here’s their full challenge. The parent writes that the book should be considered indecent under Utah’s new book banning law, after seeing the other titles that have been pulled.

   “Incest, onanism, bestiality, prostitution, genital mutilation, fellatio, dildos, rape, and even infanticide,” the parent wrote in their request, listing topics they found concerning in the religious text. “You’ll no doubt find that the Bible, under Utah Code Ann. § 76-10-1227, has ‘no serious values for minors’ because it’s pornographic by our new definition.” https://www.sltrib.com/news/education/2023/03/22/utah-parent-says-bible-contains/

     @JenLucPiquant "Oh no! Intellectual consistency demands we do a thing we don't want! Wait a minute... We're conservatives! We don't HAVE intellectual consistency! Sorry, that law is only enforced on the people we don't like. Nice try though."

     @JenLucPiquant now I'm just curious. Where in the Bible are dildos mentioned?

     @JenLucPiquant I’m reminded of Robert Crumb’s “Book of Genesis” causing a bit of a fuss because he drew everything that was written. It’s a very graphic story.

     @JenLucPiquant I think that parent is trying to get teens to read the Bible more. Next step - put a pdf of the King James version on pornhub.
