Indecent Bible attracts more than 200 complaints in Hong Kong

Wednesday 16th May, 2007 (IANS)
More than 200 complaints about the Bible have been received by Hong Kong's anti-porn watchdog after a Chinese website said the holy book was full of stories of rape, incest and violence, a media report said Wednesday.
The complaints were sparked after the Chinese language website - www.truthbible.net - attempted to put pressure on the Television and Entertainment Licensing Authority to classify the Bible as indecent, the South China Morning Post said.
The agency confirmed it had received about 210 complaints about the Bible, compared with about 80 against a university students' newspaper, which ran a series of sex columns the authority decided earlier this week were indecent.
On the website is a form letter which people can send to the authority to complain about the Bible.
The licensing authority would not say if the complaints about the Bible would be investigated. A publication is exempt from anti-porn laws if it is deemed to be in the interest of science, literature, art or academic study.
But if the complaints against the Bible were upheld, the holy book would have to be sold in sealed packaging with a warning that it could only be bought by those over 18 years, like sex magazines.

Indecent Bible attracts more than 200 complaints in Hong Kong
We the Christian of the world are not troubled by such message or the fasle step being taken by the some jeolous people in Honk Kong. This shows, Bible holds the TRUTH and do noy hide anything.
Some people may think by doing this they will succeed but not. Such kind of steps being taken thousands times but everyday millions of people being saved.
I personally wish to advice the Website Host and supporter to stop this activity. Don’t go against the Living God. This will be like beating the air.
In Him
David from India

You the idiots of the worls who worship nonsense, and myths may you wither away like spoil grapes on the vine and leave the world for the sane andreasonable . How much more misery must we suffer in the name of islam, judeaism and christianity. A carpenter, merchant, and goat herder, are your prophets and gods, no wonder the world is as it is.
