text: who agrees that the bible is vulgar? ezek. 23:20 (niv) "there she lusted after her lovers, whose genitals were like those of donkeys and whose emission was like that of horses."  ezek. 23:20 (kjv)  "for she doted upon their paramours, whose flesh is as the flesh of asses, and whose issue is like the issue of horses."  look how the amplified bible attempts to clean it up:  "for she doted upon her paramours there, whose lust was sensuous and vulgar like that of asses or stallions."  and the new living translation tries to cover it up further:  "she lusted after lovers whose attentions were gross and bestial."  the same christians who would be appalled if such statements appeared in a book that their children brought home from the library, see nothing wrong with it being in the bible! in fact, i'll bet that 99% of them don't even know it's there. the bible is vulgar, violent, and should be banned from the shelves to anyone under the age of 18. i won't be surprised if this message is deleted for its content. i do agree that there is a lot of disturbing, vulgar, and not very "family values" oriented stuff in the bible. when i read the bible it seems so obviously written by uncivilized men that i have a hard time understanding how some people still think it is the divinely inspired word of god. i think if it came out today the folks at places like focus on family or concerned women for america would be working overtime to have it banned from school libraries.
