Prophecy and Biblical Violence

Two Lawyers from Bavaria recently ask a German government minister to re-classify the Bible as a book considered too dangerous for children because of its violent content. "It preaches genocide, racism, enmity towards Jews, gruesome executions for adulterers and homosexuals, the murder of one's own children and many other perversities," wrote Christian Sailer and Gert-Joachim Hetzel. The duo further charged that God's Word contained "bloodthirsty and human rights-violating passages" and want it placed on a list of books unsuitable for children until the offending passages are removed, So much for liberal tolerance!
