The Bible Is Worse Than Grand Theft Auto

The Bible is, in terms of objectionable content, far far worse than any video game ever made to date. Within its pages there is incest, infanticide, rape, mass murder, animal sacrifice. A woman drives a tent peg into a sleeping man's ear. Actual murderers in the real world have directly cited passages from the Bible in justifying their actual murders committed in the real world. And yet, among all the cultural watchdogs, to my knowledge not one has made a movement to ban the Bible, or make it illegal to sell, or even to put some kind of rating on it to prevent children from having access to such horrible and clearly influential material. Rather, and in direct contradiction to their stated goals, many of these people look at the Bible like it some sort of moral guide. All I'm saying is, I'm hiding the tent pegs before I go to sleep.
