You have some soul mates in Germany: London (CNSNews.com) - A German government minister has been asked to re-classify the Bible as a book considered too dangerous for children because of its violent content. Two lawyers from Bavaria made the request in a letter to Family Minister Christine Bergmann, in which they said the Bible contained "bloodthirsty and human rights-violating passages." "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 Bible should remain on a lists of books unsuitable for children until the offending passages were removed, they argued. The two claimed to be acting on behalf of "some parents of minors." cnsnews.com\ForeignBureaus\archive\For20000803e.html
