The bible... believe in it or not, everyone knows it.

My question to all you lovely people, should it be censored ( particularly the homophobic section).

Personally I am really torn on this as I am both Bi and Christian.

For
Society has moved on and has realised that people are born LGBTQ plus and no one has control over it
It is also extremely sexist which also makes me uncomfortable

Against
I will always be an activist for freedom of speech and I believe that every human being should be able to believe what they want, no matter how un PC ( providing that they never physically hurt anyone)
Aren’t we then discriminating against Christians? For saying that their beliefs are wrong and should be made illegal?

So what do you think. is it time that this book is changed to meet current moral standards or are we all snowflakes and should just except beliefs of Christianity, that people have a right to believe if they want to.

You you're bi and think the Bible should be censored, but from your other thread you're happy to be friends with someone who thinks gay people are disgusting?

I feel that society ( particularly in the western world) had more hate for Christianity then And Islam

OMG, I have only just realised that I have wrote Then Instead of And. So sorry. Of course I’m aware of the trouble Muslims have!

@TurOlive
Yes because like I say, I believe that everyone is entitled to their beliefs, no matter how horrible. She doesn’t know I’m bi, but I have told her that I don’t agree with her beliefs, in which she tells me that it is not her problem that I’m offended by her religion.

Sounds like a lovely friend.

This might already have been said but the Bible was translated and this means a layer of meaning/interpretation on the original texts depending on who was interpreting, the views of the time and the meaning they decided to ascribe to passages, imagery and phrasing.

If you have been taught context - why think it should be censored?

Censorship is censorship and is never acceptable. YABU.
