Hong Kong- More than 200 complaints about the Bible have been received by Hong Kong's anti-porn watchdog after a Chinese website said the holy book was full of stories of rape, incest and violence, a media report said Wednesday. The complaints were sparked after the Chinese language website - www.truthbible.net - attempted to put pressure on the Television and Entertainment Licensing Authority to classify the Bible as indecent, the South China Morning Post said. The agency confirmed it had received about 210 complaints about the Bible, compared with about 80 against a university students' newspaper which ran a series of sex columns the authority decided earlier this week were indecent. On the website is a form letter which people can send to the authority to complain about the Bible. The licensing authority would not say if the complaints about the Bible would be investigated. A publication is exempt from anti-porn laws if it is deemed to be in the interest of science, literature, art or academic study. But if the complaints against the Bible were upheld, the holy book would have to be sold in sealed packaging with a warning that it could only be bought by those over 18 years, like sex magazines.

To Harold J Caldwell:
Please, are you so ignorant and conceded, that because you and others like you believe to be so has to be the truth? What about the words of Buddha and Allah, and others from other cultures? I do not belong to a church, temple or an organized religion, but also, not as closed-minded as you are. How do you KNOW it to be the words of GOD - besides being told so throughout your life?
I have not seen enough concrete proof of a true GOD-being (Christian, Islamic, Buddhist, etc - GOD) yet.
I have read the bible and there are stories of all that was mentioned in the article, but do believe it should not be censored as written.

To the individuals that claim the Bible is Indecent have to be non-christians. The Bible is Gods word to all mankind, and is infallible, in every way. The Bible tells us in Matthew 24:35, Mark 13:31 and Luke 21:33 the same message......[ Heaven and earth shall pass away, but my words shall not pass away.] If they would turn their lives over to God, they would understand this.Thank You for the opportunity to voice my opinion in the very inportant issue.
