Now in its original context I've no problem with the written version, entirely in keeping with the spirit of the book. That section was never intended to be illustrated, indeed the illustrations go against the moral spirit of book. Its intended as book of rules of conduct not as a spectacle of images to be gawped at. I'm generally in favour of using illustrations to help interpret books making them more accessible. Here its just inappropriate and Sam's Club is entirely right to ban it.

Later in the same section Leviticus 15:28-15:30, the bibles advocating the large scale slaughter of doves. Apparently women should sacrifice two doves or pigeons eight days after the end of her period. So thats 24 doves a year. Its a good thing all christians don't follow this as we would very soon rid the world of doves. I now know what I'll ask the next time the Jehovah Witnesses come knocking on my door.

Try this. I may just be a prude or paranoid, but if I lived in the States, I wouldn't want to be caught showing that to a child. I'd end up on the Sex Offender Registry.

Well I'd suggest reading the Old Testament of the Bible (an easy and fun read in lego). It pretty clearly states that the chosen people (in this case, the Jews) should kill pretty much anyone whom isn't chosen.

In fact most religions at their core include some level of dehumanizing or at least devaluing other religions. This is a big part of how religions propagate.

And I'm _not_ saying religion is bad. Just that they all play this game, and very few of the modern people of any religion buy the whole thing hook line and sinker. In America at least, my modern Jewish, Moslem, Hindu, Buddhist, Athiest friends, etc don't think it's okay to go around killing people.

Yup, that's right. Even my Moslem friends. I'm talking real Moslems who actually pray six times a day. There is not a trace of Jihad in them. Because that is not how the majority of them think. Regardless of what the Koran says.

So yes, I hate the Jihad. No, I do not hate Moslems, or their religion, or wish to eradicate the earth of them.

Cheers.
