    There’s a lot of smut in the Bible.

      Which is why they added exceptions for it after people got it removed.

        Maybe they go after all Christian books ,you know the ones praising the glory of Yahweh, which is just a semitic war god (if you pay attention to history).

      Once when I was a kid, our pastor gave a sermon. Something about lions.

      But he mixed up how to spell lions. He was old. So all the Bible verses he used were actually about loins.

      That was a funny lesson and complete waste of time.

      But there are a lot of loins in the King James Version
