Incest, slavery and genocide didn't make the list?

Of course not, only extramarital sex is bad, not owning people, killing peoples, or married siblings having children together /s

Also, instructions for how to force your cheating wife to have an abortion.

So much as I would like to keep religion out of the libraries, supporting a ban of any given one makes me no better than the zealots trying to censor books elsewhere.

Put in with the rest of the fiction section and let people read it as they wish. Some may have a section for religious texts, but separating it out that way gives an air of legitimacy and plausibility not really due it.

I started reading the bible recently (currently on Samuel I), and it is the goriest, trashiest, most salacious shit I've ever read.
