Erotic moments from Bible...

BERLIN (Reuters) - A German Protestant youth group has put together a 2006 calendar with 12 staged photos depicting erotic scenes from the Bible, including a bare-breasted Delilah cutting Samson's hair and a nude Eve offering an apple.

"There's a whole range of biblical scriptures simply bursting with eroticism," said Stefan Wiest, the 32-year-old photographer who took the titillating pictures.

Anne Rohmer, 21, poses on a doorstep in garters and stockings as the prostitute Rahab, who is mentioned in both New and Old Testaments. "We wanted to represent the Bible in a different way and to interest young people," she told Reuters.

but The Song of Solomon" is pretty erotic.

Khash.

as well as violence, greed and other evils. Nonetheless, the Fundies run around decrying things like Harry Potter while dutifully sitting their kids down to read the "wholesome" Bible. :eyes:

Pictures of the angels scared the heck out of me. Hell the whole thing scared the heck out of me. Then I read the NT in Gideon and later king james and I thought it was great . Weird huh?

during my childhood was filed with pictures depicting many of the gory Bible stories. It was pretty damned creepy.

Depending on the intent of the illustrator and publisher, the Bible can be made to be a tool of fear and opression, or one of love and forgiveness. That's what cracks me up most about the Fundies--they call themselves Christians, yet they glean nothing from his teachings, just all of the old hellfire and damnation stuff of the Old Testament.

investing somewhere I found once when I cracked the Bible and just started reading. What a wacky tome. To those who think it's the literal word of God: naw, he'd be more consistent!

over come depression rather than being stuck inside an actual whale.

I'm guessing the "Lot's daughters doing their Dad" scene won't be in there. Ewwwwww! Good.

I should know.

Y'know, Love Your Enemies and all that rot?

Fats Robertson, JayRee Falwell and Dr. Jim Bobson should each receive one from a generous DUer. :P

"There she lusted after her lovers, whose genitals were like those of donkeys and whose emmission was like that of horses."

Certain biblical translations squirm around the truth by using namby pamby words like "issues" and things.

Just another reason why the modern day translations have little credibility.

Am I unable to approach the alter of god because i have a defect in my sight?

As an apple tree among the trees of the wood,
    so is my beloved among young men.
    With great delight I sat in his shadow,
    and his fruit was sweet to my taste.

All of the eroticism in the Bible is not of the hetero variety.

would actually be illegal to depict in most places. :scared:
