Yeah, I know it isnt what I think - my point is that in the creation of those mags, no individual was coerced into doing anything. This book though, instructs pedophiles how to interfere with children. its very intent, if people follow what it says to do, WILL harm children. It isnt what I think, it is actually what happens.

Yet the same people who go apoplectic if their child catches a glimpse of Janet Jackson's breast on TV, are fine with the most gruesome biblical representations, or shrug when their teenager is glued to the TV watching torture and mutilations in SAW IV.
There has been a tremendous outcry against this book, even though there is no evidence that any child has been harmed because of it.
Yet, there is nary a peep against the widespread genital mutilation of children (otherwise known as circumcision). Even the practice of metzitzah b'peh (oral suction) is shrugged off, because hey, who can argue with God...? |
Aint no argument from me on these points. Weird things are allowed to happen in the name of religion; however, from your previous comments about not banning any books, and taking on this "First Amendment" stance, then it is fine for religious books to be written about it, and telling people how to do it!
