That's along the lines of the point I was trying to make. Amazon's wording of their guidelines seems so broad and vague in its scope that technically no one should be able to submit anything for publication since there has to be someone out there that could/would be offended by said submission. In essence if I read it right you have to please everyone or your book is probably going to be yanked eventually when someone does complain, and it is impossible to please everyone. I just used the Bible as an example. Amazon sells several different copies of the text and according to the quote that I originally posted if someone is offended by it Amazon can just pull it off the shelves without a second thought. So any book is a potential target.
