CHINA CLASSIFIES BIBLE AS PORN/ GIVES IT AN X-RATING



HONG KONG (Reuters) - More than
800 Hong Kong residents have
called on authorities to reclassify
the Bible as "indecent" due to
its sexual and violent content,
following an uproar over a sex
column in a university student
journal.

A spokesperson for Hong Kong's
Television and Entertainment
Licensing authority (TELA)
said it had received 838
complaints about the Bible
by noon Wednesday.

The complaints follow the
launch of an anonymous
Web site -- www.truthbible.net
-- which said the holy book
"made one tremble" given
its sexual and violent content,
including rape and incest.
