Pornographic Genesis -
10-17-2009, 11:27 PM
Well, the demon spawn is at it again!!! Robert Crumb, that pornographer and pervert who drew "Fritz the Cat" has made a porographic mockery of Genesis!
http://www.telegraph.co.uk/culture/b...f-Genesis.html
Quote:
The book, which is released this month, carries the warning "adult supervision recommended for minors", and is described as "scandalous satire" by its publishers.
It includes graphic illustrations of Bible characters having sexual intercourse, and other scenes depicting naked men and women as well as "gratuitous" depictions of violence.
Crumb, the book's author, is most famous for his creation Fritz the Cat, a sexually graphic "underground" comic strip. It was turned into a film that became the first animation to receive an X rating.
He has said he does not believe that the Bible is the word of God. "I take it all for myth from start to finish, with probably some faint relation to historical reality." he said.
"They're great stories. But for people to take texts as something sacred, handed down from God... that's pretty backward, I think."
The Book of Genesis illustrated by R. Crumb has been criticised by leading religious groups such as the Christian Institute.
"It is turning the Bible into titillation," said Mike Judge, of the Christian Institute, a religious think-tank. "It seems wholly inappropriate for what is essentially God's rescue plan for mankind.
"If you are going to publish your own version of the Bible it must be done with a great deal of sensitivity. The Bible is a very important text to many many people and should be treated with the respect it deserves.
"Representing it in your own way is all very well and good but it must be remembered that it is a matter of people's faith, their religion.
"Faith is such an important part of people's lives that one must remember to tread very carefully."
Other leading religious figures have been more supportive of the work. "I didn't think it was satire," said the Bishop of Croydon, the Rt Rev Nick Baines.
"He set out to say; 'this is important, fundamental myth' and it seems to me he's done a good job."
A spokeswoman for the Bible Society said she hadn't seen the book but that reviews had suggested that Crumb had "really engaged" with the Book of Genesis.
"It may surprise people but the bible does contain nudity, sex and violence. That's because it contains real stories about real people.
"If by reading the book people are encouraged to re-engage with the Bible then that can only be a good thing."
A spokesman for the Church of England said: "I haven't seen the book but I think trying to sell something by emphasising the sexual nature of some of the scenes doesn't seem to be a good way to pass on the message of the bible."

I have to say that if God had intended for all that sex and violence to be in the Bible, He'd have put it in there in the first place!
In Christ,
Warren

Look at the top right picture - look at the text, "and the older one came and lay with her father and he knew not when she lay down and when she arose."
Now, looking at the expression on Old Lot's face,and seeing the position and effort he's putting into the "going in unto", I would find that hard to believe, whereas I accept the verses in the Bible without question.
And this is the whole trouble with allowing people, uninspired by God, to write the Bible, they get it wrong!
(The lower right picture looks as if it might be right but the younger daughter is about as beautiful as a badger's ass - surely this cannot be the daughter of a patriarch?)
Anyhoo, why can't he do one of the Koran?

Would you believe this filth is now available for sale to the general public??
I see he's taken some serious creative license. Do those outfits look like aprons of fig leaves to you?

Ha! I see that sales are going to be very few indeed. Why, even in the UK they are discounting it already.
PRAISE!

Well, you have to admit that according to the Bible, " the LORD God made coats of skins, and clothed them" (Genesis 3,21)
I'm much more worried about the way he portrays God and Adam as having some "metrosexual" relationship. And why does God have to look so Jewish?
The author even twists scripture to illustrate how " a man leaves his father and mother and clings (sic) to his wife, and they become one flesh."
1st Corinthians 15:16 For if the dead rise not, then is not Christ raised:
1st Corinthians 15:17 And if Christ be not raised, your faith is vain; ye are yet in your sins.
1st Corinthians 15:18 Then they also which are fallen asleep in Christ are perished.
