Gallery’s invitation to deface the Bible brings obscene response
A publicly funded exhibition is encouraging people to deface the Bible in the name of art, and visitors have responded with abuse and obscenity.
The show includes a video of a woman ripping pages from the Bible and stuffing them into her bra, knickers and mouth.
Everyone knows that Christians and Jews will respond non-violently to this kind of outrageeous “art.”
I’d love to see them try it with a Koran.

Can someone try it with the Koran? I’m just antsy to see the way that would turn out. I suppose this exhibit has opened at least a way to start a dialogue with those people. Oops… I said the D word.

This treatment certainly shows anger. Would any other book of a people allow such treatment without retaliation AND still evoke such emotion. One must ask – why hatred for a book. It is more than a book – and the cherished word of God will be what the people crave in a very few years.
