Similar to the sex/nudity/violence etc ones?

What about on the bible? There's plenty of sex and violence in the bible yet kids have access to it

And on history and art books too.
A good monarch is a treasure. A good politician is an oxymoron.

Are you saying religious books and films should carry warnings if they feature sex and violence,
or that they should carry warnings because of the religious content itself?   :scratchhead:

I think there were two totally unrelated premises. I do like Scrap's take on it though.
I2 today is not i2 of yesteryear. It is a knitting circle. Those that participate be they nice or asshats know their place and the price to be there. Odeon is the overlord

.Benevolent if you toe the line.

Think it is I2 of old? Even Odeon is not so delusional as to think otherwise. He may on occasionally pretend otherwise but his base is that knitting circle.

Censoring/banning/restricting/moderating myself, Calanadale & Scrapheap were all not his finest moments.

How to apologise to Scrap

Both I guess. If there are warnings about sex/violence on dvds (and even kids being turned away from cinemas becauase of this), then the same shoulkd apply to religious stuff with sex/violence in it. I guess people just assume no kid would ever wanna read the bible anyway these days :laugh:

Religious indoctrination can be harmful though in itself. More so than a mild sex scene in a film, or a woman's breasts (unless she's really ugly obviously)

I think that there should be a warning on this:

I2 has a smiley for everything. Even a hamster wheel. :hamsterwheel:

Jesus died on the cross to show us that BDSM is a legitimate form of love.
There is only one truth and it is that people do have penises of different sizes and one of them is the longest.

But he's missing some fabric on the seat of his pants.  :zoinks:
