Noah was a horny old goat

The Fritz the Cat dude made a comic book from Genesis. And it has (*gasp*) TITS IN IT! ZOMGLOLOHNO!

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.

So what's the problem? Just sounds like the Old Testament to me.

"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."

"Rescue plan"?! That's a new one. I'm just gonna let that "religious think-tank" bit pass on by; that fish is in waaaaay too small a barrel to make for good sport.

"If you are going to publish your own version of the Bible it must be done with a great deal of sensitivity."

Actually... no. You don't have to do any such thing. You ever heard of freedom of the press?

The Bible is a very important text to many many people and should be treated with the respect it deserves.

Don't get me going about how it "deserves" to be treated. We won't end up in the same ball park. However, it would appear that many church leaders don't have a problem with it:

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.

Only the fundies are surprised and/or scandalized by that, honey. Because in their world, God hates sex. And alcohol. And pianos. And dancing. And... Well, the list goes on for quite some length, actually. I left when I got bored with listening to it.
