A Picture is worth a thousand words

One of my long-time frustrations with Christianity has been the adherence to censorship. I am not so in tune with that kind of thinking. And it was an article I saw on Yahoo Oddly Enough that brought me back to it. (Beware that some pornographic material lies on the other side of the web address listed in the Yahoo article) The frustration with Christian Censorship is that no matter what "they" try to censor, there is some form of it in the scriptures. It says it may not be good for you, and that I can deal with. But then to say that it doesn't need to be out there and "they" have the right to tell everyone else what to think is just not cool with me. Then something like the calendar in the article comes out and I wonder if this is the "right" way to bring the Bible to life. I guess in a couple of instances it does seem to fit...like Eve in the Garden of Eden. But Rahab nude doesn't make much sense and even less Delilah. Yes they were women of the bedroom, but really? Then again, so much of the Sistine Chapel is done in nudes, male and female and I wonder what thanks we really ought to be giving to Augustine who helped instill this modesty into the life of the church. The flip side is the Hedonists who caroused nude for the joy of the Grace that was to come from sinning so well.
Ahh, well, just part of the journey I guess.
Peace,
