The "War on Christianity" Claims Fall Flat Again

It looks as if another effort to scare Christians into believing the end of the world is right around the corner has fallen flat. Yesterday, Christians around the world were warned that Hong Kong was on the verge of banning the Bible because of its "indecent" contents, which some 1406 people told Hong Kong's Television and Entertainment Licensing Authority "made one tremble" because of its stories of rape, incest, cannibalism, and bestiality. So desperate were the scaremongers that they were forced to quote someone who posted on an Internet message board to ramp up the fear: "Wow, another excuse to try and remove Jesus or anything about Him from the world, so to speak. The Enemy is hard at work in these last days." Alas, the Television and Licensing Authority refused to bite, saying, "The Bible is a religious text which is part of civilization. It has been passed from generation to generation," and refusing to submit the Bible to the Obscene Articles Tribunal for classification.
