Meanwhile, in Gilead…
WingNutDaily (via Pam Spaulding at Pandagon) reminds us of why the fundies keep running into things - they’re eternally incapable of removing the Redwood log from their eyes.
Check it out:
An online company providing books to hundreds of Christian bookstores throughout Canada and the United States promotes XXX-rated materials, occult titles, manuals on homosexuality and lesbianism and satanism, according to a center that monitors the industry.
As WND has reported, a company called BookManager serves a St. Catharines, Ont., Christian bookstore whose owner recently discovered books on occultism, pornography and the like could be located through its website.
But wait, there’s more!
He [”Christian” Research Service head BPud Press] said there are Christians who have had their faith “shipwrecked” because of exposure the heretical books and New Age concepts they were able to order through Christian bookstores.
Press said the company, headquarted in Kelowna, British Columbia, besides Canada and the United States, serves bookstores in England, Ireland and the Bahamas.
“This is a significant problem for Canadian Christian bookstores and any Christian bookstore that is powered by BookManager,” Press said. “Indeed, the mere presence of non-Christian authors and books within Christian bookstores – whether in Canada, the U.S., or worldwide – is a sobering reminder that Christians have let their guard down and failed to apply the Biblical tests to authors, books, and materials within their online and walk-in Christian bookstores.”
Perhaps they ought to be policing their own, the way the Chinese are doing:
HONG KONG (Reuters) - More than 800 Hong Kong residents have called on authorities to reclassify the Bible as “indecent” due to its sexual and violent content, following an uproar over a sex column in a university student journal.
*Sigh* Just another day in Bushworld.
