German calendar depicts erotic moments from Bible
Reuters ^ | Fri Dec 2, 2005

A German Protestant youth group has put together a 2006 calendar with 12 staged photos depicting erotic scenes from the Bible, including a bare-breasted Delilah cutting Samson's hair and a nude Eve offering an apple.

"There's a whole range of biblical scriptures simply bursting with eroticism," said Stefan Wiest, the 32-year-old photographer who took the titillating pictures.

Anne Rohmer, 21, poses on a doorstep in garters and stockings as the prostitute Rahab, who is mentioned in both New and Old Testaments. "We wanted to represent the Bible in a different way and to interest young people," she told Reuters.

"Anyway, it doesn't say anywhere in the Bible that you are forbidden to show yourself nude."

Bernd Grasser, pastor of the church in Nuremberg where the calendar is being sold, was enthusiastic about the project which is explained online at www.bibelkalender.de.

"It's just wonderful when teenagers commit themselves with their hair and their skin to the bible," he said.

It will be officially launched at the weekend.

That old saw was debunked years ago.

You're certainly entitled to your opinion...with an emphasis on opinion. Make sure the facts don't get in the way of it.

Whoever made this statement needs to familiarize themselves with the Bible and hold off making shotgun statements such as the above!

Porn is in the eyes of the beholder.

Seriously... what is the deal with Europeans and nudity?

The same could be asked of Americans and their aversion to it.

I'm sure Barney Frank got all the "actual men" he wanted, back when his "boyfriend" was running that male prostitution ring out of his home.

Drives home the point that mixing religion and erotica are nothing new.

Both play on intense emotional experiences. It's not a coincidence that the word "ecstasy" shows up in writings on both.

Sounds like they've created a new book in the bible:

The Gospel of Beavis and Butthead. Eh, uhuh, huh, huh, he said naked!!

This pastor would do well to remember:

6 ¶ Give not that which is holy unto the dogs, neither cast ye your pearls before swine, lest they trample them under their feet, and turn again and rend you.

Matthew 7:6

Well the calendar is relying upon a myth as there is nothing Written about an 'apple' and a naked Eve.

"...while Michelangelo was merely manic-depressive. Besides, with his personal hygiene [his father advised him never to wash].."

Not only was he depressed, but stinkin' depressed.

I wonder if they've got a shot of Lot and his daughters in there.

Never mind. After visiting the site, it appears that they do have Lot and his daughters on one page. Funny.

If my dog had a face like that, I'd shave his a$$ and make him walk backward.

How do you know that she's not already doing that?

What did they do? Transplant the face of the dog who attacked onto its victim?
