And just so we can put this all in perspective ...

These books are fiction, so there is none of the activity you speak of actually happening. There is nothing in Deuteronomy that mentions that reading fiction on these topics is an abomination.

[PetroniusMaximus]

“These books are fiction, so there is none of the activity you speak of actually happening. There is nothing in Deuteronomy that mentions that reading fiction on these topics is an abomination.”

Thank you.

Now if there was a very popular childrens series about a couple of crack-addicted, teenage, male-prostitutes - and this series described the kids life and habits in detail but also included a bunch of “life lessons” - would you want your kids to read this?

Remember, it’s all just fiction.

So, would you?

No kidding. There's also nothing in the Bible about how reading about murder makes you a murderer. Go figure!

I know! I believe that there's something in the Bible that says you're not supposed to commit murder... Does that mean that you're not allowed to read a book where murders occur? If that's the case, I guess we're not supposed to read the Bible.
