11. If you read the narratives of Judah, Onan, and Tamar, as related in
the thirty-eighth chapter of Genesis, for humanity's sake keep it out
of the hands of your children, and use _your_ influence to prevent its
circulation among the heathen; for it must have the effect to sink them
still deeper in moral depravity and mental degradation.
12. The disgusting story of Absalom's familiarity with his father's
concubines, as related (2 Sam. xvi. 32), is so disgusting, that we will
barely allude to it. Having referred to twelve cases more, we shall
pursue the repulsive subject no further, except merely to indicate
the chapter and verse where a long list of such cases may be found
and examined by those who may need more evidence that the Bible is an
obscene book, not fit to be read in decent society.
13. Vulgar language is used in representing men as acting like dogs.
(See 2 Kings ix. 8.)
14. Job describes disgusting conduct toward a woman (Job xxxi. 9).
15. Solomon's Song of Songs contains much that is obscene language from
the first to the eighth chapter.
16. Isaiah makes revolting suggestions relative to stripping women. (See
Isa. xxxii. 2.)
17. Ezekiel is represented as eating disgusting food (dung) (Ezek. iv.
12).
18. Jehovah's command to Hosea to marry a harlot is of immoral tendency.
19. Isaiah frequently makes use of vulgar language. One case may be
found in chap. lxvi. 3.
20. Another case in Hosea, describing horrible treatment of women and
children. (See chap. xiii. 16.)
21. The conduct of Sechem towards certain women, as told in Gen. xxxiv.
4, is loathsome.
22. The conduct of parents toward their daughters, as described in Deut.
xxii. 15, and as enjoined by the Mosaic law, is disgusting and shocking
in the extreme.
23. And language no less disgusting, relative to the treatment of men,
as prescribed by law, is found in Deut. xxiii.
24. The account of Paul's conversion, as described in Acts ix., is
extremely vulgar.
