A new petition has popped up on Change.org, asking that The Holy Bible be removed from Target using the same allegations listed in the petition that prompted the department store to remove Grand Theft Auto V from shelves.
“It’s a book that encourages readers to murder women for entertainment.The incentive is to commit sexual violence against women, then abuse or kill them to proceed or get ‘god’ points – and now Target are stocking it and promoting it for your Xmas stocking,” petition owner Sharky Sharktech writes. “This is The Holy Bible. This book means that after various sex acts, readers are given options to kill women by stoning her unconscious, Setting them on fire, cutting off their hands, and killing their children!
“One of many fan passages on In The Holy Bible depicts woman being set alight for having sex “And the daughter of any priest, if she profane herself by playing the whore, she profaneth her father: she shall be burnt with fire.” (Leviticus 21:9),” the petition continues.
