A media watchdog in Hong Kong has been flooded with obscenity complaints about the Bible. The complaints are that the Bible is obscene and parts were offensive to readers. Do you think the Bible should be banned?
The story is here;

I once read a story of a hollywood producer who threatened to make a movie highlighting the obscene parts of the bible in order to get censors to be more lenient.
The tactic worked. The censors relented as they knew there was worse in the bible than what they wanted to censor. They did not want to later be in the postition of haveing to censor the bible.
The movie "A Clockwork Orange" has the violent anti-hero of the movie taking up reading of the bible while in prison because it is the only source of violence, mayhem, and obscenity he can obtain behind bars.
I can not give you any exact bible references as the only parts of the bible I retain are parts I found useful.

Bible contains some of obscenity, most of them in Old testament, and some in New Testament. Some Christians says they accept only New testament, some others say accept Old and new, if anything superseded in new, that old rule will not be accepted. One Christian can't stand if completely rejecting the Old testament, Anyway Christians agree Old testament is the words of God.
I do not agree with banning the Bible, those who do not want to follow it he can leave it, if one want to follow hey can read it.
I think I'm not wrong here, if any Christians can correct.
