Erotic moments from Bible?
By Marc • Dec 5th, 2005 • Category: Satan Laughs, the RanterBERLIN (Reuters) - 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.
This is just sick. These people ought to be ashamed of themselves.
I’ve seen some of the pictures and they are as described.
Bernd Grasser, pastor of the church in Nuremberg where the calendar is being sold, was enthusiastic about the project which is explained online at
“It’s just wonderful when teenagers commit themselves with their hair and their skin to the bible,” he said.
They haven’t committed themselves to anything except erotic dysfunction. I am appalled that a ‘man of God” say such a thing and advocate what these kids are doing. It’s nothing short of what you would find in Playboy or Penthouse. Don’t get me wrong, there’s nothing wrong with baring your soul. But in this day and age, there is no reason to think that baring your breasts in God’ name is appropriate. This is even worse than the earlier mentioned grannys who were posing nude in the Anglican church for a calendar. I say worse because it’s possible these kids are being exploited. You have to wonder about Rev. Grasser’s motivation here….
