If it is not glorifying to God, it is evil. It is spiritual pornography."
It is amazing that people still try to defend this wretched piece of garbage.
Sorry, I am in rant mode, but c'mon!  | I've had the same reaction by the the pastor's wife of the church I attend. I was able to tell her that yes I read it and that it was I know it to be a vile and blasphemous book which perverts the image of God. Her response was that one of her sons had met the author and that he was nice.
I will join you in
Get use to this in modern Christendom. It's not about what the scripture teaches, but how God makes you feel.
