    Interesting, could be because it can expose kids to sex, incest and violence (via the bible stories)

    …so then these sisters get super horny, get their elderly father drunk, and repeatedly rape him until they get pregnant and give birth to their own brothers.

    It’s the holiest of books.

    Exposing children to these books and telling then it’s reality, is child abuse.

    And at the same time, people who believe these books, are banning other, more harmless books. You’re ridiculous.

    Its kind of funny, but if thats the threshold for NSFW then basically any fediverse or wiki app on F-Droid needs to be marked as NSFW…

    Maybe add an antifeature for “cult content” :D

      Probably does. That being said most fediverse and Wikipedia do not feature stories of young teens getting their father drunk to pass on the genes after seeing their mother turned to salt because some angels got lost in rapesville.

        Wikipedia has literally anything you can imagine on it, so of course it does have that. Just the article about the bible itself probably contains all the fucked up things that appear in the bible.
        And the fediverse has every kind of porn from incest to zoophilia on it.

      I think the line is drawn if the content is contained in the app itself. Fediverse/Wiki apps are more like a browser. If you choose to visit a “NSFW” mastodon instance that is between you and the instance, not F-Droid.

        The author of the app says, his app does not contain any bible texts. Only chapters.

        I agree, many parts of the bible are not safe for work.

        Downvote me for it, but I I think it should not be flagged. The bible is simply not covered by F-Droids NSFW definition.

          If I read it correctly, they reverted the change for this app because it does not contain text itself.

          It is fine to disagree about this for sure, in fact you’ll never find a solution that makes everyone happy. Fortunately, you can add other repositories to F-Droid if you don’t like there decisions.

    That’s bullshit. Other atheists can be so fucking stupid when the Bible is brought up. Can’t ever discuss it because it’s fiction even though we can write 1000 page essays on Bloodborne lore. Shakespeare is a bunch of people putting humanity into some stories and we appreciate that but because morons created religion that means the Bible is useless.

    And the “Bible has rape, obviously it’s bad, duh!!” shit. Just change it to “LGBT book has rape, ban it!” and join your people. What’s the point of leaving religion when you’re so dogmatic? You’re literally built to be a crusader. Posers.

      The difference is in the endorsement of horrible behaviour. So, if the same horrible things were encouraged in an LGBTQ+ book, I would expect it to get the same response as what the bible is getting.

        Endorsement? Or depictions?

        It’s historical fiction. The Bible predates religion: straight from the cult era. Christians, Muslims, and Jews are just dingle berries stuck to our cultural relics. These books belong to secular people. And since when are secular people using this stuff to promote rape?

        For that reason, plus being against such puritan attitudes toward content, is why I think censoring this stuff is bullshit.

        People are going to stoop to hyper literal interpretations of a NSFW label and ignore the subject of cens*rsh*p… Because religious people suck? I get it, but this is our shit. Fuck what they say or think about our fiction.

          Oh, don’t get me wrong, I also don’t think the bible should be censored. It’s just that the bible does endorse bad behaviour, such as how to treat slaves (and thus owning slaves). It is not just a piece of fiction that nobody believes in, and it wasn’t written by people who just wanted to entertain their friends. A lot of the bible is about morality.
