You Can Bash Religion, But Don’t Touch Sex

I found it very interesting that your readers responded “in record numbers…the largest outpouring of letters in memory” to an act of censorship (Readers Reply, BR 15:06). Jesus can be blasphemed; Moses, the Prophets and the holy men and women of Israel trodden underfoot; the Bible dismissed as a work of fiction; the Law vilified as misogynistic oppression of women (and everyone else, for that matter)—and hardly a voice is raised in protest, hardly a word is spoken in defense. But just dare to mess with our right to see naked pubies, and you get plenty of response!
