"This misogynistic book makes a game of horrific violence against women," reads the online petition.
Australian gamers, furious about the decision by two large retailers to ban a popular violent video game, have started a petition to ban the Bible.
The petition, posted Dec. 4 on Change.org, has already attracted more than 20,000 signatures. In an obvious parody of arguments in favor of banning video games, the petition claims the Bible “encourages readers to murder women for entertainment” by “commit(ting) sexual violence against women, then abuse or kill them to proceed or get 'god' points.” It calls on Australian retailers, including Target, to pull the Bible from their shelves.”
