"There she lusted after her lovers, whose genitals were like those of donkeys and whose emission was like that of horses."
-- Ezekiel 23:20
Please somebody tell me, why our good lord Jesus Christ has exposed my innocent child to donkey penises and horse flatulence? Why would the Lord Almighty put such filth in His Good Book? I've seen books banned for much less.
Did Satan, the evil one, somehow sneak his way into my Bible to corrupt my innocent child?

Oh my! It's worse than I thought. Emissions are sperm not flatulence! Thanks you for pointing that out. Now I'm thoroughly disgusted!

With such energy and an apparent over abundance of idle time on your hand I think you can spend that time making society a better place to live rather than finding obscure passages to try to debunk the Bible.

Chapter 23 is an allegorical history of Jerusalem and Samaria. It continues from chapter 16.

Those arent holy words thats for sure. Im keeping the rest of the Bible out of this one because I dont know it very well.
But the Creator does not say such things. You must teach your child that.

because jesus was human, had genitals and therefore genitals are not dirty, our lord had them. Im sure your daughter is well aware of her privat parts and if by now anyways. Plus if she is old enough to read she probly knows about wee wees aswell weather or not she tells you so. its not filth, genitals are a natural and nessacary component of life.

I don't think emission means flatulence. I think it is referring to......well they would probably delete it if I told you but think about it.
Added: Well the Super Atheist just came right out and said it so there you have it.

Aside from the fact that I think this is another of your 'rhetorical' questions, the Bible wasn't written for children - it was written for adults.

Guess I'd be looking kind of squinty-eyed at whoever translated it that way in whatever bible you have (if you actually have one).
I haven't got a Christian bible, so I'm not sure that their version actually says what you wrote, but in my Jewish bible it sure doesn't say that.

Get a children's Bible that does not use that kind of language. For crying out loud, do you let your kid watch porn too?

No, but Satan snuck into you and you will let him at your child. if you don't do anything about it.
