I feel pretty confident in saying this.....

The bible was not written with the intent of "stimulating" a person's erotic feelings.  

I don't know which side of the political spectrum the person(s) claiming this is...but they're pretty stupid.  

If I get off on watching dogs die, that doesn't immediately make Where the Red Fern Grows pornographic material.  

Unfortunately, from what I read in the original story, the law doesn't make room for the overall message of a book.  It just says if it has anything a parent would consider unacceptable for their child.  Do you want you child reading about a man offering his daughters up for rape?  Or a woman who lusted after men who were hung like donkeys and ejaculated like horses?

Secondly if you did get off on watching dogs die then everything that has a dog die would get you off...that makes it sexual.

Just like folks in the old days used the Sears catalog to see scantily dressed women (and men, I assume).  

The initial product wasn't intended for that use but that's not what the law considers.  

For sexual descriptions and violent acts very few books would equal the bible.  And that is what the good people of Utah are trying to protect their progeny from!
