Just because someone CAN use it for erotic feelings doesn't make it porn (per the definition of the word).
As for the law, can't speak to that...i was just going with the actual definition of the word.
Not liking the contents is one thing, but claiming it to be porn is another.
This is one of those things where common sense always prevails.
Another thing to remember is that the dictionary "definition" doesn't affect the legality of it.

Quote:pornography[/url]
n. pictures and/or writings of sexual activity intended solely to excite lascivious feelings of a particularly blatant and aberrational kind, such as acts involving children, animals, orgies, and all types of sexual intercourse. The printing, publication, sale and distribution of "hard core" pornography is either a felony or misdemeanor in most states. Since determining what is pornography and what is "soft core" and "hard core" are subjective questions to judges, juries and law enforcement officials, it is difficult to define, since the law cases cannot print examples for the courts to follow.

But again this is moot because of the law.

The bible is not being used for instructions as within this law so it is fair game to have pulled and examined.
Of course it will pass and be put back because...religion. But it's still pretty filthy and violent.
