You'd think a talking book would be harmless
They send him a catalog every couple of months; and he selects the titles he wants. They let him have a couple at a time.
He just came out of his room, outraged. Apparently two of the best selling selections involve a woman having an affair with a man, and later, his son... another a widower who has an affair with a man.
End Times indeed.

So did this person think the books would be censored just because someone else was reading them?
Cheer up, though, Acts. Your username implies you should be happy to face such “persecution.”
"Apparently two of the best selling selections involve a woman having an affair with a man, and later, his son... another a widower who has an affair with a man."
If he's widowed, then that's not adultery, just fornication. /nitpick
People enjoy fictonal stories about things that are considered immoral. End Times indeed.
Oh no! Catalogues selling books of subjects/titles you don't like!
Come ON. I go to Barnes and Noble all the time knowing that they sell TWILIGHT, but you don't hear me bitching about it.
SHOCKING!!!! End of Times indeed.
There are even more horrible, more shocking stories around!
For example, two daughters having an affair with their own father!!! Or a man being forced to have an affair with his brothers' wife, but he prefers to ... masturbate (*gasp*) instead!!! Or a man giving his daughter to some strangers in full knowledge that they will gang-rape her!
In a book which sells very well, it is even one of the most best-selling books ever!
You can find these horrendous stories here:
a) Genesis 19:30-36

"People enjoy fictonal stories about things that are considered immoral. End Times indeed."
Indeed. Might we suggest some choice passages from the Old Testament? Perhaps the one about the mauling of 42 youths by bears? (2 Kings 2:24) Or the one where God encourages cannibalism? (Ezekiel 24) Or perhaps the one where parents are told to beat their children for their own good? (Proverbs 22:15) Or Zecharia, where our all-good and all-loving Lord promises that all nations will wage war against Jerusalem, enslave its people and violate its women? (Zechariah 14:1-2)
Good Times indeed.
also; "He just came out of his room" - I think this is pretty telling, are you sure he's your husband and not your roommate?
Along with what has already been said, why did he buy those stupid books in the first place?!
I read this book one time that had a guy who's daughters got him drunk, and fucked him, so they could all start a tribe of people. Some people, who are of very low moral character themselves, love to brag how it's the best selling book of all time too.
I don't think a widower can have an affair, since their spouse is freaking dead. Yes, even if they start a homosexual relationship with a man. Not an affair.
And wtf? Why would a talking book be "harmless" compared to printed books? They're still the same freaking stories, they're just narrated versions.
Hah, later the poster says about the husband:
"Our earth is degenerate in these latter days; bribery and corruption are common; children no longer obey their parents; and the end of the world is evidently approaching. "
--Assyrian clay tablet 2800 B.C.
Huh???????? I mean, huh???? Yes, I really am that confused. A book about a woman having an affair with a man means the end times are here?
Better not read the bible, then.
And what kind of douche is outraged at the idea of people having sexual encounters? Oh yeah, a fundie Christian.
I'm sorry to learn that your husband is blind. But if he is also incapable to handle what goes on in real life, then his situation is indeed dire. And warn him strongly against getting anything by the Latin authors Juvenal and Suetonius. They might kill him.
Or is he just illiterate and cannot read?
Oh no! Not people having an affair! Hell, it only happens a million times a day around the world, if not more, so it's hardly anything out of the ordinary.
And must you fools see the fucking End Times in every single thing?
You realize that those books are available in nontalking, print format, right? Right?! They've been around for much longer than you've even been alive.
The world doesn't revolve around you, jackass.
I've seen a couple comments that suggest that the husband and wife have separate rooms and I don't think that's the case here (though it's certainly possible). Rather, I think the wife saying "his room" is in line with the fundie idea that that the man is the head of the household and thus everything belongs to him (including the wife). Thus "his room" is actually their room but she doesn't want to piss off Jesus for having the nerve to think that men and women can be equal partners in marriage with equal ownership. Again, I could be wrong but even the most repressed couple I've ever heard of only had separate beds and I have yet to see anyone have separate rooms. But as they say, there's a first time for everything.
There is a novel that deals with two grown men involved in a love triangle with a 16-year-old boy. It also features male prostitutes, drunkenness, gluttony, and witchcraft.
Its title is The Satyricon .
It was written around 60 AD.
"End Times," indeed.
>> He just came out of his room, wadded up Kleenexes all over the floor, breathing heaviily, flexing his right hand, and boy, was he excited uh ... outraged he said, yeah, that works. Outraged. That's the ticket.
Yeah, see? What did I tell you?_____ Ph. McA.
@ John_in_Oz
Let me get this straight:
A woman having an affair with a man and his bisexual son = zOMG end times!
Lot getting drunk having sex with his two virgin daughters = Good and righteous in God's eyes

Oh, wait -- it's in the Bible. It doesn't have to make sense!
You need to bone up on your histrionics Acts5.41. Whereas in some of your old comments you came across as a big girls blouse, you only manage to seem a rather mundane Bible ninny specializing in wannabe naked and magical aviation aerobatics. By the way, since I feel free to criticize you, it's only fair that you criticize me too. Are you able to interpret this as persecution? Would you prefer stronger criticism? Could you use more so-called persecution from me? Anyway, thanks for the laughs you moronic clod.
It is harmless, where is the harm? The only thing the book on tape apparently caused was your mild annoyance, hell if anything it helped you, it gave you another reason to spout off about your death cult bullshit.
Don't ever read the bible! You'd hate it! brother killing brother, rape, murder, more rape, someone killing someone else so they can have the pretty wife, masturbation, sex-slavery, incest ... disgusting, filthy, degenerate!
End Times indeed.
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!!!!
Oh, you were being serious.... HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH!!!!!!!!!!!
So, because some books are not of his taste, it's the end of the world?. Wellcome to the real world, which is not likely to end soon, don't worry.
I thought we had been done with this. Apparently not.
Why does this remind me of the story about fundamentalists, who, unable to listen to music backwards because everything new was released on CDs, started listening to it right way around , and were outraged to hear obscene lyrics?

I'm surprised he's listening to audiobooks that are anything other than the KJV. Oh, the 'Hell' that is literature which contains concepts and storylines that one would never see in the New Testament! (PROTIP: they do appear in the Old Testament). One word: Madrassas.
Liberate tutame ex inferis.
Of course! There is no mention of affairs, incest, murder, infanticide(bashing their heads against rocks or have a bear rip them to shreds),pedophilia(keep all the women children for yourself). How about giving up your daughters for a gang rape only to have pop impregnate them later?
Stewie said My my, what a thumping good read, lions eating Christians, people nailing each other to 2 x 4's. I'll say, you won't find that in Winnie the Pooh.
@dionysus
i barely even remember when my parents slept in the same bed... and even that may be false memories. i think they stopped sleeping together when i was like... 3 or 4. but then, they got divorced when i was 9 so i'm not sure it counts. they just never really got along too well. =/
Yeah I read this one book that was filed with filth:
- It had this one guy, Abraham something. He was married to his half-sister and his wife let him have sex with her maid.
- Then there was this other guy, Jacob, he was married to two sisters at the same time. They gave him their maids to have sex with too.
- There was this one guy, David, he married a whole bunch of women, just to improve his social standing. It never says in the book that he loved any of them.
- There was this one section called the Song of Songs. It was basically about these two people having sex, and it never says they were married.
- And then there were all of the rapes that took place in this book.
Yeah that book was complete trash. Can't imagine why anyone would read it.
Confused?
So were we! You can find all of this, and more, on Fundies Say the Darndest Things!
