Issue appears to be rectified now after refreshing repositories. Was probably some neckbeard no-lifer who wanted to “epicly rek” Religious folk.

    I think it is a reasonable classification. There are adult themes which include sexual violence, sex with children, murder of essentially every type, slavery, and genocide. The stories are full of difficult material that a child should not be exposed to casually. If you say that kids should not be exposed to R rated movies because they lack the context to understand what is happening and it could therefore be harmful then the same has to apply to the bible. It also should apply to basically every religious text given the various awful ways women are treated, especially in the Abrahamic faiths.

    Should the apps be banned? No, not at all. Should they be censored? No, people should be able to look at what they want and read it, even if it is full of difficult material. But should it show up if you have selected to not have adult material shown? Well, if that filter is to mean anything then it should block porn and the bible for the same reason.

      Shouldn’t religious texts perhaps have their own category? So someone can see religious apps but won’t be seeing porn

        Absolutely, I would be keen on a separate category, but if not then maybe rebrand the category to "Adult themes"or similar.

        Sure, I’d be all for having choices of filters. Violence, sex, religion, what have you. Regardless though, you’ll have to face the fact that given how varied the contents in the Bible are, it’s likely to trigger multiple filters.

        It is all about porn, violence, gore, racism that is part of the bible. Why should any book be excempt under the law?

          The Bible isn’t all about porn, violence gore or racism.

            No, not in all parts. But it does contain those parts. So either provide a pre-censored version of it, or fall under the “decency” laws. Just like everybody else.
