How can the Bible be on the list it was written before the 19th century. Why don't read the thread before making lame comments.

It's on the Most Dangerous of All Time list.

How does the Kinsey report make that list??

Was it put together by a staunch Catholic or something?

WTF?

"...The 1953 book also included reports of sexual activity involving girls younger than age 4, and suggested that sex between adults and children could be beneficial.”

Absolute bullshit. Whoever made this list should have actually read the books. I read them years ago and NEVER saw any such suggestion. This actually stems from the backlash from very conservative groups that sought to diminish Kinsey's research and keep sexual knowledge, and freedome taboo.

I don't know what the movie says (yet), but I now recognize the bullshit from the short blurb on that website.

BTW wasn't Catcher in the Rye supposed to be a damaging book too?
