get a book listed that a book that they claim is banned, but which
in fact is far from that (if their rational holds, the bible is
banned book).
I would not be suprised to find that the bible has been banned at
some point in histoty.
The Bible *has* been banned, at several points in history. For example,
it was banned during the Cultural Revolution in China, and its sale
remains regulated today. And, as we all know, individual translations
of the Bible (e.g. into German or English) were frequently banned in
Mediaeval Europe.
The world is very big and very old.
