Sex an' the Bible

Don't agree with everything in this article but still an interesting take on the subject. Does not surprise me that the "conservatives" are up in arms.

That’s why Albert Mohler, president of the Southern Baptist Theological Seminary, that citadel of Christian conservatism, concludes that one’s Bible reading must be overseen by the proper authorities. Just because everyone should read the Bible “doesn’t mean that everyone’s equally qualified to read it, and it doesn’t mean that the text is just to be used as a mirror for ourselves,” he says. “All kinds of heresies come from people who read the Bible and recklessly believe that they’ve understood it correctly.”

This type of thinking is what is so scary about any organized religion. Just who are the qualified? And isn't the reading of the bible supposed to be a personal thing?
