The Daily Mail reports some Christians are unhappy at an illustrated book that accurately depicts the tales of rape and incest in the Bible.
He [the author] has said he does not believe that the Bible is the word of God. "I take it all for myth from start to finish, with probably some faint relation to historical reality." he said.
The response from the Christian Institute:
If you are going to publish your own version of the Bible it must be done with a great deal of sensitivity [sensitivity, sensitivity, sensitivity]. The Bible is a very important text to many many people and should be treated with the respect it deserves.

The idea of millions of people taking this so seriously is totally nuts [ . . . ]. The Bible doesn't need to be satirised. It's already so crazy.R. Crumb, US cartoonist Crumb zaps the Bible
