Why'd you have to go and make it creepy?

Nothing says sexy and fun like an erotic Bible calendar put together by a German Protestant youth group, right? Heck, I might go so far as to call the idea educational and inspirational as well.
Anne Rohmer, 21, poses on a doorstep in garters and stockings as the prostitute Rahab, who is mentioned in both New and Old Testaments. “We wanted to represent the Bible in a different way and to interest young people,” she told Reuters.

“Anyway, it doesn’t say anywhere in the Bible that you are forbidden to show yourself nude.”
Testify, Sister Anne!

But just when you think this is going to be some good, um...clean fun, some pervy Euro-creep has to come along and wreck everything...
Bernd Grasser, pastor of the church in Nuremberg where the calendar is being sold, was enthusiastic about the project which is explained online at www.bibelkalender.de.

“It’s just wonderful when teenagers commit themselves with their hair and their skin to the Bible,” he said.
Ewwwww. Now I feel all dirty about it. Thanks a lot, Pastor Bernd.

Here's your comment. You can stop begging now. At least you got linked.

You might consider getting off blogspot. It's kinda wonky.

I thought you supposed to slap on some fig leaves or something... a nude calendar might lead to dancing.

This story is useless without pictures.

There's at least one NSFW pic from the calendar at the German site mentioned in the article, anon. Nothing to write home about, though.

I'm sorry we no longer validate without a purchase.
