Specifically, Song of Solomon.
Song of Solomon holds the distinction of being the only book of the Bible you can feel a little guilty about reading. It's a love story, and it does not hold back on the torrid romance.
We were talking about what verses stuck out to us, what deeper meanings they might possess when I recounted a funny story from my fundamentalist high school.
For our senior year, we got to choose a Bible verse to go in the yearbook next to our senior portrait. Since, even then, I really enjoyed messing with fundies, I picked a verse from Song of Solomon. (Honestly, it was one of the tamer verses from Song of Solomon.) I chose Solomon 1:2, "Let him kiss me with the kisses of his mouth, for thy love is sweeter than honeywine."
Pretty, right? Eh, my school didn't think so. Whereas every other senior had a Bible verse printed next to their name, I did not. They just printed a small reference, "Sol. 1:2".
I was recounting this to my friend and, instead of laughing, she looked incredulous. "Your Christian high school censored the Bible?"
