Hmm, I find some parts of the Bible pretty offensive. I plan to submit a
bug against the bible-kjv package listing the verses that I find offensive,
and request that the maintainer of that package either edit them out or find
less offensive replacements. He will also have the option of creating a
"bible-kjv-am" package which only includes the sections that I like.
