to make this more general: why should anyone care about a written text
some years ago - for this discussion it is not important how old the
text is - and see it as more significant than another text written
some years ago?
if I am not religious I may read this (for you) sacred text with
interest but have questions about (current) morality.
and for that view you have the same questions about the newer text.
because it is about morality.
in my opinion, both texts show the morality _at that time_. so why
hide one of the texts and not the other one?
that is why the newer (for you offensive texts) are in a different
package. not installed by default, but by choice. you do not have to
install it, but you can.
