Should we have more respect for Christianity?
When a Glasgow museum decides it's fair game to deface a bible, is this an insult to believers, or a valid expression of art? And would we be so disrespectful of the Koran or other religious texts? That was the topic on today's Morning Extra.
The artist, Jane Clarke, herself a Christian, had said she wanted people who felt marginalised to be able to write their stories back into the Bible. But the exhibit, which part of an exhibition about sexuality at Glasgow's Gallery of Modern Art, has been the subject of protest after Christian groups complained that visitors were writing obscene messages.
The Bible has now been placed in a glass case and the public will be able to write their comments in another book alongside.
