I think the stuff not “for children” is what Sister is speaking of. Don’t you think that some of this stuff that is not “for children” is embarrasing to some prudish adults?

"Embarrasing to prudish adults" hits the nail on the head, IMO. A couple of years back, another FReeper took great umbrage over "filthy rags" (Isaiah 64:6) being a reference to (to try and put it delicately) the by-product of a woman's monthly cycle. This FReeper insisted that the verse was being mistranslated. But I think we can agree with how a Catholic thread stated the matter last month:

As Isaiah noted, the best of our “good works” are viewed by God with all the contempt we would have for used menstrual rags. Thank God, Jesus is our righteousness.

Oh for cryin' out loud. She means the first eleven chapters of Genesis are nonsense and that G-d never commanded the Israelites to exterminate the Canaanites (even though the Torah explicitly commands this). She's saying that those portions were written by "stone age savages" who only "thought" G-d commanded those things. In other words, she's rejecting the total inspiration and inerrancy of scripture.
