"I'm sorry but your version of God isn't on the approved list"

The US Bureau of Prisons, undoubtedly with the best of intentions, has come up with an approved list of books relating to various religions and are purging prison libraries of any tomes that doesn't have official sanction. Books being excluded are any that might "discriminate, disparage, advocate violence or radicalize". I assume that means the Torah, the Old and New Testaments of the Christian Bible and the Koran are all now prohibited.
