How does one say, "I am a Christian Degenerate" in German?

Christian Degenerate Calendar
Umar of Jihad of Umar posted a link to a recent BBC article about a German Christian youth group that has created an erotic "Biblical" calendar.

The 12 re-enacted passages feature a bare-breasted Delilah cutting Samson's hair and a nude Eve offering an apple.

Bernd Grasser, who is a church pastor in Nuremberg and is supporting the project, said, "It's just wonderful when teenagers commit themselves with their hair and their skin to the bible."

"There's a whole range of biblical scriptures simply bursting with eroticism," said Stefan Wiest, 32, who took the racy photographs.

Anne Rohmer, 21, wearing garters and stockings, posed on a doorstep as the prostitute Rahab. "We wanted to represent the Bible in a different way and to interest young people," she told news agency Reuters. "Anyway, it doesn't say anywhere in the Bible that you are forbidden to show yourself nude."

The Nuremberg-based group said they wanted to represent the Bible in a way that would entice young people.


One wonders what's next. Hookers for Christ?

As-Salaamu 'alaikum,

Small correction: the cult were called the "Children of God" at the time of the flirty-fishing business, which was stopped after AIDS became an issue (whether because they really believed they were vulnerable or because of fear of investigation I don't know). They became "the Family" later when they were trying to make themselves "respectable".
