A row broke out in Portugal on Monday after a
Nobel Prize-winning author denounced the Bible as a "handbook
of bad morals".
Speaking at the launch of his new book "Cain", Jose
Saramago, who won the 1998 Nobel Prize for Literature, said
society would probably be better off without the Bible.
Roman Catholic Church leaders accused the 86-year-old of a
publicity stunt.
The book is an ironic retelling of the Biblical story of Cain,
Adam and Eve's son who killed his younger brother Abel.
At the launch event in the northern Portuguese town of Penafiel
on Sunday, Saramago said he did not think the book would offend
Catholics "because they do not read the Bible".
