[Vision2020] Church plans Quran-burning event: A local option

I agree, Keely.

 

The people that blatantly accuse the Obama administration of being
dictatorial and Nazi-like, are the very same people that support burning the
Q'uaran and support an immigration law requiring people to possess proof of
citizenship 24/7; a culture almost identical to Nazi Germany.

 

In the words of the TEA Party's mentor, George Bush Jr., "They hate us for
our freedoms."

 

Seeya round the commune, Moscow.

Aristotle and Wayne might be in disagreement over how rational human beings
-- particularly the religious among us are -- compared to animals, but
speaking as a religious human being, a Christian, I condemn the burning of a
book considered holy to roughly one-third of the world.  That I do not
choose to believe, nor to follow, the teachings of the Q'uaran doesn't
mitigate in the slightest my disgust that those who profess to share my
faith would behave in such an ugly manner.

1.    Some books such as scientific text books (medical texts, for example)
with outdated or otherwise erroneous information need to be destroyed to
prevent the consequences of actions resulting from these errors.  Composting
them is probably better than burning, however.

 

2.    The key phrase for those who missed it in my suggestion below is "with
just as much accuracy."  Think irony.  When statements result from religious
or other fantasies with probabilities infinitesimally close to zero, and no
critical decisive tests exist (save the tests for logical inconsistency) to
decide which fantasy has the probability closest to zero, any claims made by
believers based on either fantasy ought be seen for what they are and
reacted to accordingly.  In the case cited the reactions ought include
laughter, horror, and the sadness that comes with knowing that rationality
is far from distinguishes man from the other animals despite the claims of
Aristotle.

When you burn a book, you are saying to the world that you fear what is 
in that book.  Isn't it high time we stopped being afraid?
