I had a book of mormon but I didn't destroy it. I donated it to the library. One day I may donate my bible to someone who wants it. Destroying books is odious in my eyes. Someting a nazi would do.
 
If a bunch of Buffy fans ripped up copies of Twilight, would we be so quick to condemn them?

The Bible, like Twilight, is just a crappy book. If someone is so attached to it that they get upset when someone else rips up a copy, then they obviously have skewed priorities. I have no plans to rip up a copy of either book but if someone else does I'll let the people who are actually offended by it complain. It's not my problem.

Then again, I am in no way a subscriber to the "Don't Be a Dick" approach.
 
If you are a Christian or Believer and atheism annoys you, PLEASE spread this simple statement to defend any RELIGION and bring down Atheism. "Atheism has a lack of belief in God(s), you use religion to form a lack of belief, do you believe in the proof of your lack of belief, since you think religion, the bible, isn't proof?"

Holy cow, that's a stundie to be sure!
 
Well, first of all, I just have a book thing. Don't rip up books, don't burn them, don't pitch them into a wood chipper. If you don't like what they say, don't read them again. Allow the free expression of ideas. Discuss what you don't like about them, what's wrong about them, whatever turns your page. But...just don't mess up books. 'Cause it's a book, mmmkay? :cool:

This.
There must be something special about paper, because I have no second thoughts about deleting a digital copy from my hard drive, which is essentially the same thing as burning a book.
 
It is not so much the destruction but the intention to annoy and piss people off. Like those people who bought iPads just to destroy on YouTube. The tech sites who bought and destroyed iPads to do stress testing I was okay with. The point was not antagonism nor just to upset people. Those who just destroyed iPads were just doing it to be dicks.

It is freedom of expression in my mind but I would not do it. I would not call for it to be outlawed or seek cultural punishment, but I would call those people dickish. I suppose the allowance I would give on this is those speaking against a specific grievance of oppression. For instance, if the point was a lgbt rally where the point was "Your book calls for my death, here is what I think of your book" it is still antagonistic but with a point behind it. Or those people who have been convicted of blasphemy in a Muslim Theocracy, destroying the Koran would be a fair protest in my mind. Though underwhelming in cases like Pakistan where the penalty is death.

Interesting report on the event.
 
I, too, have a bit of a fetish about physical books, and greatly dislike book destruction as a matter of principle. And, yes, it's essentially dropping to the level of other behaviors we have and do dislike.
 
Simply ripping the pages out of the bible will not weaken God enough to be brought down.
To bring the almighty power of God to an end once and for all the bible needs to be burned and all Christians hunted down and crucified.

That's what my lord and master Satan says anyway.
 
Daft idea. Burning Bibles, Burning Korans, Burning Harry Potter....it is dick territory.

Now writing a witty satire on any of the above - that is fair game :)

Although one will have to go a bit to top Life of Brian
