Koran book burning

[gargantuan]

It's a bit late in the day now, since this has pretty much blown over. But this story never sat right with me for a few reasons.

Primarily though, It's simply wasn't news worthy. Any journalist who covered this story is far more dangerous than some whack-job pastor from the arse end of no-where because they know that putting this story front and centre is only going to aggravate the whack-jobs on the other side.

It's almost the equivalent of someone putting a cat and a dog in the same cage, then shaking it up to make them fight, and then blaming the cat and the dog for the inevitable carnage that will follow.

The world is full of idiots. more often than not, it's best to just ignore them.

agreed, but sensationalism sells in consumerist countries at the end of the day.

Should I do it?

[Watson]

No. It does nothing but make you exactly like him. Don't stoop to his level.

... I wish not to hear the point of view of one that is dedicated to the book I wish to burn, I wish to hear the voice of my fellow atheists. This is what we call a peaceful protest, I don't agree with the bible so I metaphorically destroy the teachings.

How so dear watson?

You can't burn a idea.

To burn a book because you disagrees with the contents is one of the scarier,stupid and ignorant acts a human being can commit,in my opinion..

To do so out of indifference for the feelings of others is stupid and potentially self harming,

I feel it is a way for me to finally relieve myself of the stupid "morals" I was taught (all of those commandments in Exodus).
