Burning the Bible

[Cinjin]

I'd do something that would almost certainly piss off fundamental theists more-so than actually burning it.

Rewriting the Bible, and improving it as a work of fiction.

It's been done. Thomas Jefferson took a stab at it. The Jefferson Bible

. . . Thomas Jefferson believed that the ethical system of Jesus was the finest the world has ever seen. In compiling what has come to be called "The Jefferson Bible," he sought to separate those ethical teachings from the religious dogma and other supernatural elements that are intermixed in the account provided by the four Gospels. He presented these teachings, along with the essential events of the life of Jesus, in one continuous narrative.

My thoughts on burning the bible are this ...

If you're going to burn it, burn it for the same reason you burn a phone book.

Your phone book is outdated, you want a warm fire -- you need some startin paper. If the book truly means nothing as many of us profess, than burning a bible should get no more pomp & circumstance than using an expired phone book for campfire fuel.

Throw it on there and be done with it. If it makes you feel bettter - that's just a personal bonus.
