Burning the Bible

[Erinome]

If someone were to spank me with a bible, I would melt into a puddle of legs spread. I once showed up at my lover's home, unexpected, carrying a bible, dressed all sexy-secretary-ish, and told him I was there to tell him about the lord. It was a hot afternoon. Too bad we neglected to think up a bible spanking.

Well... I'll just say it had the desired effect and leave it at that.

[Norfolk And Chance]

Surely everybody knows that the lord won't let you burn bibles. The bibles simply wouldn't burn on a fire, thus proving god's existence for once and all.

[Erinome]

He does allow using the bible as a kinky sex paddle, and as a prop to add more fun to sodomy. Proof that things like that are OK with Mr. God.

[Jackalope]

I can attest to that. I was half expecting to turn into a pillar of salt.

[Erinome]

I bet that instead, your pillar shot out some salty stuff!

[Jackalope]

I'll never tell, at least not in public. LOL

I think it's be really cool if a big bible burning day could be organised where loads of people just burnt bibles and threw them on bonfires together in some city.

I find it to be a pointless endeavor. Burning any book only ever really increases its power.

Try taking a book from someone, telling them they cannot read it, burn it, post the burning and your objections to it on the internet and watch its sales skyrocket.

Maybe if more people actually read the thing they'd realize it was all a pile of crap arther thanblindly signing at the bottom of it.

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.

How would u improve it?
U could rewrite it so it was well written and readable like a Stephen King book or something or do u want to add bits in to make the stories more exciting

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.

The only reason for burning one is to annoy some dumb shit who thinks it is "holy" instead of assholy and who would be worked up to a frenzy by the idea of burning it.

An idea which, I admit, has some attractiveness!
