Atheist book burning

[Napoléon]

I absolutely hate book burning. It reminds me of Nazi Germany. I can't belive any thinking person would burn a book. Honestly for me, my reaction is stronger to a burning book than it is to the burning of my nation's flag. This is the second thread that I've read here related to burning bibles or other books. I truly hope this is not something that anyone finds acceptable.

Talk about being melodramatic. It's fucking paper. Who honestly cares?

I could care less whether people burn these books. I personally find it completely pointless but if it's someone else's favourite pass time I couldn't give a fuck.

I don't believe in censorship (except child porn).

This is not censorship.

That's not exactly the worst thing the Nazis did, it feels like you're forgetting the actual bad stuff they did.

Well I truly hope you learn the difference between symbolism and violence, and there is a pretty big effing difference.

Of course I understand that burning books was not the worst of the Nazi's atrocities, and burning crosses is not the worst thing done by the Klan. When I see a group of people burning books, I think of the Nazis and when I see a group of people burning crosses,mi think of the Klan.

Of course I understand the difference between symbolism and violence.


You are entitled to your opinion and gut reactions to what you see as I am entitled to mine. When I see people burning books, my reaction is disgust.

Fair enough.

Agreed

Just leave the Libraries and Book Stores alone and you can burn all the books YOU OWN!!

Bill O'Reilly wouldnt say Atheism is dying if he wasnt deathly afraid of it, he even thinks he beat Richard Dawkins on his show...wow

Tide goes in, tide goes out. You can't explain it.

Hey guys, i found this video on youtube. Its a group of atheists burning multiple religious texts which includes the bible, koran, torah, wicca, tripitaka, dianetics etc.

What is your opinion on this? Feedback would be appreciated

Well, that's quite a feat, burning a couple of books that they payed for.
That's my opinion.
