"Burn the Quran" day

[Henry Hawk]

Is it still news if nobody watches the coverage?

nope

[Bo D]

sadly but yes!!..it was another 'shot', but yet there is a small amount of truth to my statement.

Is that like being partially pregnant?

Despite calls to halt plans for a Quran burning from Gen. Petraeus, Secretary of State Hillary Clinton and former Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin, radical preacher Terry Jones says he is moving forward with what he claims are instructions from God.

Now it should be clear why atheists and agnostics are so outspoken against religion.  This fuckin' nutjob thinks he's doing what "god told him to do" just like the nutty Muslims think they're doing what god wants them to do in defending their dumb-ass holy book.

I say we burn every fucking bible and every fucking Quran, expunge religion from human thought, and call it even.     Belief in a deity is the absolute vilest of memes in the history of the human race.

You're damn right!  I'm sick of stupid people who believe in wacky ass shit doing stupid things in the name of their Sky Daddy.    That fucking preacher is so stupid that he doesn't understand that the shit he believes in is just as nutty, wacky, and loony as the shit the Muslims believe in.

C'mon PH.

Quit beatin' around the bush and tell us how you really feel.

[Palehorse]

nope

Then, given the fact that a certain "supreme being" has been reputed to have provided free will to its loyal subjects, they have the ability to make this a non-event simply by choosing to refuse to watch it. No?

C'mon PH.

I think you menat Locutus, but for the record my perspectives mirror those he has related.

  As an Atheist I don't give a damn what the religious nut cases do.  Except when then are trying to change the laws to screw with the rest of us. 

  Let the dumbass burn Korans .  As long as he's fucking with the Muslims he not screwing with the rest of us.

Okay. . . I think this jackass is indeed trolling for attention and he has achieved that goal. So now what?

Everybody that is anybody is coming out with statements that strongly indicate their disagreement with this idiot's actions, but the problem is our constitution directly supports his right to carry through with his stated plan. Millions of us have fought and given our lives in support of this very ideal, and I see no reason to change it now.

Let him burn them, let him have his moment in the limelight, and if his actions/words result in the additional deaths of innocent human beings around the world, let him wear their blood and carry direct responsibility for them.

If he ends up with a C4 enema delivered by an extremist sector of another religion, you cannot say he was not deserving of it; for his words and actions are inflammatory and inciting toward those who hold an extremist perspective. On all sides of this.

I do agree that the media is feeding this, but what's done is done, and it cannot now be changed. One has to hope that those in control of the media will learn the lesson surrounding the power they hold to control what the people of the world pay attention to. Then again, perhaps that is the very idea behind why this jackass is so much of a headline today? They are proving the point that when you own the information you can bend it all you want.

AND I AM SICK OF PEOPLE BEING DISRESPECTFUL OF MY GOD!!!.....I can't help the fact there are nuts in this world, and this guy IS a moron.......but, there some on the other end of the spectrum who are pushing to hard, and getting a just as mouthy, that will eventually force some of us, who have never harmed anyone with our beliefs to start swinging back.  I have nor will I shove my beliefs down anyones throat, but I will stand on principals that I have learned through my faith.

The problem here is the same as with other things...one bad apple spoils the whole bunch...or...one nutjob gives the rest a bad name.   People just choose to make more of an issue of things if it's something they don't agree with anyway and I think we're all guilty of that too.

Who exactly is it that's being disrespectful to your god?  Is pointing out the that you believing in your god is just as nutty as the Muslims believing in their god disrespecting your god? 

I'm sorry HH, but if we ever are to progress as humans, for the common good of everyone, religion has to go.  It's outdated and antiquated software of the brain that may very well kill us all if some of us (you and those like you) don't start thinking critically and stop believing in stupid nonexistent BS from times gone by.  There is no difference in the nutty shit the Muslims believe in and the nutty shit that the Christians believe in.  No difference.

"Faith means making a virtue out of not thinking. It's nothing to brag about. And those who preach faith, and enable and elevate it are intellectual slaveholders, keeping mankind in a bondage to fantasy and nonsense that has spawned and justified so much lunacy and destruction."  --- Bill Maher
