Every religion should get together and just have a mass holy book burning event, Two birds with one stone, It'll bring unity and peace.

I didn't read all posts... but here we are again... religious whackos getting their panties in a bunch over some books, telling one fairy tale or another.

Religion... the root of all evil... the root of all problems... the root of all war. Morons.

We should burn and shoot and what ever to all religious so called! holy books.What is so holy about each of them....if you look at each book they all contain murder in the name of GOD.What kind of holy books are those.I am including all religious books not just the bible.

Somebody said it should be no big deal because when they burned the new testament they did not have any "allegiance" to the book. Implying that no malice was involved because they do not follow the teachings of Jesus. I would say that this is rather naive because they have an allegiance to something that inspires them to burn a religious book. They are so concerned with religious zeal they have lost touch with all of the basic humanistic thoughts taught by all religions. But granted extremists are in every faith including Christians, Jews, Hindus and most recently Islamic circles. A truly decent group would have at least recycled the paper anyway!

It also reminds me when atheists say that they adhere to no religion. In all reality their religion is based on the fact they do not believe in a god. They follow a set of very fanatical religious beliefs that random chance/natural science created the universe etc.. I find atheists to be some of the most religious people I have ever meet. Its Funny how the concept of the creator is always lurking in the background!

They burn the most famous book ever written by Jews? Sounds like an inferiority complex.

So Christians shot up the Koran...Jews burned the Bible...what are the Muslims going to do to the Torah? This whole religious debacle is frustrating. I am starting to think the communist crackdown on religion was not such a bad idea, they never seemed to have these kinds of problems.

They ought to toss the vile Old Testament and Koran into the bonfire while they're at it. It's all garbage.

Don't worry about the burning of the Bible even though it is the word of God.

Would God rather us Christians retaliate, kill, scorn and descend into sin because of this or would he have us "Love your neighbor as yourself" and forgive?

How many will you lead to God by stoning?

Show the world that his word doesn't just live within the pages of a book....show them how it lives within you!

Ouch. Ok. Well, you are entitled to your opinion. As a Christian I cannot agree with what they did, however...

send in the marines!

Why? I hope you're not calling for militant violence against the Jews over this.

'Heaven and Earth will pass away but my words will never pass away.' ~Jesus.

Bibles have been burned for centuries by one party or another. However, the above is Jesus' promise to us. So why call for action [and possibly violence- I wasn't sure what you were implying] against the Jews?

I understand your offense but take comfort in the promise He gave to us. We're to turn the other cheek and love our enemies (although I don't consider the Jews our enemies).

Hope that helps.

Ignorance is rampant among all the religions.

A book is a book, a thought is a thought, but an action is final.
If everyone realized that faith comes from themselves and not from a symbol then there would be no need to try to destroy others.

Anyone that looks down upon or feels superiority over another is not a true religious person, just another brainwashed freak that likes to think that whatever they do is justified and backed by their deity.

Books are a form of knowledge, whatever the book.
Destruction or suppression of knowledge goes against the flow of life.

there u go encouraging war because of another dispute involving religion.....wow

suspcious, says i!

i think jesus summed it up nicely, the kingdom of God is within you.
you are the temple of God. the shekinah no longer resides in a building!
the book is not God, it's a book about God but it ain't God and God ain't in it.
God dwells in the believer. the words are written on the believer's heart.
the bible is a handy book to have around but it does not define ultimately what it means to be a christian. The holy spirit does that.

Perhaps if I was a religious person that would make sense, however I'm not nor claim to be so your thought of such is incorrect. You should pay more attention.
