    Did ya read it first? If not your just another ignorant book burning nazi.
    If ya read it first,well was it worthy of flames?
    If your worried about "God" strinking ya down,uhm you nor the fact that ya burned a book is that important.Anyhow seeing that your an athiest,what God.
    Burn a set of rosary beads and say three "to hell with marys"

    I still haven't burned the Mormon Bible I have. I never will. Maybe I'll read it instead.
    I decided to do it but never got around to it before my pyro-phase ended.

    I myself, have troubles with the "fear of God" in me. Just remember, most all of us fear death as humans, and you were trained at a very young age to think that Heaven/Hell were our final destinations.

    It's a miracle you got yourself out of that one. It will pass - or you'll revert back - or you'll die in your sleep and it will have REALLY passed.

    You're starting to wake up a little. It's a starting point.

    Atheists go on about religion allot more than religious people,I think they are trying to convince their selves more than anyone else!

    I burned one once too...I needed to clean up and just couldn't throw it out...and it wasn't nice enough to give away....so I figured burning it was the only good way to dispose of it.

    burning is a great way to return things to the Earth.

    Okay- some personal attack garbage has been trimmed. Any further will such attacks result in more than just posts trimmed.

    Peace

    Well, first of all, it primarily bothered me because it hit me during the burning that we were burning a book. Not a holy book, just the fact that we were burning A book. Books are beautiful to me. Sources of man's collective information and a reflection of humanity.

    That's not what this thread is about though. I'm confident in my view that it's ignorant and arrogant to pretend any of us actually knows the secrets of the universe. I see a certain nobility in simply accepting that we don't understand everything, and to only believe what we know to be true, and simply leaving what we don't know to be true as a possibility to be considered.

    When I was around twelve my parents started taking me to church regularly again for some reason. Every day I listened to the preacher preach hatred of homosexuals, and that any who dared disobey the almighty God would be sent to hell. To me it seemed to be a religion of hate and slavery, things of that nature. That is the primary reason I began questioning what had been hammered into my head for so many years, and that evolved into me stepping back and simply taking the objective view that nobody really knows.
