Just put that in your sig already.

Its fairly obvious that A) You haven't even read the book to come to that conclusion and B ) You have no sense whatsoever of reality. If you think that hearing about smoking, or drinking in a book that is read in grade 10 is something morally objectional then I truly pity you because the fact is, most people in highschool are getting drunk by that point in time. It mirrors reality, simple as that. Not to mention it doesn't take the 'Lords name in vain" and the bible is actually read to the main character throughout the book(But hey, ignorance is a bliss). The fact is the book is about complete censorship, not just select books and it is a good method to get that message across. Destroying the little bit of decency left in this world? Then you must think any airing of news on TV is wrong and should be pulled, or any news in general because lets face it - none of that is about flowers and froliciling..which seems to be what you think we should be learning in highschool. I have actually read the book, yes for school and it was the single book that brought up the most debate in class and raised issues that we can actually relate to. What is worse is that these people are trying to do exactly what the book is about, censoring something because it may offend one group or another(For those of you who have read the book you will know what I am talking about). For those of you who don't, in the book it talks about the beginning of the end when it comes to censorship, no matter what the content one group or another will find it offending and raise and issue about it.

EDIT: Oh and as far as talking bad about firemen go, the firemen we know and those from the book have 0 similarities. They are bookburners, that is their job. It says nothing bad about current firemen whatsoever. Another case of flat out ignorance.

If that post was actually supposed to be sarcastic you came off wrong on it, seemed more you were another christian with a stick up his ass then anything(Mostly I say this because I know religious nuts that would post exactly what you did). It was also more of a rant at the actual complaint then you, I just mixed the two together to save typing .

We should put a disclaimer on his post, it wasn't as blatantly sarcastic as he might have thought.

I'm sick of people who talk non-stop about being 'politically correct' and 'non-offensive', and then turn around and bash christianity all the time.

Isn't that just a -tad- different though? The thief doesn't steal -because- he is black, nor 'gang shoot' as a product of his ethnicity. It's likely due to his upbringing or socioeconomic position.

Some nut complaining about some random nonsensical superstition they hold not being forced on everyone else though, that is a product of their religion. Thus I think it is fair to draw criticism on the religion itself that endorses this stupidity, since without that indoctrination the irrational and ridiculous behaviour would not be occuring.

I'm also really surprised the school actually formed a commitee in response to the complaint, and the the news report treated it seriously. That parents can cause such damage to their children's thinking is abominable, that it is accepted and perpetuated by society at large is much worse.

Oh? So you believe that Christianity teaches people to ban books? That every Christian is taught to ban books that mentions the burning of the Bible?

I believe my good True Christian® friends in Landover Baptist say it best. Yes, this is a parody site, so don't click if you are easily offended.

In other words, Here is a link to hate speach, let me pretend its not hate speach by telling you that if you are offended its not worth reading and its "only a joke". Yay tolerance!

We're not bashing all of Christianity. Christianity is, mostly, a loving and gentle religion.

But then there are Christian groups that are total assholes and need to get a goddamn clue. I'll bash those as much as I want, the same I would bash Muslim, Buddhist, Wiccan, or any other extremists. Fundamentalists are my problem, not religion.

If you want to bash Christianity, Bash thier concept of the Trinity all you like. But don't go around saying and suggesting that banning Books in America is some Christian concept, and don't go around saying "But the steryeotypes are true!" because thats pretty much the definition of being a biggot.

Don't be using debates about Stemcells, Censorhip, Education, Wars, American Politics to be defining Christianity. Those are not Christain issues any more than other issues, and making blanket statements about religions in regards to State politics is createing a scapegoat, as was done against Jews in Europe for over a thousand years.

If you want to debate Chrsitanity, debate things such as the pope, the trinity, baptism what have you. You know... actual Christain stuff.
