re: #523 Obdicut

Because it’s funny? Who cares what the reason is.

Point is, the idiot in Florida set a small fire in a garbage can. A small group of barbarians in Afghanistan beheaded innocent people. The “offenses” aren’t even comparable.

The problem isn’t “desecration” (a rather pointless term invented by superstitionalists in the first place), it’s how people react to the burning of a commonly found book. I mean, Jesus, it’s not like he burned an original copy of Newton’s Principia.
