re: #91 Aceofwhat?

I wouldn’t be fine with people burning the bible.

You know why?

Because I’m an atheist. And that means that I can, without personal interest, objectively, see that such a thing is done to send a message of hate, of intolerance and, if Christians were a small enough minority, of intimidation.

I don’t want laws against such things, or anything of the sort, but I do want to let the people who do this cowardly shit know that if they do start actively targeting Muslims in the open, that Americans will stand up for them.

I do feel that some of the elements of Nazi Germany are growing in the US. But I know that something else is here in the US; a history of Civil Rights, of disparate groups standing together against intolerance.

It can happen here. But it won’t. Because we’ll fight it.
