I'm just glad he's not ripping out Ecclesiastes. If he did that I'd throw away all of my Lord of the Rings DVDs.

LOL it is a shame he is being so foolish....he was an excellent, gifted actor in that series. Me thinks thoughts of his eventual death is catchin' up with him.

I'll freely admit to doing it, too.

Usually, though, I just write something on the inside cover, like "Thanks for reading my book!" and sign it "Love, Jesus."

This makes absolutely no sense.
Keep it simple.
Ever wanted to destroy or remove something you found vile and offensive?
I think he's showing a lot restraint not destroying the entire book.

While I disagree with defacing a book you don't own, I can see the point he's making.
The vast majority of Christians, while they don't literally remove the pages, do generally ignore the rules in Leviticus.


I've heard the argument many times that the dietary laws don't apply and the moral ones do or similar mental gymnastics but I'm pretty sure theres nowhere in the Bible that specifies 'Rules 1-6 are still valid, rules 7-20, exclulding 13, no longer apply.'

nah, it be foolish, to sit in a hotel room, find the Bible in the drawer, and search for those partticular verses, and proceed to rip them out....and it hints at the fact he may have done this on a regular basis
