It is time to burn atheists!

Exiledoomsayer · Sep 17, 2010

Or so Pastor Jones thinks (You may remember him from chickening out on burning the koran)

Book-Burning Shelved, It's Time To Commit Atheists To Flames

Ofcourse we are not talking about actual atheists, thats just me spicing the story up. The plan is to burn the atheists holy book "The god delusion".
So I think this is a good time to go ahead and have the atheist movement for goverment control show what it can do!

Lets show the world the proper way to respond to such a outrageous gesture, ill go first:

"Go ahead. I really do not care." - Exiledoomsayer

Thoughts? (This has got to be fake right?)

Doesnt sound true but if it is Dawkins will be pleased with the extra income/publicity, sure let them go ahead.

lawtonfogle · Sep 17, 2010

Lets give Dawkins ever more money from book sells. And more publicity. And even then, you aren't burning their holy book, just a book some random guy wrote. Really, if you want to make a big statement, you are going to have to burn an atheist.

I don't this is real. But even so, who cares? It isn't a holy scripture... I've read it, and it isn't exactly a life changing book like the Bible or Quran. It's not going to make that much of a statement.

JesusFreak4L · Sep 17, 2010

I honestly don't see what the big deal is about this even if it is true...It isn't a holy book like the above poster has said. But Im not sure if this is real...

Why burn when you can recycle? It's better for the planet.

Atheist holy book? OK. Knock yourself out. It is not my holy book so I don't care. Now if you where talking about burning the Lord Of the Rings...

Can you say "publicity hound?"

Well, when we reward people for being idiots, what do we expect?

If he goes through with it, he can be sure to get a very mild 'apathy threat' from me!

Ar Cosc · Sep 17, 2010

What is going through this man's mind?!

"I know what will really show Richard Dawkins; We'll all go and spend money on buying copies of his book, then destroy them in the way guaranteed to give him the most publicity"

He won't go messing with christianity again in a hurry!

It's the statments like this that convince me that this is a parody/hoax.

Dad was an athiest. I doubt he even knew of Dawkins book. Some call me an athiest, untrue, I'm agnostic. I make no claim to direct of verifiable knowledge of any god. I know of Dawkins, but have not read any of his stuff.

Athiests have no sacred works, no sacred places. Perhaps the world would be better off with only athiests. From what I have seen the vast majority of athiests belong to no school or group of athiesm and have not sacred cows to fight about.

One day I'm going to ghost write a fairly bland, mild book. But I will interlace into it a few questionable characters--maybe a witch or blasphemer. After it is published I'll wait a year or two, then I will start a fundamental, evangelical church that will take offense at the book. I'll start a big rally, hold book burnings and generally get the rest of the fundamentalist on my side.

Then I will sit back and watch the money come in.

You say that the world will be better off exclusively atheist, giving atheists something to fight for- then claim that atheists won't fight on the grounds of religion.

I hope he does, it'll only help Dawkins, in the end.

It's just ink and paper, why has he got an obsession with trying to incinerate books?

Maynard Keenan · Sep 17, 2010

I dislike the idea of book burning in general, but if this guy wants to buy some copies and increase publicity for Dawkins/atheism while making himself look foolish, by all means go ahead. Not going to be too many atheists offended by some kooky guy burning some paper. Can all but guarantee there won't be threats of violence, or whining about how he's being insensitive.

Gecko King · Sep 17, 2010

it was reported yesterday that Pastor Terry Jones had given up on his plans to burn 200 Korans and was instead planning to incite atheists by soaking a gross of Richard Dawkins's The God Delusion in moonshine and putting a match to them

If I wrote a book and someone was about to burn a copy, I'd also wished that they soaked it in moonshine, or whiskey perhaps.

It is time to burn atheists!
