It is time to burn atheists!

[Ar Cosc]

Maybe he just really hates books, and is using this militant christianity thing as a front

I don't think this is real.

President Barack Obama, despite objecting to the burning of the Koran, has been burnt in effigy in Kashmir, where the American flag is also being burnt and 15 people have so far been killed in street battles with police.
When asked about Pastor Jones's new plan to torch Dawkins's magnum opus, the President said: ''It's sweet with me. Let reason be fuel for the bonfires of the faithful. As long as atheists aren't going to whomp on us from the ridge tops with AK47s, let the Pastor light up a complete set of Hitchens and Sam Harris as well.''

Anyone actually think a sitting president would say that?

The last line of the article was:

"*All quotes have been concocted ** for the purpose of clarity and truth."

**Bolding and underline added by me.

The article was meant as satire.

 

[RedDead1981]

Ahhh, I see now. I was just reading the responses in this thread and people were reacting as if this were really happening.

 

[Ayersy]

Awwwwww. Shame. Was hoping it was real.

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.

And your pot/kettle comment makes sense how?

The only way I am going to take this Pastor Jones guy seriously is if lights himself on fire!

His awesome facial hair is enough for me.

 

[KIYX]

Even if there were true my ability to care about it would be very very low.

Is lighting his facial hair on fire good enough?

I guess that would be alright, that would give him a little bit of credibility plus a very close shave.

If they were going to burn the athiests holybook they would choose Darwins books surely.

 

[SithDoughnut]

Just in case the OP and possibly other people still haven't noticed:

All quotes have been concocted for the purpose of clarity and truth.

 

[Exiledoomsayer]

Just in case the OP and possibly other people still haven't noticed:

Well I did notice.
I suppose I will alter the OP to include this..

 

[marshlewis]

Just in case the OP and possibly other people still haven't noticed:

Maybe the article was written in the biblical style and that line should be taken in context.

I can't believe I even clicked on this topic...

An Atopicist or just agnostic?

 

[poeticlurker]

LOLWUT.

The God Delusion is most certainly not the atheist holy book. There is no atheist holy book. Atheist literature is the atheist version of Christian literature (not including the Bible).

Terry Jones, folks, is an idiot who wants attention. Ignore him. [/hypocrite]

 

[laconicstudent]

Can you say "publicity hound?"

"hound" isn't the word I would use for it.

 

[TheNewWorldMan]

Neither would I, but this is a family program...
