While I don't want any books burned, I wish some were never written. I had to read some books by Pearl Buck for school. My head still hurts when I think about them.
The only book I'll burn is a book of matches, but I've got some contempt for any cook book that tells me to eat healthily and how to make low fat meals. I'm naturally underweight and nothing I do helps so it's a pain in my backside when I'm told to eat healthily because it's actually quite an unhealthy thing for me to do. So no, I won't make a low fat burger you cretin; tell me how to make one that tastes like the ones that The King makes, or at the very least like that red-haired clown.
THE BIBLE, QU'RAN and EVERY OTHER RELIGIOUS BOOK IN EXISTENCE!
But moreso those Twilight books.
But moreso those Twilight books.
Just Twighlight, the entirety of the series, it pisses me off because I am a guy and I get angry at how badly portrayed women are in it. Think back to how much of that book is a girl pining after a guy who treats her like crap.
Ofcourse this is a matter of opinion. But i thought the bible well written, to have some good stories and actually put across some great guidelines. I would go ahead and take the guess that you havent read it but copy it out as the worst part of the christian religion?Azure-Supernova said:
*OT* Danish/german dictionary. I, hate, that, book.
Ummmm... no... I haven't read it and I was cold and the only wood we could find was damp... I didn't specifically pick the bible to burn as an attack on Chrisitianity. I burned it because the alternative to it was our socks.Nikolaz72 said:
in the end of things Dawkin's is just another religious extremist, he just spews a different message. Atheism is no less a religion then Christianity, it follows are just as willing to shove their beliefs (or lack there-of) down the throats of anyone who dares to have a difference of opinion. and with Atheism it worse because at-least Christians believe that are trying to save the souls of others then they do it.craddoke said:
Frankly any religious books, for I believe they are merely the result of a group of people trying to get other people to join their group en invest in the, later becoming the church and so on. I wouldnt burn them, i respect anyone who wants to read them, also it would be a shame of the paper, it's perfect to use it as uhm... toilet paper. For those who can't buy regular toilet paper because the donated all their money to the church.
Anyway religious stuff aside, there are other books I wan't to burn, no not the twilight saga, not yet atleast.
The books of harry potter after the third one, simply because they are merly milking the saga, they are not good, or original and just like remakes of games, or bad sequels (you know like the opposide of mass effect 2 and such). They should be burned and, as Yathzee (GO WATCH ZERO PUNCTUATION) mentioned more than once, their creators should be banishd to a seperate part of Hell. Or whatever place they go to after their deaths.
Toilet paper.

I think this is a line of bull - atheism is about accepting the fact that there is no evidence for the supernatural and that reason therefore dictates we live based on the hypothesis that there are no supernatural forces. What you say about a "live and let live" philosophy being superior makes sense on the level of the individual, but communities (local, national, international) also have to decide whether they're going to act as if they believe in the supernatural or not. There is no middle ground since certain policies (e.g., abortion rights, obscenity laws, equal rights) will differ dramatically based on the community's decision. In my opinion, the only ethical choice is for a community to function as an atheistic state (you can substitute "agnostic" if that makes you feel better, but practically there is no difference). I would say that the apparent "aggression" of atheists in recent years is a direct response to renewed efforts by deists (mostly conservative Christians and Muslims) to undermine the atheist foundations of modern government/society.ANImaniac89 said:
I can't say that I have hated a book that much to be quite honest with you. I am not going to say Twilight because even though I myself hated it and couldn't even get halfway through the first book, if it gets people to read then thats surely a bad thing. They may start with "Twilight" and then move on to something like "Dracula" or Edgar Allen Poe so even if books like "Twilight" and "Harry Potter" get at least one kid to read then thats by no means a bad thing. If there is something you dislike, just try and avoid it.
Arguably, isn't porn for men just as pointless (no pun intended)? I mean, it has a 1 dimensional plot and less developed characters then Twilight, and porn writing never has been that good. Unless you're reading Alan Moore's porn, which is freaking AMAZING.Talshere said:
