Nobody likes to be disrespected

[Klukie]

Isn't that what this whole book burning business is about? Christians feel disrespected by Muslims and Muslims feel disrespected by Christians and the burning of the book that they hold dear is just a blatant way of saying that someones beliefs aren't worth a shit. Nobody, including an Atheist, likes to be shat upon.

12. And you really think this Terry Jones gives a shit about Indonesian Christians?

Of course he doesn't.

[el_bryanto]

14. He may not care but I'd be surprised if he wasn't aware of them

The thesis of American Conservative Christians is that we are in a struggle with Islam, and they started it. Every little shred of evidence to support that thesis will be gathered.

15. Aware of them?

He probably doesn't see any difference between Indonesian Muslims and Indonesian Christians, and it it were up to people like him they'd all be exterminated.

19. It's possible that he's just racist (even likely) and hates brown people and therefore hates Muslims

But I think it's just as likely that he just hates Muslims and sees them as agressively attacking Christianity. In which case, he would come down on the Indonesian Christians side.

Christianity is an evangelical faith - Christians are supposed to take the "good word" throughout the world and supposed to support those who accept the Gospel.

3. True, but who here or anywhere else is truly respected at every turn. Shit happens.

[Klukie]

10. Very true...but sometimes we allow shit to happen.....

and sometimes we make shit happen.....and sometimes we ignore the shit that happens.

11. I agree, but I don't get what your point is.

[izquierdista]

7. Atheists can shrug it off

If they burned a pile of books by Dawkins, Ingersoll, and Hitchens, wouldn't bother me. Might even interest people in seeing what was so horrible and get them to buy more.

9. Can't imagine all of them could...

I have seen some rabid atheists on this board.

[HiFructosePronSyrup]

16. No you haven't.

[Klukie]

21. Why yes I have....and sometimes they are worse than the fundies

[HiFructosePronSyrup]

23. No, you haven't.

And I'd like to hear an example of what you're imagining as the atheists being "worse" than fundamentalists.

[Klukie]

8. Amazing how someone can unrecommend an obvious truth.

What a shame!

[HiFructosePronSyrup]

18. I think they're unrecommending your Terry Jones apologia.

[Klukie]

20. Bullshit.....for one thing I am agnostic, not christian ...if that makes it any better for you

and I am simply trying to point out the bullshit of the situation...I make no apologies for anyone! BTW I think what Terry Jones is doing is hateful and stupid.

[HiFructosePronSyrup]

22. I'm an astronaut.

You're trying to portray Jones as sympathetic, imagining some sort of slight against him at the hands of muslims.

And then you get all upset about atheists.

Rather hard to take you seriously. Not even including the whine about unrecs.

[ProgressiveProfessor]

13. Its more that disrespect, its intentional scariledge against islam designed to provoke

a violent reaction. It may well happen. Regardless, its still Constitutionally protected.

[deaniac21]

17. What about erotic humiliation?

[Klukie]

24. hahaha

well I guess they wouldn't like it if you didn't disrespect them well enough..lol
