So...a bunch of stupid right wing Christians are at it again. I don't suppose any of you here are surprised in the least.

Christianity is filled with symbolic gestures. Catholics go through a ritual of eating the body of Christ and drinking his blood during their ritual Sunday mass. And some of you thought the ancient Druids were a wee bit too bloodthirsty. Symbolism and ritual are the cornerstone of religions everywhere.

I don't imagine this church ministry and it's planned book burning will have much of an effect here in the US, but it certainly will add to the problems Americans face overseas. This Dove church group and it's Terry Jones pastor are a fine example of why Christians need to be carefully watched.

The Dove church is already in the forefront of the news here in Florida by attacking the gay population for being, in their own words off their website: What is homosexuality? Detestable, indecent, wicked, offensive, perverted, shameful, unnatural, degrading, impure, futile, foolish, godless, dishonorable, a lie.

The victim of this stupid burning protest, in this case the Quran, is only the beginning. Next it will be witches, or maybe homosexuals. Some people have to destroy to further the cause of hatred, and in doing so fulfill their desires or their religious fervor. They would martyr a book to make their point and probably cause further bloodshed in the Middle East. Now there is a good Christian value.

If they are looking for a confrontation with Islam then I will make it easier. The Dove World Outreach Center is at 5805 NW 37th St.Gainesville, FL 32653. Maybe a nice door to door Quran salesman will show up there and greet them with a bang, we could only hope. It would only be fair considering the Bible says an eye for an eye or some such nonsense. I suggest they hold the book burning indoors, it's been a rainy summer season here in Florida. Churches are vast open spaces, good for a large bonfire, maybe the fire department will be on holiday then.

Age appears to be best in four things; old wood best to burn, old wine to drink, old friends to trust, and old authors to read. (Sir Francis Bacon 1561-1626)
