> They burn our flag. If American't retaliated and killed a bunch of Muslims, I doubt you'd post something blaming the Muslims.

I think that terrorists are the second biggest idiots in the world. The only ones more stupid than them are satanists. If somebody burns the American flag, what is the point? It changes and achieves nothing.

> The pastor, idiot that he is, has every right to burn the Koran.

Then anyone has the right to burn anything. If somebody wants to burn the American flag, then they have a right to do so according to that logic. But then, burning books is the recourse of the ignorant and the fearful, just like flag burning is.

> He could be ignored. But the radical idiot Muslims think less of innocent lives than they do some made up book by some false prophet. They are nuttier than that pastor every was or will be.

I know a lot of good Christians who thinks it is OK to send war planes and send 400,000 Iraqis to their deaths. But then I think Jesus did not exist, and if he existed, he was a false prophet too, because the actions of Christians show that the Bible is wrong and made up of a bunch of self-righteous lies.

In fact, maybe I should just host my own Bible burning trial. I will put the Bible on trial, and hold it guilty of having caused a hell of a lot of religious wars, not just between Christians and Moslems, but also between Catholics and protestants. Then having found it guilty of war crimes, i will incinerate the Bible with kerosene. Then when Christians get mad and protest I will say: Why are you angry? The book was written by a false prophet, or even worse, false god.

If I went downtown here and burned a Bible in our central square, I am convinced I would be dead within minutes, because when it comes down to it, there are Christians who are fanatics too and who act out of fear and ignorance, and who will justify killing in the name of higher principles.

As an atheist, all I see are religious hypocrites. People who claim higher moral principles, but who conveniently put them away for the sake of money and power. That pastor burned the Koran, not to prove that he is a good christian, but for the notoriety he would gain. He did not care if people got angry or died because of his actions. He got his 15 minutes of fame, and 12 people are dead because of it.
