Good Old Tennessee book burning!

[Harpy Eagle]

Mr ‘I’m a Libertarian’ hates people destroying their own property.

I think it is hilarious that these people paid money to the demonic authors of the books just so they could burn them.

And I do hate the ignorance that leads to a book burning, there nothing about being a Libertarian says one has to agree with everyone 100%.

BTW: libs are also burning books though they probably didnt buy them but rather stole them someplace

‘This is who they are’: Portland protesters filmed burning Bibles and American flag amid violence in city - Washington Examiner

Portland protesters were filmed burning Bibles and the American flag as protests continue in the city for more than two months. Republican Texas Sen. Ted Cruz responded to a Friday video of people burning what was described as a “stack of Bibles” on Twitter Saturday, saying, “This is who they...

So your side does it too

I do not have a side, but yes both sides are pretty much the same....been saying that for a couple decades now.

Yeah……an obscure, tiny church guy….versus the entire establishment of Hollywood, the press, the professors at almost every university and college amd the leadership of the democrat party and it’s goon squads of BLM, and antifa that burned and looted minority neighborhoods for 7 months.……?

Yeah….you have no point, you lame ass….

The left is banning people from Amazon, social media, spotify, getting professors fired, getting people kicked out of their jobs over fake chinese flu science?

All the centers of power are controlled by left wingers like you and you are in hyperdrive banning human beings as well as their books, comedy, acting…

Do you not see it? Or are you just really that stupid?

You poor little victim.

Amazingly, whenever a minority does anything, you attribute their behavior to an entire race...

Like burning the American flag, it’s a display of what you’re against.
And like flag burning, it’s stupid and meaningless.

Finally something we can agree on...both are stupid and meaningless and both are legal and should be...as long as you did not steal what you are burning

Guy sounds like a nut

Agreed. Apparently this Pastor criticized Republican Gov. Bill Lee because he ordered the National Guard to assist hospitals during the height of the pandemic.

 

[JOSweetHeart]

You mean they decided not to listen to their music? And? They smeared the country over seas, their fans didn't appreciate that......big difference.....

True, but still, a lot of their material was destroyed because of where they chose to stand on certain issues.

God bless you always!!!

that they deem are a threat to their religious rights and freedoms and belief system."

This is as ignorant as it is ridiculous.

Only government has the potential to violate the right to religious practice, not books written by private persons and published by private publishers.

 

[C_Clayton_Jones]

The authors will be keen to have their names made public as a good book burning is a huge boost to sales of the book.

Correct – something the authoritarian right doesn’t understand.

 

[C_Clayton_Jones]

So what's his and your point?

It’s to propagate the rightwing lie that religion is somehow ‘under attack’ and that persons of faith are ‘victims’ of some nefarious secular conspiracy.

Greg Locke, head pastor at Global Vision Bible Church, held a book burning event Wednesday night, and urged followers to burn "evil garbage" like young adult fantasy books, tarot cards, "voodoo dolls and crystals."

Pastor holds bonfire to burn to 'witchcraft' books like 'Twilight'

Tennessee Pastor Greg Locke claimed that the church had a "constitutional right and a Biblical right" to burn "occultic materials" like the "Harry Potter" and "Twilight" books.

www.nbcnews.com

Harry Potter and other crappy stuff. No loss.

No loss for the authoritarian right, perhaps – who seek to compel conformity and silence dissent; that conservatives consider the burning of books as ‘no loss’ comes as no surprise.

It also illustrates the ridiculous ignorance and stupidity of religious conservatives, the wrongheaded perception that books like ‘Twilight’ and ‘Harry Potter’ are ‘Satanic’ or ‘anti-Christian.’

But it does show you just how weak their belief system is if the existence of these books is a threat to it.

For over a year, conservative media has exposed critical race theory’s influence in schools. Teachers and officials aim to brainwash kids into believing white students are inferior based on skin color and must hate themselves for being white. The lesson plans teach students how benign concepts like “colorblindness” are actually racist and should be banished from their thinking. It also teaches that America’s founders were evil white supremacists and, therefore, to denounce our national symbols as racist.

Most importantly for this discussion, the CRT mindset has resulted in the erasure of numerousbooks from school curricula. These works include such American classics as The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn and To Kill a Mockingbird. Both books were targeted because they contained the n-word. To Kill a Mockingbird is explicitly anti-racist and puts the word in the mouths of the book’s villains. But that is too much for kids, according to the school districts that banned these works.

These “bans” aren’t just isolated incidents. At the same time the powerful McMinn County board removed Maus, a suburban district of Seattle dropped To Kill a Mockingbird. Since that school district used woke reasoning to drop it (administrators claimed it could “traumatize” black students), the media wasn’t outraged by it. It’s too much for nonwhite high school students to read an anti-racist book that may contain the n-word, but all 8th graders must read a violent graphic novel about the Holocaust. That’s the new standard here.

The entire Western canon could be on the chopping block in public education. Several teachers and academics have urged the removal of Shakespeare, Homer, and other Western luminaries because they’re too white. Only “diverse” authors can be assigned to students.

It’s also in the realm of possibility that liberals will start organizing book burnings. They’ve already done so in Canada. A school district in Quebec organized a “flame purification” in 2019 against more than 4,700 children’s books “that had outdated content and carried negative stereotypes about First Nations, Métis and Inuit people.” Officials were proud of their work. “We bury the ashes of racism, discrimination and stereotypes in the hope that we will grow up in an inclusive country where all can live in prosperity and security,” declared a video produced for students of the burning.

While liberals celebrated Maus becoming an Amazon bestseller during this manufactured crisis, the very same online merchant that bans a great number of books at the behest of liberals. Any book that is found to be offensive is demanded for removal. Recent examples of banned books include ones that criticize gender ideology and COVID hysteria. Meanwhile, the allegedly banned Maus is available at nearly every bookstore and library in the country.

This wave of censorship is a much bigger deal than one rural county’s curriculum. The liberal censors don’t just want to drop books because they’re inappropriate for 13-year-olds. They want to eliminate them because they can’t stand “whiteness.” It’s an argument that carries weight in America’s most powerful institutions. Hollywood imposes racial quotas to combat the menace of white supremacy. Colleges make kids check their white privilege to combat white supremacy. Our transportation secretary vows to remove white supremacy from our roa

That is all very nice, but it does not address the weakness of this group's belief system and those like them.

 

[Curried Goats]

So you have nothing but repetition, and then followed that with stupid bullshit you're told to parrot. Okay, so you're done and had to resort to the usual commie fictions. We get it, you're some ex-con with no future and think Democrats will save you.

Those are called facts cuck boy. Try to dispute any of them. Lol.

 

[Mac-7]

I do not have a side, but yes both sides are pretty much the same....been saying that for a couple decades now.

Did you saything disrespectful about ANTIFA burning Bibles before I added it to this conversation?

now that I have all you can say is that both sides are bad

you make fun of Christians and say nothing about the anti Christians

I wonder why?

 

[Mac-7]

Like burning the American flag, it’s a display of what you’re against.
And like flag burning, it’s stupid and meaningless.

Stupid, and misguided

America is a wonderful country that lefties refuse to appreciate

 

[Hutch Starskey]

Well as long as it wasn't that flag leftists hate

There ya go. Wrap that ignorance up in the warm embrace of faux patriotism.

 

[Harpy Eagle]

Did you saything disrespectful about ANTIFA burning Bibles before I added it to this conversation?

They were not the topic of discussion. That is like whining because I did not bad mouth Bama when i was doing so to UGA.

you make fun of Christians and say nothing about the anti Christians

what is an anti Christian?

 

[Mac-7]

The reference for this thread was very bare of actual facts

but it did give you the opportunity to bash Christians

For instance my first comment was to ask what books were burned

a question you neither asked or answered
