    You never see edgelord atheists burning Bibles to trigger Christians - and the reason they don’t is because they know they won’t get away with it.

    Rather because we know we get away with it. Because most Christians don’t feel so entitled to expect others to live by their rules, and threaten them with death when they don’t.

    These provocations make sense as long as the other side takes offense for so little, in such a violent way. It’s this encroaching and inacceptable attitude which makes resistance a necessity.

    The article sheds no light on what the actual motives of these particular protesters are.

      Ok come on, my friend. I know a bible burning won’t get you the death penalty, but many many many people have been killed and imprisoned for not living to Christian values, especially in the United States. It’s “just a few crazies” or whatever, but it really isn’t since these actions happen in an environment of indirect public support.

      You mean… except for that entire colonialism thing, huh?

      Go burn Bibles in public, then… we’ll see how long it takes the christo-fascists to show up at your door. Somehow, I don’t think you will.

      Don’t have to… it’s very easy to tell what they are. And it seems plenty of people are willing to run interference for these nazis - as long as they can be aimed at Muslims, of course.
