The uproar over this seems to indicate that most Atheists aren't actually Atheists, they're Anti-Christian. I wouldn't be surprised to see an outpouring of support from these same people if Muslims (or any other group) decided to hold burn a Bible Day. See Zoober's comment? Yeah.

This is one of the stupidest if not the stupidest thing I have ever read in my entire life. You fail to understand the words you read, you fail at life and really you should just excuse yourself from the internet forever.

So I'm gunna be in Gainesville anyway for the USF vs UF football game earlier in the day, so figure I should drop by this and protest. Would be a pretty big hypocrite if I didn't lol. I need some ideas of what to put on a sign though, anyone with a good phrase/idea?

I'm not anti Christian, I'm anti-religion as a whole because people get so swept up in pleasing whatever deity they worship and go out and do stupid shit because somebody disagrees with what they say(thats not to say Atheists dont do stupid shit as well, they def. do and i think they are just as stupid).

FSM is the obvious choice

Atheists are just as evil as religious people, we however are not "just as dumb". We atheists happen to be a great deal smarter (on average ).

Yeah, there's book smarts, and street smarts. Athiests have street smarts.

Most of them know what street they live on.

[Maxwell]

Ya, the 12% higher IQ on average and 60% higher education rate helps us read the street signs .

All joking aside, as anti-religion as I am, I am against the burning of any literature, whether it be a physics book, a quran, or the bible.

[Max™]

Toss some copies of this in there, see if anyone gets the joke.

[Kerberoz]

How about just rip the covers off and glue them on bibles and qurans? Same message without wasting good literature.

[Max™]

I'd say it would be worth the money just for the situational irony.

This is what I was talking about, the "Fuck everything about this" comment.

[Tsuko_Asura]

No, really, you have a Twilight avatar. I'm gay and I still think you're a fag*.

*Is "fag" allowed in General? I'll edit it if not.

If they're allowed in general, next thing you know they'll want to marry, or vote.... keep fags out of general! Put that on your poster zoolander

[Zoolander]

Yea, definitely going. I have the strong urge to do something that would get me arrested. Nothing violent or anything like that...but god damn would it be worth it. I'm wondering if there will be people with water, fire extinguishers or something to that effect. Really curious how I'm gunna get to the "church," I imagine there won't be parking anywhere near it. Whole thing should be an interesting sight. Feel like I am pretty much required to go, white ppl gotta represent, this shit is serious now. Its become a major recruiting tool for the jihadists.

[Gadritan]

Anyone considered how much money they're giving to jihadists with all the Qur'ans they're buying up to burn? It's quite an amusing forgotten detail.

They're not going to let anyone in the area that isn't a resident or member of the church, I believe.

On Wednesday morning, police were going door-to-door in neighborhoods around the church, passing out fliers alerting residents that police will be setting up a driver's license checkpoint at an intersection near the church.

The flier warns: "In the event of a significant incident occurring in the area … the sole entrance to your neighborhood will be shut down, and there will be no way in or out for an undetermined amount of time."

Some contractors in the Vista Palms subdivision just north of the church said the expected disruption on Saturday is costing them business.

Kenny Eunice, 43, and Hal Saylor, 54, both carpenters, said they will lose money because only residents will be allowed into the subdivision on Saturday.

If you supported Draw Mohammed, but think Burn a Qu'ran is horrid, you might be a hypocrite. They're both highly insulting to Muslims, but because one was headed by fundamentalist Christians we get a shitstorm about it.

Jeese, not this crap whining about Christians being treated more poorly. There is a big difference between the two, and book burning has been used throughout history. Not to mention the intentions behind these two events are incredibly different.
