2. Would it be better or worse if he decided to burn all those other books as well?
Probably worse, right?

4. Since atheists also don't accept Jesus as their savior....

6. Rand was an atheist...
So he can make the world a better place by buring her books while still getting to satisfy his insane hate-on.

11. Fundies usually seem to regard Darwin's Origin of Species as the Holy Book of Atheism...
Not that it's anything of the sort, but that never stopped a fundie from thinking so.

Or nowadays anything by Richard Dawkins. Actually, I know someone who works as a bookseller; and once someone came into her shop, bought and paid for a copy of 'The God Delusion'; and then tore it to shreds in front of a very startled group of shoppers!

7. The only upside is that Jones and his ilk still aren't allowed to burn those they think non-Xtian.
But they are certainly trying to change that, too, so it's not much of an upside.

15. Religion has nothing to do with why he's burning Korans.
It's all about publicity for his cult. He's trying to cash in on all the hate that FOX and the Republicans have been whipping up.
