Do you remember after the Columbine massacre how all the Christians were trying to blame the rock and roll music the kids listened to for their violence? And of course they also tried to blame video games. But aren’t we forgetting that the bible has been responsible for more human atrocity than any other book in history. I remember Christians protesting an Ann Rice book that came out because it mentioned Satan frequently, but I’m sure it didn’t come close to mentioning him as often as the bible does. I mean where they mad that the kids at Columbine killed or were they made that they weren’t killing for their God? We always want to say that the bible is a book with a noble cause but for every good decent Christian out there, there are 3 bad ones making the rest of them look bad. What do you think? If Christians want books, CD’s and video games to be banned because they may cause people to kill each other, should we do them a favor and ban their Bible?

Yes
No

COMMENTS:
Christians want to rule the word and have it no other way. Anything that gets in the way of their steamroller of ignorance must be banned. Banning the bible would be quite funny though.

I agree with your one of four statistic... most Christians I meet are TERRIBLE spokesmen of their religion (I've met a few exceptions on B&W however). I often find I know more than them about their own religion, and most haven't even read the Bible, but instead believe in what they are told about the Bible (see my ballot #66997 for an example).

It might be a Good Thing to ban the Bible, as it would probably get more Christians to read it.

I'd love nothing better than to outlaw the thing. But it's in the interpretation where the greatest damage is done. It's up to the Religious Right to teach their parishoners what the REAL intent of the Word of God is, not what their personal divinations might be.

I'm a christian but i don't know of any cd's or books that i want to ban.

Many of your contemporaries do. Harry Potter, for instance. Or The Last Temptation of Christ, Scorcese's controversial movie.

by xxxxxxxx on Thu Feb 24, 05 7:51pm [+]

I like Harry Potter myself. Some do go to far with their beliefs, like with sponge-bob being gay, lmao.

jpcarulei- you are full of sh*t

by RawIron on Thu Feb 24, 05 8:16pm [+]

I agree with runyon, I too am a Christian who doesn't want to ban any CD's or books. Can you be any more generalizing? Let's all stereotype, shall we?

Doof-I think the anti-Harry Potter crowd is definitely not representative of all Christians. I have read all the Harry Potter books and I have seen all of the movies-and I love them. People need to lighten up. They are fiction and a basic good vs. evil story, which some Christians just refuse to see. To be honest I have always wondered if the Naysayers have even read the damn things! Oh, don't get me started on this subject. I get so mad about it!

by ceejjj on Fri Feb 25, 05 7:22am [+]

Tell me about it. If you want to see them as evil, you're going to, and I definitely don't think the Harry Potter banners represent all Christians, but they are a vocal group that must be reckoned with. One Christian in particular had heard bad things about it, and his daughter had a copy. He confiscated it, got around to reading it, and now he's a big fan and says there are Christian messages all throughout the books!

I'll just give a few examples: Gryffindor house is represented by a benevolent lion-esque creature (lion of God), while the evil Slytherin is represented by a snake (Satan). No character (including the most evil in the books) EVER invokes evil spirits to do their bidding, which is what the Bible is against. They only use spells and charms. He also says it's a classic struggle between good & evil, and good eventually triumphs.

Doof, I really enjoyed your post. Those are very good points, and ones I can bring up to any Harry Potter opposers I know.

by ceejjj on Sat Feb 26, 05 11:14am [+]

I agree with the DOOF!!!

You don't know what your talking about. There are many Christian rock bands.

This is the deadliest book ever written.

The Bible was one reason the Europeans felt superior to the Africans/Asians/Native Americans. They also believed it was their duty to spread Christianity (the way they saw it), and I believe this was the jumping-off point for imperialism.

Which is not a good thing.
