The 2012 Book Burning Controversy

[brookpowerr]

what a dork....



[138stevie]

Maybe he needed to get warm and all he had was spiritual texts. Poor guy, no wonder he's so angry.

[AquariaSpirit]

Keep in mind that the Nazis burned text that they didn't like.

[FaithlessThinker]

That's not a real quran, unless it has the arabic quran text in it. If it's just an english translation with no arabic, it's not the quran, it's just a translation.

[JMarshallUD]

Doubt is a great thing. However, if we start out by saying everything is wrong we block ourselves just as if we said everything is right. Perhaps there is something in everything, even those books, that can lead one to a better life. Furthermore, perhaps its up to us to discern this "truth", as it were. It would be more impressive if you read them all then burned them.

[Serpent541]

Book burning was stupid back then and its stupid now.

[chadpratch]

You Atheists are going to burn in hell for this.

[Serpent541]

@chadpratch

Too bad Hell is a fictional place.

[chadpratch]

@Serpent541 you won't be saying that when your dead

[Serpent541]

@chadpratch

I know I wouldn't say anything....I wouldn't even exist when I am dead. I wont get a new body and spawn to another dimension called "Hell" to burn forever. That idea is beyond ridiculous.

[TexasAggie2013]

@chadpratch There is no hell. Telling me that is like telling me that Santa will bring me coal if I'm naughty

[chadpratch]

@TexasAggie2013 How are you so certain? You sit there so smug thinking you are on the high ground but your not. You have just as much evidence as I do. The difference is that I have nothing to loose and you have everything.

[Damdenn]

Wow as a non believer this kind of offends me. Even if these books are full of hateful tripe they are a large part of the evolution of language and are still a great topic of secular discussion of language. Shame on you!

[Farvadude]

"MOM AND DAD MADE ME GO TO CHURCH! FUK U I DO WHAT I WANNA DO AND IDGAF WUT ALL Y'ALL BITCHEZ THINK O' MEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!"

[angryatheistable]

Dear people, please like my video and or comment. I still wish i had brought marshmellows.

[66tomm99]

If someone wants to burn books that they legally own then I am fine with this.

Saying that, as atheists I think we should take the moral high ground and not purposely attempt to offend religious people (mocking them is fine though)

Besides, burning books won't do anything except for angering them more.

If you want to solve the problem, just shoot them.

(Disclaimer: That was a joke...... or was it? Yeah it was. Don't go round killing anyone guys!)

[WishfireOmega]

You forgot Richard Dawkins' work The God Delusion.

[pokerguy94]

Pretty lights...

[vgleo42]

I don't understand what's wrong with this

i mean seriously, they're just books

get over it

[GaryHenderson1993]

What a waste of money!!!

[LadyDraka]

Nice show of stupidity there. I take it of all the books this guy ever bothered not to read 'Fahrenheit 451' was one of them. Hope he paid good money for all those books.

[666popeman666]

this guy is on the the cutting edge of teen angst, listen to that piano track you can almost feel how smug he is.

[BradPlaysBassGuitar]

I'm a christian and I found no offence to this, you've successfully wasted a lot of money on books just to burn them, stupid.

[VzoMa]

You literally did nothing but prove how much of a simple-minded moron you are.

[Satan266]

“Wherever they burn books they will also, in the end, burn human beings.”

Congratulations, you're worse than them.

[TheCatology]

Nice pollution bro.

I thought Atheists cared for the world?

[musevstool]

Candy ass

[hydrus77]

oh shit i forgot to masturbate!!! OP IS THE KING!! THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU..... I would burn some myself but i dont know where to find bibles ROFL

[1337shellc0der]

freedom of speech

[GhetoGeek]

This guy gives atheists a bad name

[sarinc]

burning all that paper to prove what?

[TheCitygal87]

"Pantheism Monist Physicalist", there u have the real deal

[mynameisjohnandihat]

This person is a hero

[glitchuser4]

It was a waste but to say it was terrible is mentally handicapped. His books = he can do whatever the fuck he wants. This is a middle finger to all you so-called Christians who believe in the rapture. I want to give "God" the middle finger too before this supposed "rapture" coming at the end of this year, just to prove a point. Fuck "God".

[Aeonhem]

@angryatheistable as long as you read them I'm happy.

[andy5579]

There is no real point to this - why burn books? It accomplishes nothing - you only demonstrated your ignorance to other cultures. It doesn't matter if you're religious or not, burning any book is foolish.

[fpsj03l]

don't you understand most old empires and kingdoms were built on religion which lead to there success

[angryatheistable]

i forgot the marshmellows

[LOLUMADCAUSUBAD]

And not a single fuck was given that day...

So let's see, we now have more pollution in the atmosphere. Glad to see this did something useful.

[MaddDarkness]

Stop calling yourself Athiest at least, It just makes you seem like a Fag. I don't need a title to say fuck every religion and live my life.

[PerryPantha]

This is what makes people think you're a faggot.

[IImaydieII]

Honestly, who gives a fuck..They're all books of stories with no proof that they ever actually happened..

[AgnostoTheo]

This... is awful.

Even as an atheist, this makes me cringe. I understand the idea of payback for religious folks burning books, but really, book burning? The sign of the anti-intellectual right? The rallying cry of every moron claiming that Darwin is worthless and Harry Potter causes satanists?

Ew.

Or maybe it's my desire to be a librarian speaking.

[6WildThing6]

I liked the part when he casually put the religious book in the fire.

[AlexBoonLive]

Dont even know half of the books, but they are only books so religious wackos shouldn't give a damn! but they do :P lol

[Evilfisher]

@AlexBoonLive

Dont even know half of the books, but they are only books so jewish wackos shouldn't give a damn! but they do :P lol

[xXAllTheWayTurntUp]

God is going to get you when you die he will send you to hell for that and there will be screams and gnashing of teeth, then you will be cast into the lake of fire!!!

[JohnRicardoJackson]

@xXAllTheWayTurntUp HAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHAH­A! That is awesome! I love how religious people try to scare atheists with this concept of hell even though it was obviously made up. And for what purpose? So religious people could try and scare atheists (or their kids) into belief / worship / intellectual slavery / having pudding with cowboys.

[xXAllTheWayTurntUp]

@JohnRicardoJackson blah

[xXAllTheWayTurntUp]

THE ONLY THING THATS GOIN TO HELL IS YOU DONT DO THAT!!!

[crlsjvrm]

Watch out, we got a badass over here!

[mmxcrono]

If burning them has given you warmth, then they have served their purpose.

"Where they burn books, so too will they in the end burn human beings." - Heinrich Heine

[JohnRicardoJackson]

@crazercat "Where they burn (good, moral or intellectually stimulating) books, they are not burning religious text" - Me

See? I can play this quote game too!

[crazercat]

@JohnRicardoJackson Then I like where this game is going.

[bcasey25raptor]

You sir deserve my utmost respect.

[AnonyAnimal]

Someone's buttfrustrated. :U
