That's right. Just ask Chairman Mao and Adolf Hitler.

💪🤬

AGREE

But in "Fahrenheit 451," they called them Firemen who wore helmets to hide their features, and they gave them tools to unquestingly...oh nevermind.

Never!

Well, except for the guy who saved all the survivors of a tragic plane crash by starting a fire by burning a copy of a really long novel and roasting the remains of a deceased victim over the fire and keeping everyone alive until rescuers arrived. I mean, book burning has its place, right?

This is a commonly overlooked scenario. Whenever this happens to me I'm like come on guys we're going to starve if we don't burn this hunger games box set ok

But too many times, they’ve held power.

But... but... there's always a first time (or so Alberta thinks).

Except for if the book they are burning is the bible because the bible itself is just a manipulation device created by the system to brainwash every one into slavery

I get where you’re going with this— to highlight book banners’ hypocrisy— but trust me, they can, will, and have banned the Bible. They don’t read, and they don’t want anyone else to, because ignorant people are easier to control. People who wish to read the Bible are our allies here.

The bible itself is one big lie from start to finish it's a fantasy made up by narcissists to trick the masses into becoming as narcissistic as them through the constant self dick sucking written in the text itself not to mention just how much

"Jesus" himself constantly jacks himself off as this "all loving being" when he himself was just as violent as his father if not worse the entire story is just one ego stroker for a narcissist to go

"I'm different from the rest of the world because I hide behind paper and rules to do my violence while they directly do it in the streets

I feel you missed my point entirely the manipulation/ narcissistic conditioning is within the writing itself of the bible meaning someone would actually have to read it to believe it and belief really is the trap itself they keep people in

Belief itself is just a cover word for ignorance and people who are conditioned into belief through ignorant writing will be forever ignorant until said ignorant writing is destroyed

Again, the fact that reading the Bible has lead to some Christians leaving Christianity, as well as some strengthening or reassessing said Christianity indicates that destroying it will do nothing to stop ignorance. How will destruction of a form of knowledge ever stop ignorance?

Because the bible itself isn't knowledge it's main purpose is to suppress intelligence and knowledge God is just the fairy tail the system made up to keep people from questioning the barbaric rules they force on both humanity and the land we all live on

There are no devil's and there are no gods

Okay. 🤷‍♀️ Maybe you’re right.

The Bible is a compiled series of myths and legends compiled over time. It’s a source of knowledge. Its purpose was to have those compiled. Its use has been suppress, sure, but its use has also been to throw off suppression by believers. Why blame the tool for how it’s used?

But I read it— or at least translations into English— and it resulted in my not being Christian. That’s actually a very common trajectory for several ex-Christians, including exvangelicals. I encounter self-professed Christians all the time with an embarrassing lack of knowledge of their own Bible.

It still isn’t.

just note that they thought there were the good guys, though.

Yeah but we’re getting it right this time!

So you support the banning of books? Wow, Y’allQaeda is just openly fascist now.

Oops, I do.

So you’re afraid of words too, amongst so many other things? I knew maga was a bunch of pussies but being afraid of words is really another level🤣

I guess unlike you I don’t think its important to teach children to stick their dicks up people’s asses.

Damn magat, what kind of books are you reading? Parents need to be involved in their kid’s education. I see where your mind is though, sheesh. I mean, I get it, you people are the party of pedos and pervs but wow! docs.google.com/document/u/0...

Obviously someone’s not paying attention to the books being “banned” in schools.

I am

ACLU wants to burn my book and take the 10 Commandments from Court and School. Could you imagine if I broke the Commandments against you?

Bring it. Put down your phone, pick up a gun, and put us in our place. Go on, whatcha waitin for?

As a Law Abiding Christian, there's really no reason I would ever have to attack someone. So I'm not waiting for anything and you have no reason to feel threatened by a list of "Thou Shalt Nots" that keep you and your neighbor safe from people like Vince McMahon & Donald Trump, and Hugh Heffner.

Or, has anyone ever imported fascism and that’s been the best government for the people

I love how the religious condemn thinking and burn books.

And the ones who do usually follow a book that has everything there against in it

So true

I hate to advocate for the devil and be all defeatist but this type of messaging is not effective for converting people. These maga people believe the good guys lost WW2, that it is good to burn books of shit they don't agree with. THEY THINK IT'S GOOD. The whole perspective is misaligned.

No, but somehow and why, I'll never understand, the world keeps returning to this desecration. Why is it that some need to burn truth ? Is it to hide their darkness? Perhaps, but I really believe it is their fear of their own incompetence.

Or banning words!

Where the hell did the "good guys" statement come from . The gop sure as hell aren't nor are the hypocritical evangelical so called Christians.

Agreed, also 75 was the year physical graffiti came out not that they are related but twas a good year

Correct.

Unless it’s books on tax law in a library fireplace and the world has suddenly been plunged into a new ice age.

Just the LGBTQ+ grooming stuff from elementary schools.

Looks like if you protect them from one, you protect them from the other… if recent incidents have confirmed.

The one out of the last what, 1000 shootings?

Maybe this one, MSNBC couldn’t avoid reporting, but no. You have missed a few, and a disproportionally high number of other examples. Wake up and smell the problem… Don’t be the one dumb enough to think mental instability is a distraction from the real problem. Gun free zones are an invitation.

“No way to prevent this?” That’s a weak stand. Protect our children by removing places that Only criminals and the unstable have the means to stop these atrocities. No gun zones are scary places, because normal people are helpless to protect themselves or others from these “Soft Target Attackers.”

What a surprise, just another fascist with too much time on his hands.

Yup, hate those who believe small children should be spared from transvestites and oddballs.

I hate fascists who believe that books written by queer people harm children but religious indoctrination don't cause the same harm. So, yeah, I guess I hate you too.

Don’t love you, Ember, either. But hate is something your team has aplenty.

My local bookstore has a banned book section, Been buying ones I don’t already own. Reading Hunger Games right now. Holy shit.

Never.

I wonder how many of the people that want the books banned have even read them

yeahhh sometimes they get it right for the wrong reasons like it shouldn’t be banned but it’s also not worth reading

Most book stores, book review sites, and publishing houses have banned, defunded, or removed conservative-leaning books for 30 years. Orwellianism is an active part of the Left/Democrats. Thanks!

Funny how those "inanimate objects" are never the cause of anything, except for books. Guns don't kill people, but books make you a gay libtard commie.
