"It sometimes strikes me that the whole of science is a piece of impudence; that nature can afford to ignore our impertinent interference. If our monkey mischief should ever reach the point of blowing up the earth by decomposing an atom, and even annihilated the sun himself, I cannot really suppose that the universe would turn a hair.” --- Aleister Crowley

“We are just an advanced breed of monkeys on a minor planet of a very average star. But we can understand the Universe. That makes us something very special."
--- Stephen Hawking

Therefore, God is a monkey.

Okay, I'm not going to go into anybody's christian morals because christian morals are entirely human interpretation and have nothing at all to do with anything god said. Things god did NOT put in the commandments and Jesus never said: hate other religions and treat them with disrespect because they're going to hell.

OBVIOUSLY. The DEVIL will hate them and treat them awfully in hell, so what the hell makes you think you have the right?

That aside, this is not propounding Christian ideals, it's a bald-faced act of religious bigotry, nothing more. Burning Korans does not show that Christianity is right, it makes it look stupid and intolerant. It does not solve anything or shed new light on something, it's a hate crime and all the participants should be federally charged as such; it's no different than burning a cross in a black man's yard (although they don't plan to hang Muslims while they burn the Korans... do they?).

It is not the Christian's job according to God to hate and to discriminate, but to love and to educate. We are here to preach His word, not to burn that other dude's. It's God's job to judge people and not ours, and to do so is to think ourselves superior to others; which Jesus repeatedly denounced.

Also, in my heaven all my friends are there. Some of my friends are Lutheran, some Cathollic, some Jewish, some Mormon, some Hindu, some Wiccan... the list goes on and on. It's my belief that heaven is where people who live their lives well go, not where people who believe in the wrong God go. In fact, to say "the wrong God" implies that there is another. All beings that we worship are a facet of Him. That is not to say they do not exist, it is to say that they are a part of a greater whole, and He is that whole. As long as the principles are essentially the same (which they are in most cases) it doesn't matter whether you worship Vishnu or Adonai, it's all a part of God, and he judges you on character and action, not which part you choose.

There you go.
