In today's news, someone decides to inflame religious tensions.
An athiest lawyer in Australia decided to make two roll ups made from the pages of a Bible and a Koran. The video, of course, was uploaded to Youtube and has since been deleted.
He is saying it is just a joke and people should get over it.
Personally, I think he is an idiot.
Burning books is something I dislike in general. But this is a far cry from a large Nazi-like book burning like Terry (Moron) Jones pulled last week in Florida. This was a dumb stunt and is not actually funny but he also has some valid points (though made stupidly). Burning books is really dumb, deeply caring about Holy Books and violent reaction to burning books is far dumber. In the end, there are plenty more Korans and Bibles and burning even 200 in itself does nothing to Islam. The message, the Word of God if you believe said is still out there. It is the mindset around these mass burnings that worries me and that leads to stupid violence. I don't think rolling a fatty with page 12 of Genesis really does the same thing.
When I was in prison, it wasn't uncommon for people to use their Gideon's Bibles for rolling paper for their tobacco. The books were too small and the paper too thin for it to be any use as toilet-roll.
There are so many stoners who have rolled joints with pages from free Bibles. I probably would have at some point except I'm shit at rolling joints.
