Florida pastor Finally Burns Korans, plans to Shoot them next

A fundamentalist pastor who drew international attention to his tiny Florida church by threatening to mark the anniversary of 9/11 by burning copies of the Koran has finally followed through on his promise, several months late and with only a small handful of parishioners in attendance. Also, he plans on putting the Quran 'on trial.' Mr Jones said if the book is found guilty of “inciting murder, rape and terrorist activities” it will be “executed” by burning, drowning, shredding or firing squad.

Drowning?

And the Bible isn't guilty of the same? Either he's not very bright, or he delights in being a hypocrite.

That's what I was thinking

And people wonder why I hate organized religion.

 

[Hobgoblin]

Some people should know when their 15 minutes are up. Sadly, the media gives them a second 15 minutes everything they sink a little lower.

 

[SuperFerret]

Because everyone who claims to have the same religion has the exact same thought process and this isn't the actions of one single lunatic.

 

[Spidey-Bat]

And people wonder why I hate organized religion.

As Superferrt said, the problem isn't religion (organized or otherwise), it's certain individuals who follow it.

 

[Paroxysm]

Organized religion will go the way of the dinosaurs.

 

[Kelly]

I don't know....I think the small churches are going that way, but the mega-churches in the US are growing by the 1,000s weekly.

Also, I think the "organized religion" will simply "change".

I go to a neighborhood home church, where we have a bible study in different people's apartments....I go to a mega-church as well if the pastor is doing a series that I am interested in....but I think people are changing the way they are worshipping.

 

[Paroxysm]

Some experts think it will die out soon but they agree with you that "religions are likely to survive in small enclaves and pockets" in the United States.

We should put Catcher in the Rye on trial for inciting the murder of John Lennon.

Hurm. Sorry.

Religion is VERY DIFFERENT from relationship with God....

Organized religion is "changing" not dying out.... there is a big difference.

I tend to agree with this...

Olasky’s began his article with poll data that reported a 10 percent drop of Americans who identified themselves as Christian. Previously, 86 percent of Americans claimed to be Christians. Does this mean 24 percent are now atheists or agnostics? No. it just meant 8 percent more (16%) disassociated with any religion or denomination. Most still believe in God and regard religion as important to their lives.

This is why the Mega-churches are growing. Most of the mega churches in the US are non-denominational....

Mega-churches are only growing in the US. You don't see them in places like Ireland, Canada, Australia, New Zealand and the Netherlands.

So in the rest of the world it will probably die out.

Europe is a whole different story, organized churches have been going down over many decades, especially the catholic church.

In Europe you have MANY other alternatives, the internet, pod casts, etc...those are all doing very well in Europe, they are catching on in the US.

Mega churches are growing in South America, as well as East and Southeast Asia....

This was bound to happen..

8 Killed in Protest at UN Office

KABUL, Afghanistan – Eight foreigners were killed Friday after demonstrators protesting a reported burning of the Muslim holy book stormed a U.N. office in northern Afghanistan, opening fire on guards and setting fires inside the compound, a top Afghan police official said. The protesters were condemning a reported burning of the Quran at the Rev. Terry Jones' small church, Dove Outreach Center, in Gainesville, Florida. The church's website stated that after a five-hour trial on March 20, the Quran "was found guilty and a copy was burned inside the building." A picture on the website shows a book in flames in a small portable fire pit.

That pastor now has blood on his hands.

He should repent for the deaths he's indirectly caused by his irresponsible actions.

But he won't, because just like Fred Phelps, he's not truly a man of God. Just another attention-seeking megalomaniac who condemns others without ever looking inward at his own twisted soul.

 

[The Squirrel]

Not to play devil's advocate, but the guy isn't responsible for crazies killing people in another country. This is a nation of free speech. If someone wants to go burn a Bible I'm not gonna start cutting people's heads off.

but you can't say if others will start cutting off heads

we got enough crazies in this world who would do it

 

[The Squirrel]

Yeah and if it did happen, the people burning the Bibles wouldn't get blamed like the Pastor is. 'Tis a crazy, mixed up world.

 

[JJJ's Ulcer]

Yes, we have free speech. We also have something called cause and effect. Experts on the region had been on the news networks and said that burning a Koran could lead to riots and deaths in the Middle East (I recall they even warned it could lead to US army deaths). So this idiot pastor must have known something like this could happen, but he just didn't care. And now it's played out exactly as the experts warned. Pastor burned koran. Riots ensued. People died. Sure there's free speech, but that doesn't change the fact that this pastor is a massive *****enozzle who indirectly caused the deaths of others through his irresponsible actions. If that koran was not burned these riots would not have happened and those UN workers would be alive.
