Don't these nutjobs see the irony in what they're trying to do?

These folks give sensible-intelligent Christians a bad name.

The book has suggestive content, references alcohol, and the bible was one of the books burned....in the book.


The parents of the girl in question thinks Jebus will come down and smite them if they don't control what people think here on the ground.

Farenheit 451 was a wonderful novel! I mean, at the end of the book, they were memorizing SCRIPTURE so that it could be passed on to future generations! SCRIPTURE, people!

So anyways, would it be fair to say that I disagree?

Dude didn't read the book! He just went through and found all the bad stuff and labeled it sinner propaganda. GAY!

I'd have gone with bras instead of books.
