Would you fear for your life if you burned a Bible?

[Electric Monk]

Poll question: Would you fear for your life if you burned a Bible?

And, for the sake of argument, let's say you upped the video of it to youtube using your real name as well.

Inspired by this other poll: http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=show_mesg&forum=439&topic_id=806068&mesg_id=806068

1. Silly question

Or is this in response to some Koran-burning poll that I seem to have missed?

[Electric Monk]

2. Try reading the OP again, especially the part that goes "Inspired by this other poll"

7. Ah, I did find the other poll

Fortunately, it was not too far down the list.

8. Nice job, Sherlock.

:wow:

[customerserviceguy]

19. And thanks to you

for giving me the opportunity to vote Yes on that poll, and No on yours.

[AlabamaLibrul]

3. Yes, and anyone who says no about this OR the Koran

really underestimates the freaks that walk on this earth.

[DJ13]

4. It depends where I burn it.

If Im in the South, say Georgia or Tennessee, yes.

If Im in San Francisco, probably not.

5. How many news outlets will report on it? nt

6. I would only fear for my soul; likewise if I burned the Koran, or Native American Totm Pole, or

similar.

What has taken over the soul when one needs to commit such acts?

11. Feel free to elaborate. No true Christian would kill someone for burning a Bible?

10. I would fear for my life if any of the screaming assholes outside my local PP knew my real name or

where I lived.

12. other: not YET. n/t

[Confusious]

13. Depends on which part of the country I was in.

Also depends on which Muslim country you are in, in the case of the Koran.

The deep south == deep middle east.

Turkey, no. New York, no.

[Warren DeMontague]

14. I wouldn't put a video of myself picking my nose on youtube with my real name.

There's a lot of nuts out there.

[enuegii]

15. Definitely depends on where you live.

In Alabama, just politely declining a cousin's invitations to attend church can get you ostracized by "friends" and family for twenty years and counting.

As far as burning a bible on video and giving out my real name: well, I really don't want to find out what Custer experienced at the Little Bighorn.

[Paradoxical]

16. I don't value my life enough to fear for it.

[Meeker Morgan]

17. If I burned the Bible ...

... I would not fear that some Christians half a world away would kill a bunch of people whose only connection to me was they were also not Christians.

[Festivito]

18. Once upon a time, SAYING SOMETHING about it could get one killed.

Let alone burning the book.

We have cultural differences based on disposable wealth disparities.

[Lyric]

20. I wouldn't "fear"...but I'd know damned well that someone might kill me for it.

People like Eric Rudolph and Scott Roeder are still out there, after all.

[Logical]

21. Not at all.

[Motown_Johnny]

22. as a teenager I had a friend with a small pocket sized Bible, and he/we would

tear out pages and use them for rolling papers



does this count?

[seabeyond]

23. you kiddin... after 2006 election i took my 11 stickers off the car. had three incidents

that made me fearful. two, while driving. so.... maybe

[sylvi]

24. Nope

And I live in deep southern Bible Belt territory.
