    Burning other people’s books is of course bad. Burning your own books? Idk man, you bought it.

      If I build my own cross and burn it in front of your house, that’s cool then? I don’t think it’s quite as simple as you imply

        Like I said in the other comment, the ban isn’t on instigating, it’s on burning a book. Also idgaf about the cross

        Yeah, since you would be in the street and probably get hit by a vehicle. That would be hilarious. Please do this. Please setup a cross right in the street in front of my house to make your point and get struck by a truck.

            I got your point, such as it is, and it was so clearly bad that mocking it seemed appropriate. There is a difference between targetted harassment of an individual who is a member of the general public and attacking skydaddy. One is a crime with a victim you can identify and the other (like all blasphemy) is a victimless crime. If Allah were real, and not just a plagiarism run through the mind of a warlord genocidal pedophile, it could not be harmed. It could not be afraid. It could not even be resisted. A human can’t harm a god, a human can easily hurt a human.

            Your entire attempt at comparison was not even worthy of this comment as it was so wrong. If you compared a sneeze to a supernova it would have been closer to comparing fictional Allah to a human. Blasphemy can never ever ever be a crime with a victim.

            Now go burn a cross in front of my house, but please make sure to wait a bit as there is still some daylight. I want it to be nice and dark.

              The argument I was making was pretty much the kind of reasoning that the Danes are using in their law making. I don’t know why you bother even discussing these issues when you are incapable or unwilling of even think about their reasons. Enjoy fighting strawmen.

                  You’ve gone through and responded to each of my posts with accusations and deliberate misundersndings (unless you’re genuinely incapable of listening). You seem obsessive. I don’t get your attitude. I talk about things to try to communicate. You seem to want to score points. I’m done with this. I do t see the point of communicating like this.
