Well, my local news station speaks of murder on a daily basis. I guess we should ban that.

Lots of fantasy stories, such as Harry Potter, the Narnia series, etc., speak of the end of the world. So does science, actually. Do we really believe the world will go on forever? Scientists say that once the sun dies, so will life. Should we ban science?

As for magic, if you don't believe in it, what harm has it done you?

By the way, the Bible also speaks of love, family, friendship, service, wisdom, and other attributes most people hold near and dear. Why should you ban something because there aren't attributes you value? Or did you not get that far?

Book banning is unethical. I don't care what it is. Book banning protects NO ONE and harms EVERYONE. Even Mein Kampf should exist as the piece of history that it is.

mariellarose	Posted Aug 5th, 2009 at 10:40AM That's like saying Harry Potter should be banned. It also speaks of murder, the end of the world, and magic. It shouldn't be banned. People should be allowed to read whatever they'd like and be entitled to practice any religion they see fit. As long as people reading the bible aren't actively stabbing witches or "evildoers" in the streets, I see no real issue. Rated: +6Vote for this!
nickie73	Posted Aug 5th, 2009 at 10:40AM the problem isn't with Religion however contrary to popular belief, the problem is with crazed murderous fanatics trying to justify their psychotic behaviour by saying it's religious fanatasism! IRA catholics obviously conveniantly forgot that the very first commandment of THIER GOD, is THOU SHALT NOT KILL!! forgive the rant but I can't stand Evil in any form much less religiously "motivated". religion isn't evil, greedy ruthless power hungry PEOPLE are x Rated: +5Vote for this!

Emptysoul30	Posted Aug 5th, 2009 at 3:10AM There goes Miss Marple, then. Nah, we should keep the Bible around. It makes for comforting reading. Not all of it is about killing and slaughter and what have you. there are some very inspirational passages in those aged old pages ^.^ Rated: +2Vote for this!
1Belinda	Posted Aug 5th, 2009 at 10:41AM No! Why would anyone want to ban a great piece of Literature that apart from being the main text of major World Religion that is also is the basis of much of our Law and Customs? Killing and slaughter existed then and sadly exists today. Airbrush reality? Ya gotta be kidding.(sigh) Rated: +2Vote for this!

allofus	Posted Aug 5th, 2009 at 3:13AM Been tried for centuries and before Jesus and the New testiment was written, the jewish bible was attacked and people tried to ban it for all time. You can not ban God or his word, it is just not possible. Rated: +1Vote for this!
Katfather	Posted Aug 5th, 2009 at 3:28AM Honestly, despite all the pain, suffering, and depression it has caused, no. Part of it is my hatred of ANY banning of books, but I have to admit that the Bible, like fuzzy dice in a race car, sometimes gives hope. If that hope is real or not, I don't know, and despite my many, many doubts, it IS comfrot to some that have no comfrot Now, if you were to ask if any of the people screaming that it's totally the world of God (ignoring the real world and the fact that if God had written it it would be in the skies all over the world each night and day) should be banned, I'd have no trouble with that idea at all. Although I couldn't think of where to put them. If we put them all in the same place, they'd have to listen to each other and realize how stupid they sounded, and I'm afraid the suicide count would be terrible.. Rated: +1Vote for this!
freeed	Posted Aug 5th, 2009 at 4:11AM No, but it should come with a disclaimer like cigarettes that it may be dangerous to your [mental] health. Kowen and I should bait more hooks together. There are parts I believe in and parts that are just wrong. It is NOT God's word - it is man's. The still open for comment Lucifer=Satan LIE Q I've posted may interest those truly loving the Truth as I do. And Christians aren't the ONLY hippocrites; The Koran states "If you raise your hand to harm me, I will NOT raise mine to harm you". How does anyone but a crazy warp this into justification for 9/11, jiihad and all the other lethal nonsense? Can't religions just be content in the knowledge that non-believers will spend eternity in whatever unpleasant hell awaits them? Rated: +1Vote for this!

namename21	Posted Aug 5th, 2009 at 4:38AM The Bible is actually like 66 different books, many written at vastly different time periods, in different cultures, and by different people with different belief systems. Instead of "the Bible" being judged, it would be more accurate to judge each separate book within it by what it teaches. Rated: +1Vote for this!
nomedeplume	Posted Aug 5th, 2009 at 4:49AM No, no books should ever be banned. That is censorship and is against human rights of freedom of expression and thought, however what should be banned is christians and other religions banning and censoring books that are not inkeeping with their narrow philisophies. And I believe a child should not be forced to read the Bible and learn cathecisms off by heart Rated: +1Vote for this!
Amadis	Posted Aug 5th, 2009 at 5:12AM NO. let the bible be there so anyone can read and realize the absurd in it. banning could only make it popular, as any forbidden thing gets more attractive. Rated: +1Vote for this!
