Is It A Sin To Burn A Bible? by logicboy: 11:46am On Jun 14, 2012
What is wrong in burning a bible? I mean, there are endless copies of bibles on the internet and on mobile phones or computers. Hard copies are becoming redundant.

Generally, I dont believe in burning books because no knowledge is lost. However, what if you need a fire to keep warm and you have no firewood, just your bible?

I agree with you. I don't see anything wrong in burning a bible, especially when one considers the fact that it is mass-produced like toilet paper. Burning one will be insignificant.

Dude read you bible. Your men of God destroyed things that were sacred to people's religion;

2 Ki 18:3-4 (Amp) Hezekiah did right in the sight of the Lord... He broke in pieces the bronze serpent that Moses had made, for until then the Israelites had burned incense to it; but he called it Nehushtan [a brazen trifle]


<< Deuteronomy 12:3 >>
Break down their altars, smash their sacred stones and burn their Asherah poles in the fire; cut down the idols of their gods and wipe out their names from those places.

Logicboy are you seeking to be provocative? The scenario is purposely engineered to compel one to act against perhaps their usual choice...unless you are conveying that the motives should be the real measuring factor.
I think the question is questionable and I have no business in burning any book when I can instead opt to resell them ...I sure won’t be burning my 19th century antique bible...that I know grin

let me tell you a funny story. LOL. this guy i went to high school with was the craziest dude you could ever encounter. at age 11 he was already smoking ciggarettes and pawpaw leaves. he was wild. i used to look at the like he was some insane guy. he used the bible pages to wipe his a-ss in the bushes after taking a shyttt. he said something about the pages of the bible being nice and soft enough to pass as tissue paper. he also used to roll joints ( weed ) up with bible paper. something about the bible paper being the best roller and whatnot. This guy was the most insane guy you ever met. i believe he used to cuss God out and was vehemently anti-God back then, and all this time we were just 11 years old. and we were in this boarding school till the age of 16. anyway i jammed the guy on facebook like 2 years ago. what do you know ? this guy is the most dedicated and most committed born again you ever saw grin grin grin grin on his facebook page if you aint talking about the lord he aint dealing. he staunch. what a life right ?

that story kinda reminded me of burning the bible. this guy used to desecrate the bible for smoking and wiping his crusty butt LOL

Hence my response...


Logicboy I’ve read your post more than once and I understand perfectly what you are trying to pose. Burning a bible or any other revered articles of another’s belief system may not be a “sin” depending on the individual but it is insensitive (irrespective of whether it’s a retaliation or in honour of a rival believer’s deity) but you have quite conveniently presented the issue in a context where burning the bible would be most appropriate. Thus it doesn’t fit well with the question since you’ve tailored the motives. Besides endangering the bible will only appreciate its worth.

What is the motivation behind this act?

For the respect of those who believe in that book with their lives, I would think twice before setting a Bible on fire just to pass a message across.

100% agree!
Hmmm...unless I'm misunderstanding (emofine pls correct if I am) but it doesn't appear that logicboy understood your point here, the simple "I agree" is indicative of that.

I clearly stated that I dont believe in burning any book because they all contain some form of knowledge. Why are you forcing some kind of contradiction?
