While there are some immoral things in the Bible...like King David having the husband of Bathsheba sent on a suicide mission so he could sleep with her...and there are some judgments by God that seem very harsh. Like God's command to the Israelites to wipe out the Canaanites.

But the interesting question is how an ethical criticism of God can be considered actually valid or invalid. Seems to me that on an aesthetic view any sense of morality is really just an evolved survival trait that only seems to be something that could be valid or invalid. Thus, how can they hold that their own judgments of morality are more valid then those that they find objectionable?

There should be a counter-protest: rip pages out of ‘Das Kapital’ and ‘The Communist Manifesto’ and throw them at the protestors.

Very impressive of them....more “God doesn’t exist and I hate Him.”

LOL. So true. Who is this God in whom they do not believe? Oh well, maybe just one of them will catch sight of a word or two and be struck down by the power of it and repent. A few pages of God’s word printed on paper are no match for the power of the Holy Spirit. If just one is struck and comes to Christ, then the pages will have served their purpose.

***Members of a grassroots atheist group say they will tear out pages of the Bible at the Huntington Beach pier***

Yawn. Been done before.

Jeremiah’s scroll is read to the king...

Jeremiah 36:23
Now the king sat in the winterhouse in the nineth month; and there was a fire on the hearth before him.

And it came to pass that when Jehudi had read three or four leaves, he cut it with the pen knife and cast it into the fire that was on the hearth, until all the roll was consumed in thae fire that was on the hearth.

To what possible end would they engage in such a display of puerile petulance.
