A very opinionted matter. Some nutzoid in Berkeley probably thinks the US is an evil country and burns a flag to protest, while the majority of the population thinks he is a scumbag. Just like the majority of the population thinks Harry Potter isn't a tool of the devil, and the pastor is an idiot for making a public spectale out of burning the books. In their minds the protest is valid, and it my mind it is valid enough to not ban it in anyway, but the form of protest tends to turn most people, including myself, off. Hell, if some guy was out burning an Iraqi flag, and I have no sympathy for Iraq in anyway, I'd still think there would be better ways to protest, mostly because it would remind me of one of those Middle Eastern idiots and anarchist/leftists who burn our flag. But then again, most people here don't tend to burn flags of other countries....
I can't speak for the majority of the country but I would think that the Berkeley flag burner is a S*bag because he burns a symbol of not just any country but our country.
Again I can't speak for the pastor in this article, but if he thinks that witchcraft is the work of the devil and that this book glorifies witchcraft and that he wants to send this warning to his flock, then I say let him go burn the damn book -- who cares. To criticize him for this belief is to criticize all faith based religious beliefs which is something I have no interest in and I wonder why anybody else does.
