There are may good uses for the Quran, (asside from the most obvious
bathroom use). Pages of the Quran are reportedly very absorbant. When
frying bacon in the morning, you can use the pages of the quran to
absorb the excess grease. I saw a video on YouTube where a girl is
reported to have been in a pinch. (she was out of tampons), rolled up
some quran pages instead, (although I'd think such a use would increase
the odds of one getting toxic shock syndrome)

One fine day in alt.atheism, Matt <mattbaylor@gmail.com> bloodied us
up with this:

Someone finally posted a Quran burning video on YouTube, will the
Muslims go banannas?

Sure. They cry like babies, then start blowing things up. Very
unstable people, if you ask me.

True, and in that regard, just like the xians.

Ya, those f-ing xians - always suicide bombing each other, taking
schools full of children hostage, beheading journalists and the like
- I especially like how xains are always burning embassies whenever
anyone insults Jesus or the Bible...

Yes, quite true. How many examples (say, in the last few decades?) do
you want?

It's quite easy to do.

Here's a few to get you started:

"Christians Assault, Ruin Atheist's Theater Performance
Although the story has been making the rounds for a while now, some of
you may not know yet about the incident in Cambridge, Massachusetts,
where a group of Christians stood up in the middle of a theater
performance (a monologue) and walked out. One of the Christians went
on stage and destroyed the only copy of the author's text. The piece
in question Invincible Summer, is part of a series created by Mike
Daisey in which he speaks and interacts with each audience differently."

How about these fine christians?
"The LRA continued to kill, torture, maim, rape, and abduct large
numbers of civilians, virtually enslaving numerous children. Although
its levels of activity diminished somewhat compared with 1997, the
area that the LRA targeted grew. The LRA sought to overthrow the
Ugandan Government and inflicted brutal violence on the population in
northern Uganda. LRA forces also targeted local government officials
and employees. The LRA also targeted international humanitarian
convoys and local NGO workers.

The LRA has abducted large numbers of civilians for training as
guerrillas; most victims were children and young adults. The LRA
abducted young girls as sex and labor slaves. Other children, mainly
girls, were reported to have been sold, traded, or given as gifts by
the LRA to arms dealers in Sudan. While some later escaped or were
rescued, the whereabouts of many children remain unknown.

In particular, the LRA abducted numerous children and, at clandestine
bases, terrorized them into virtual slavery as guards, concubines, and
soldiers. In addition to being beaten, raped, and forced to march
until exhausted, abducted children were forced to participate in the
killing of other children who had attempted to escape. Amnesty
International reported that without child abductions, the LRA would
have few combatants. More than 6,000 children were abducted during
1998, although many of those abducted later escaped or were released.
Most human rights NGOs place the number of abducted children still
held captive by the LRA at around 3,000, although estimates vary
substantially. "
"The LRA rebels say they are fighting for the establishment of a
government based on the biblical Ten Commandments. They are notorious
for kidnapping children and forcing them to become rebel fighters or
concubines. More than one-half-million people in Uganda's Gulu and
Kitgum districts have been displaced by the fighting and are living in
temporary camps, protected by the army."

"Why won't the American press tell you that Christians blew up the
Federal building in Oklahoma City?"
"Tonight on the news, it was revealed me that Timothy McVay, the guy
who is accused of the Oklahoma City bombing, is a Christian. Not only
that, but a radical Christian. This makes perfect sense to us. Who
else but a man motivated by his deep religious convictions could pull
of an act of such unearthly evil?

He has connections to a Christian compound called "Elohim." How do I
know it is a Christian compound (compound meaning a place where armed
loonies try to avoid adhering to federal law)? Not because the media
told me. The only way I know this is because "Elohim" is a name for
God which is often used by these nuts. It has actually been
mistranslated to mean "God" when it actually means "dieties" (plural),
but that's beside the point.

McVay called these loonies two weeks before the bombing. McVay's
attorney is trying to prove that these nuts are somehow involved in
the bombing. This is of little concern for me, because either way it
was an action by Christians who feel that a Godless government has no
right to govern them."
