But it's just paper to me. They don't get to enforce onto me what is and isn't sacred. That's the point of burning it. I can't believe you don't understand this trivial thing.
In my religion, tobacco is sacred. Anyone who is smoking cigarettes are provoking violence.
Idiotic.
MadeTheFuckUpism. It's exactly as true as Islam.
Why does the name of the religion matter here?
What if I want to prove to them that the laws they try to enforce on others don't effect me? Burning some paper seems like the most harmless way to make that point.
Honestly? You, right now, telling me I can't publicly burn the Quran.
See, that's just it. That right there. Would me burning some paper be to blame for the violence, or would the other parties willingness to commit violence over burning paper be to blame?
I think you're placing your blame wrong.
