"The Iliad" by "Homer".

Any book written by a man named "Homer" has got to be bad news.

I think it's horrible to burn any books. I adore all of the books that every other poster has listed here. If you don't like them, don't read them.

First of all, this is NOT a debate forum. Please read THIS thread before making an even bigger fool of yourself.

Secondly, while the internets might seem to be "free" to you, this particular corner of the internets is a privately owned Christian forum. The rights you have on this forum are listed HERE. Please contact a Pastor immediately if you feel that any of your rights have been violated.

Finally, your unsaved opinions or tantrums are not even slightly of interest to us. We follow the Holy Word of God TO THE LETTER, and make no apologies for that. One of the most important commandments in the Bible tells us to avoid unsaved scum such as yourself. You wandered in here uninvited, and unwelcome .

Please make a thread of your own in the "Introductions" section of the forum, so that we can properly greet you. Tell us about yourself, your church, and how you came to find Jesus.

And if you're here to flame us, better take a look at THIS before making an even bigger ass out of yourself.

I will pray that the Holy Spirit enter you and chase the demons out of your rectum and let Jesus fill you with His Grace. If you use your God-given free will to reject Christ and His temporary death on the cross for my sins, then you are sending yourself to hellfire.

Book burning is a Christian tradition that dates back to the earliest of days.

Acts 19:19-20 Many of them also which used curious arts brought their books together, and burned them before all men: and they counted the price of them, and found it fifty thousand pieces of silver.
So mightily grew the word of God and prevailed.

ANYTHING Stephen King. The junk he writes is PURE witchcraft, and has no meaning in the True Christian World.

He is Unsaved, and should have never been published in the first place!

Praise God!

Re: Banned Books and Book burnings

I am requesting the following books be banned from Freehold.
Author Homer
Title Iliad
Reason. It sounds like a book on phallic symbolism. Not a Christian book.

Author Homer
Title The Odyssey
Reason .It is a story about a homersexuaral and his male conquests. Look at the Authors name! Not a Christian book.

All copies should be turned in the Church and burned at a later time.

We aren't talking about as the world is. We're talking about once we take over the country and implement the Bible instead of the constitution.

What on earth makes you think we are communists? This is the most free market bunch you will ever meet.

I've been collecting as many comic books as possible because they burn so well. They're great for getting a pyre started!

Re: Banned Books and Book burnings

I may not agree with a lot of these books you have suggested but I do agree with "Twilight". It turns boys that read it into homers and girls that read it get a unrealistic idea of love and the way women are to be treated.

[jennabenna]

Re: Banned Books and Book burnings

Twilight.

This book is holy scripture for the generation of GODless, pessimistic, whining Satan worshipers, who glorify vampires and other minions of darkness as 'misunderstood' and 'tragic' victims of fate. The boys who read this nonsense wear eyeliner and paint their nails black, and have more mood swings than the girls. It turns them gay! It was probably written by a Mormon too.

I have to agree with all of you here. Steph. Meyer is a mormon... I mean Mormon. And you're right. No straight guy can read that crap. I mean, just look at my ex boyfriend! Faggot...

Re: Banned Books and Book burnings

Jean Auel's Earth's Children series -- is set in the "Ice Age" which the Bible never even mentions, therefore did not happen.

The book also posits and details a so called universal "Mother Goddess" religion and stresses that women are somehow especially "blessed" by this "Great Mother" figure.

It has many lurid passages of detailed sex in which the female protoganist has many, many orgasms. (Seriously, I get sick of hearing about the male protoganist's "prodgious" member. We get it, Jean, he's well hung!)

This book series has the practical advantage of being very lengthy and so burns long and steadily.

Diana Gabaldon's Outlander series has the same benefit. Her books are easily between 800 and 1000 plus pages, thus guaranting many hours of bright flame. They center on time-travel and include lots of great- I mean- disgusting sex, the only redeeming factor of which is that it is married sex.

Joseph Campell's examination of mythology in Hero of a Thousand
Faces in which he provides examples of different virgin-birth, sacrificed victim stories throughout other cultures is very, very subversive to the True Religion. He suggests that Jesus's life follows the pattern of these different heathen examples. His Masks of God series needs to be burned for no other reason than its title alone.

Barbara Walker's entire opus of feminist spiritually writings need to be burned.

Alice Miller wrote-- among others, For Your Own Good. She is a psychologist who criticises child rearing practices of the past and believes that children are "damaged" by harsh and demeaning discipline. She strongly disapproves of any effort to explain to little ones that their bodies are dirty. Now, her books are short and can be used for kindling to get things going before the above mentions tomes can be thrown into the flame.

This has been an enjoyable thread. The only thing that could be more satisfing would be joining all the good folk at LBC for the actual book burning. Please take lots of pictures for me.

Joyfully Yours,

Handmaiden

Don't forget Rachel Carlson's Silent Spring.

My God, the economic damage from just that one has got to be in the billions of dollars.

Stephen King books work well as kindling in my wood stove. Craigslist is a great place to get 'em for free.
