Quote:When asked why the boys chose to desecrate the Bible,
It is
just a BOOK!
A book with no power.
The power from a book ( no matter the contents) belongs to the person who reads it.
This should NOT be about whos whinning over a burned bible.. but why is a child lighting fires at school?
He should be in trouble for that.
Lighting a fire at school where there are sometimes over 100 people present is absolutly not safe.
Yet, THAT is not addressed.. just a supposed insult to a religion.
give me a break.
Kids do stupid , and sometimes angry things, because they are kids.
Things like this are expected to happen.
But I dont agree with the schools reasoning for punishment.
They should make more of an issue about setting fires, and stop worrying about their personal beliefs.
He could have set someone else on fire
He could have caught the building on fire...
why oh why are they crying over it being a bible?
Fire kills..
bibles dont.
