The Bible itself is just a book - what's more important to recognize is the message(s) contained within it... which is to love & respect one another. Yes, by all means have & show respect for any book that's deemed Sacred in any culture or religion, but let's not forget that it's not about the book itself - it's the message within that's Holy - not the ink or paper it's written on! :) Treating a Bible like it's a Holy relic isn't what's expected. You can own a million Bible's... it won't make you anymore special than a person who only has one!? It's the message - not the container it's written in.... As regards the American flag? Well... that's a little more difficult! People get pretty emotional when it comes to area's of National Pride, Patriotism & what their flag represents both past & present in the historical context of their country & also it's position politically on the word stage. Should it be disrespected? No! But when people do show disrespect by ripping it up or publically denouncing it in flames... remember, it's only material they're hurting. They can't hurt what it stands for in the heart's of the American people! :) *sorry about the spelling mistake where I accidentally wrote the word 'Scared' instead of 'Sacred'! It's just my predictive text on my mobile... :( EXACTLY, if it stands for AMERICANS lives and freedoms why use it as an excuse to harm either ,,,,? its a piece of cloth, its manufactured, life and liberty are not,,, yea, yea, its those liberal attitudes like that that harm the country the most really? even more harm than those initiating PHYSICAL ASSAULTS?...lol odd perspective |
