Yeah I hear ya. I'm pretty conservative politically and I don't like Obama, but I didn't like Bush either, and approving or disapproving of Presidents doesn't factor into my faith at all.

This pastor is such a silly silly man.

He stepped into somthing that surely God has not called him to do.

But it may start muslims to bomb some of the churches here - which just may have a silver lining.

Persecution has always been good for the Church.

Do Muslims have zero self control?

I think the burning of Bibles would provoke several public statements of condmenation and pass.

Why?

Because our God transcends the existance of a physical book. Religions who have no foundation but their writing... well... they might be rather outraged.

Some other thoughts come immediately to mind...

The Hussite Reformation which took place in the 1200's in Bohemia was a real awakening of Christian thought and freedom. The believers in Bohemia and Moravia (today's Czech Republic) thrived and grew. It was a blessed spring time of revival and hope.

Then came the persecution. The royal house of Bohemia was all but wiped out. The rich silver mines were turned over to the Austrians. The hillsides were littered with the corpses of those who had once breathed and lived freely.

Today? Almost no one even knows what I'm talking about. Yeah, persecution was "good" for those believers and those who follow them.

Ouch. Okay... it's sometimes good for the church. LOL
