A Prosthelytizer To Burn

News media is abuzz this week as prominent atheist and anti-religious author Gary Montague has threatened to burn a copy of RELIGION’s most sacred text in order to desecrate it and offend its adherents worldwide. As usual, everyone and their mother are demanding that you do something about this.

 

I’ve encountered with many choices

1. Montague brandishes a copy of the offending book in your face while hiding in your office from a torch-bearing mob. “This so-called ‘religious text’ endorses people who commit murder, slavery, incest, genocide, and environmental destruction as holy and devout men. It deserves burning! I don’t care how popular or moral RELIGION is these days: this so-called holy text is a blueprint for barbarism. That kind of evil has no place in our so-called civilized society.” Montague panics and flees through your window as the mob breaks down the door.

 

2. “By all that’s holy, Leader, we cannot let this happen!” exclaims devout and questionably sane prosecutor Mildred Beatty, bearing a torch and pitchfork. “NATIONSNAME will be the laughing stock of the world if this nutjob gets his way! Let me send over some agents – good men, pious men – and burn him instead! In fact, we should open a new division just for this type of good work. We’ll burn some of Montague’s books while we’re at it – some of them are dangerous, you know. Fire is bright and fire is clean! Fire will cleanse NATIONSNAME of its sins!”

 

3. “This guy Montag – is that his name? Mont- eh, whatever. It’s obvious that he’s the problem,” suggests Stoneman Black, proprietor of the CAPITAL Legitimate Businessman’s Club. “Allowing him to proceed would damage NATIONSNAME’s reputation, but so would turning into a tyrannical mobocracy. My uh… my associates and I can take him out for a small fee. Heck, we’ll even make it look like an accident. All you need to do is look the other way, and your little problem will be solved.”

 

4. “All of these people are tyrannical scumbags!” bellows the usually quiet Bic Granger, director of the CAPITAL National Library. “You’re talking about a cavalier disregard for the whole world’s entire knowledge and heritage, from cavepeople to philosophers to tabloid reporters. Books can be immortal if they’re taken care of. In fact, the government should be protecting books from the burners and ensuring that people have a right to read whatever they please, regardless of how offensive that might be.”
