    do they burn eachothers bibles to be deliberately provocative? also christian infighting would seem to be on more equal footing than our other examples.

    regardless, burning a catholic bible for having the wrong books in it in occupied ireland is a completely different gesture than an irish feminist burning a bible because the catholic church does evil shit and the cultural dominance of their shitty ideas gets people killed.

      do they burn eachothers bibles to be deliberately provocative?

      Yes. It was clearly specified in the Catechism of St. Pius X:

      32 Q: What should a Christian do who has been given a Bible by a Protestant or by an agent of the Protestants?

      A: A Christian to whom a Bible has been offered by a Protestant or an agent of the Protestants should reject it with disgust, because it is forbidden by the Church. If it was accepted by inadvertence, it must be burnt as soon as possible or handed in to the Parish Priest.

      We crack down on this shit because historically to NOT crack down on this shit has caused trouble after trouble.

        that doesn't sound like the kind of public spectacle burning that we usually talk about. nobody gives a shit if you burn something and don't tell anyone about it.

        surely we can prevent holy war without enshrining majoritarian fragility into law.
