In response to my
article
advising educators to rip out the propaganda pages of the textbook
"Across the Centuries" I received an email that said:
"Why don't you just burn the
books?"
Do I dare cross the line and allow myself to be
called, dare I say it, a BOOK BURNER? (gasp)
What FEAR we have of being perceived as
book-burning fascists, when in fact, many of us are worshipping books,
any book, no matter how foul the stench it holds.
If a book is immoral and provokes evil, do we
cling to it like a sacred holy object merely because it's a book?
When did we become so sniveling, weak minded and foolish?
"Also, many of those who had practiced magic
brought their books together and burned them in the sight of all.
And they counted up the value of them; and it totaled fifty thousand
pieces of silver. After that the word of the Lord grew mightily
and prevailed." Acts 19:19
There is no shame in burning evil books that
corrupt minds. I'm not saying to forbid and outlaw books, God
gave us CHOICE and it is His desire that we CHOOSE
His ways. The sorcerers written about above willingly CHOSE to burn
those books. God does not force Himself on anybody, and it would be wrong
to ban books. But forcefully spoonfeeding atheism to our sons and
daughters in public school is reprehensible and anti-American.
America is "the land of the free and the home of
the brave;" but we are in danger of quickly becoming the land of the
manipulated and the home of the cowards.
If I own a book and decide to torch it, I am free
to do so. (watch me light a match). Pictures of child pornography
should be torched. So should propaganda deceptively passed off
as a textbook fully intending to lead my children to atheism.
Of course an atheist would scream "BOOK BURNER"
for they have nothing but the knowledge of man to cling to. How sad,
because there is nothing holy or sacred in a piece of paper or the
thoughts of man apart from God.
A book is only man's thoughts put down on paper.
We have put man's knowledge,
