Priest Who Thinks Gay People Should Be Put to Death Burns a Rainbow Flag

[phands]

That good old true-xtian love and tolerance just keeps on showing....

A priest who thinks homosexuals should be put to death, like the Bible says, has cut up and burned a rainbow pride flag… ignoring direct orders from the Archdiocese of Chicago.

Rev. Paul Kalchik, a Roman Catholic priest at Resurrection Parish in Chicago, announced earlier in the month that he would burn a rainbow flag that was previously displayed at the church (seen below during the church’s inaugural Mass). He reportedly compared the Church’s “homosexual scandal” to a modern Sodom and Gomorrah.

Hmmm...It sounds like it needs a counter demonstration. People Who Think Pedophile Priests Should Be Put To Death Burn Parish Church

How long until Westboro Baptist goes Papist? They'd only have to change a few letters on their loony bus.

While I'm horrified by the idea of burning books, the odd incinerated bible would be a good counter-protest. But by no means all of them or even a significant fraction of the wasted paper that they are. There are enough to go around anyway, but the symbology shouldn't go unnoticed even xtian fuckwits like this.

Back in the day when I was doing historical reenactment, we used bibles as a convenient source of cartridge paper for musket cartridges - After all, why buy paper when fundies will happily give it to you for nothing - so I have probably burned parts of about a hundred bibles in my time. As you say, there are so many copies in the world, and so many new ones being printed, that worrying about burning bibles would be like not eating bacon in case pigs are driven to extinction.

One alternate use I've advocated in the past is for them to be hung on a nail in the toilet for when the soft paper runs out. I don't burn those gideon bibles you still find in hotel rooms.....I soak them in the sink overnight so they turn into a solid lump of pulp.
