I was thinking about how it's seen as so irreverent to burn a bible or a flag. "Say what you want but don't touch my flag!" You know? I think that's an even bigger reason we should burn them all then change our country's (US) flag to something to else that doesn't carry the stigma of blood and greed. Also, we should burn bibles to symbolize our detachment from the word and our commitment to real truth. Not all bibles, mind you. To burn a book is an act of protest, to ban a book is a crime against humanity.
I thought of a parable about some Buddhist Monks that burned their own temple down and all the statues and gifts within. Why? Because their pretty, little temple had become the center stage of their spiritual practice. So they burned it to remind themselves what's important.
