    Great, it’s still a stupid and insane law. Prohibit ALL public burnings of books? Ok I think it’s stupid, but whatever. But only protect those with religious significance? This is just an awful precedence.

    Religions don’t deserve respect, because they don’t respect others. Nevermind the fact that they are essentially fables and folklore told by adults.

      I’m OK with prohibited public burnings for the purpose of fire safety, I guess. Beyond that, I don’t think I’d want to limit free speech in this manner.
