in a way this reminds me of the story about the US forces flushing Qu'ran's down the toilet to upset Muslim prisoners in Guantanamo Bay (sic?)
Although I am interested in theology, I am not really a follower of any religion... but I identify most strongly with judaism and the cult of Yeshua... but if someone flushed a Torah down the toilet, I'd just think "thats stupid, that will make the toilet block up"... defiling a book doesnt defile what I stand for, I just see it is as childish and puerile... and its the same as burning a flag. I dont see that I would be upset by someone burning my flag, I'd just think it was silly... I think it is just an issue of maturity and security...I can honestly tell you, anyone could burn a St George's cross, a Union Jack, or a Star of David... I wouldnt care less, I'd just think how foolish they were.
