When banning happens it is because the banner wants to impose his point of view and enforce it, no matter what happens.<br />The reasons for banning also say a lot about how this people are frustrated or feel they are better than others.<br />I think that the best way to teach others is living as an example, not telling others how to live their life.Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16038970825097695660noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12694343.post-23525439318752428762009-09-28T10:39:46.165-05:002009-09-28T10:39:46.165-05:00Almost worth going through the process of getting ...Almost worth going through the process of getting the Bible challenged, but in truth I don't think the Bible should be banned - just treated as mythology the way other mythology/religion books are treated. <br /><br />I guess I am not completely against the concept of banning certain literature, since I am currently boycotting amazon.com for continuing to sell dogfighting and cockfighting promotional and instructional materials (books, videos and magazines). I guess everybody has their own line in the sand.Blueberryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17357299403457746440noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12694343.post-20540800419263079302009-09-28T09:44:00.035-05:002009-09-28T09:44:00.035-05:00The Bible has not been put on any lists, even thou...<i> The Bible has not been put on any lists, even though it has the whole list of qualifications for being challenged.</i>.<br /><br />HAH!
