Hardtack you don't seem very honest. Prayer has been gone from schools for a half century, I think. School shootings started about 8 years ago. Non-Christian nations like Japan don't have school shootings like Christian USA..highest crime rate in the world.

The bible is responsible for so much death, I think I will burn one just to take out my frustrations on it.

The bible has been responsible for countless deaths throughout history across all countries and continents. I don't know of any porn stars that have died from pornography. Drugs maybe but it would take until the end of time for pornography to catch up. And not even then since the bible kills many more each day as it stands.
Look at the middle east right now. Isreal stands because of the bible and the surrounding countries denounce the belief of the bible which in turn brings more violence and death.
I'm not a huge porn fan but it doesn't even compete with the bible when it comes to death. Kill every porn star the is, was or will ever be alive and it will be a blip on the map, death-wise.

Neither the Bible nor pornography has ever killed anyone. People kill people. Have people used the Bible as an excuse to kill people? yes- but that does not make the Bible the culprit. The Nazis used Evolution as an excuse to wipe out 'inferior' races. Does this mean evolution killed people? No- people do what they want to and try and find ways within their cultural context to justify and/or glorify their actions. The Catholic Church in the Middle Ages slaughtered thousands of people for holding different beliefs AND... interestingly enough- killed some *including William Tyndale- the man most responsible for the Bible first being translated into English- for making the Bible available for the common man. They tried to justify their actions and expand their powers with religious excuses/justifications but they really had no basis from the Bible. The Bible teaches "If it is possible- so long as it depends on you- live at peace with all men."
Pornography is much more destructive as its very nature portrays women as sex objects and contributes to sexual deviancy- probably making rape more likely. But even so- pornography does not rape women nor does it kill. People do that- perhaps under influence of what they chose to be influenced by but it was still wholly their decision

religion killed no one, stupidity of religious people has killed people. We have an excellent example today. Christians insanely pursueing the elimination of abortion supproted a merchant rulled goverment becuz they (the merchants) promided them what they wanted. It was important to illiminate abortion as a murder of an innocent without any thought about same, but the merchants had done all they could b4 the second election, and christians voted for a known war monger. They clearly were fooled cuz of stupidity, and it might even persist longer cuz they do not want to admit they made a mistake. These christian leaders who supported these merchants now have been receiving money for their charity (what was charity now Gov. supported mission work) works and now in effect are being bribed to remain part of the R base. Yet if you asked any cristian if they agreed with any one thing the Rs represent they would say that is not right. So they are stupid and easily fooled. They have been persuaded that gay marriage is a big deal and yet gossips who are equally sinful practically live in their churches without being confronted,,, go figure.

Religions have started more wars and killed more people than any other reason but don't try to blame religion for the school shootings that's just people with mental issues not receiving the attention or care they needed before losing it and going postal....

Thought provoking question but the Bible is not responsible for the death of even one person. The MANY deaths that occurred in the name of God, Jesus Christ and the Holy Bible were not a result of biblical influence but the influence of all that is evil and Satan himself. The Bible teaches nothing of the sort. Just as is often done in other religions, sacred scriptures are taken out of context and manipulated in order to serve the purpose of one or many who are not seeking after their god, but they're own selfish agendas. It is not wise to characterize Christians as a whole or their Holy scripture by these heinous acts. Neither is it acceptable to do so to any other religion.
Be Blessed and Blessed Be

Well As I think,
What is common in BiBle & Porn...?
Why did u compare them..
What is the link???
However,,,,
Comparing it in different way,
I say,
Porn kills selfesteem of every person who watches it.
Porn kills respect for other gender.
Porn kills the connection between a human & his creator..
Porn kills ur inner self...
Porn kills Morality.
Porn kills the "sense of NOT DOING sins".
Porn kills the sense that u should not have sex out of marriage (which gives birth to unloyality among wife & husband)
Porn kills the sense of not to make up with real sisters & brothers
Etc....
Now see how many poeple are finished like this....
Bible & Quran say Dont do all these things.....
SO Is Bible (& Quran) trying to save human or killing them....

The Bible doesn't kill anyone its extremist charismatic leaders who use the Bible and religion as an excuse to murder. There is nothing wrong with pornography it express primal human nature.

Talk about overgeneralizations. Well, Japanese aggression in the late 1930s and early 1940s killed millions.
You're just a wacked out Christian basher on a late night rant. What a mess.
