Fragile religiosity, they don't really trust god to punish the sinners..

that’s such an interesting take on religious people forcing their beliefs on others: so what if they sin? Let your god take care of it, or do you think he’s too incompetent to deal with it himself?

Doesn't sound too bad.

I also don't think we should be burning books at all.
