dB-Paradox Posted February 19, 2012 Share Posted February 19, 2012 Looking for both Christian and non-Christian responses to this little experiment. Please share! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-c_fKBBq7Ew Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ouroboros Posted February 19, 2012 Share Posted February 19, 2012 Indifferent to all of them. Except... I thought (since you're a magician) that you would somehow put the pages back, unripped, by some trick. (Oh, and there's a misspelling in the beginning, "The folowing is an experiment.")

JadedAtheist Posted February 19, 2012 Share Posted February 19, 2012 It annoys me when people damage any books, even if they're not mine and regardless of content. I even rage when people fold the corners of pages to "bookmark" in my books. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mymistake Posted February 19, 2012 Share Posted February 19, 2012 Saw the video. First book made me wonder how much you paid for it and the need for recycling. Next two books were the same response. Even though I anticipated what the last one would be I felt a moment of panic followed by humor and then excitement. I was a Christian for many decades however for a time I called myself agnostic and the last several months I have been an atheist. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Max Posted February 19, 2012 Share Posted February 19, 2012 Seems like someone wasted money buying books he didn't want to read. That's all I got out of it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike D Posted February 19, 2012 Share Posted February 19, 2012 As an atheist I just saw extra paper to start the fireplace with. As a Christian I would have been mortified that someone ripped pages from the "Holy", "Sacred", "Revered" Bible. Even if it wasn't a King James. That's Blasphemy!

Ouroboros Posted February 19, 2012 Share Posted February 19, 2012 So how do you do this with a Kindle book? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flockoff Posted February 19, 2012 Share Posted February 19, 2012 Atheist and indifferent to all of them, though when you ripped the God Delusion I felt bothered to let out a lightly sarcastic "nooooooo!" in my head since it's the book I was reading the moment I realized I was an atheist and I admittedly have a fondness to it. Just a slight humorous reaction, though. I also thought you were kind of pussying through it by just ripping out a page or so per book and wondered why you didn't bring out the big ones - Origin of Species (not an "atheist" book, but you know) or the KJV.

London Posted February 19, 2012 Share Posted February 19, 2012 Atheist. Love books but I know there are 100,000's of copies of any of those books and/or you can find that info online. My reaction was "what is he going to do with the ripped pages/book now". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jdog Posted February 20, 2012 Share Posted February 20, 2012 I kinda cringed at the sound of the tearing page regardless of the title of the book because I think it's because I was taught as a kid that you don't tear pages of a book or scribble on or bend them. After my initial reaction I then thought that the books can be recycled now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
owen652 Posted February 20, 2012 Share Posted February 20, 2012 yeah but recycling is energy-intensive and wasteful Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
