Feel better? I certainly hope so. By the way...for whatever it's worth: #1...I'm Jewish, not a Nazi-loving Christian bitch.
Jews, of all the people on this planet, should be the last to burn books. We have always been a nation of scholars and readers, and the only reason we still exist as a people is because we kept our books sacred. A Jew may violate any commandment to save his own life, save one -- he may not desecrate the Torah. Our culture survived through two millennia of persecution because we had books with which we kept it alive. That you are a bookburner is sickening to me. Please, convert or something. I have an Uncle who would be glad to tell you all the benefits of becoming a Christian. The Muslims would probably love you, too. Or consider Buddhism. Anything. Please. I admit to being an agnostic, to eating pork, to never knowing quite when Yom Kippur is...but I still have some tiny, thin, shreds of pride in my ancestry and my heritage.
#2...You have no idea who or what I am.
You are a bookburner. That is enough for me.
