I read this story in the BBC but was left unsure if it was done as a 'protest'/joke (like the guy who claimed to identify as being much younger to raise awareness of identity 'silliness') or was serious. Utah is one of the most heavily red states but also an anomaly in being 50% Mormon which probably leads to all sorts of weird edge cases.

Yeah but the Nazis had some help in dogma:
How Christians Destroyed the Ancient World - The New York Times (nytimes.com)
But Christians did fetishize dogma. In A.D. 386 a law was passed declaring that those “who contend about religion … shall pay with their lives and blood.” Books were systematically burned. The doctrinal opinions of one of the most celebrated early church fathers, St. John Chrysostom — he of the Golden Mouth — were enthusiastically quoted in Nazi Germany 1,500 years after his death: The synagogue “is a den of robbers and a lodging for wild beasts … a dwelling of demons.”

I did burn Heinlein "The Cat Who Walks Through Walls", because a) I was running out of charcoal for the BBQ and b) it is unutterable tulip. And I've burned a bible. Onto CD.

I recall seeing a copy of Mao's Little Red Book in a 2nd hand bookshop in Swansea about 30 years ago.
I think a chap at skool had a translation of Mein Kampf.Last edited by DoctorStrangelove; 7 June 2023, 12:14.
