4. The whole charade was a stunt

to get a new Hyundai. And it worked brilliantly.

6. Extortion.

I need a new car. Should I threaten to blow up city hall if I can't afford the payments?

8. Yeah, really.

Go AWAY, Pastor Pyro!

10. Florida pastor's daughter says "he needs help"

BERLIN | Fri Sep 10, 2010 1:35pm EDT
BERLIN (Reuters) - The estranged daughter of a U.S. pastor who has threatened to burn copies of the Koran believes he has gone mad and needs help, she said in a German media interview conducted on Friday.

I like your story and I think that the above web site looks good and is related to your story.

I am glad that they got this wanna-be Quran Burning Christian Crusade War Monger settled down and off of the news on my television set. Pastor Jones would have started up some religious wars right here in America if he would have gotten his way.

Timothy McVeigh attended a white supremacist church in Missouri near the Oklahoma border before he blew up the Federal Building in Oklahoma City on that tragic day.

I hear plenty of people wanting to burn Qurans but I never hear of a public movement to burn white supremacist christian bibles. Burning bibles because there were several Christian Extreamists in history like
Eric Robert Rudolph(know as the Olympic Park Bomber who also took park in blowing up many abortion clinics)
Timothy McVeigh and if you gave me some time, I would bet you I could come up with a long list of Fanatic Christian Extreamists that like to kill as many people as they feel necessary for their idea of Jesus Christ.
Many people backing our current wars believe that Jesus wants them to kill, bomb and torture in thier distorted so called Christian views.

People ask me "why am I a Peace Activist"?
I just want people to act civilized to each other before wars end this planet or make it inhabitable.
FYI- the "Peace Symbols" on the car in your photos originally were designed by an artist by the name of
Gerald Holtman and were code for the letters "N" and "D" and it stands for "Nuclear Disarmament".
The symbol was used in the late 1950s' and early "60s' before the hippy movement.
The symbol was used by short haired college students who had never used drugs,and the carried the symbol on signs protesting against Nuclear Proliferation in England.
In later years the hippy movment over used the symbol and now most people do not know what it means.
If you are interested in the true meaning of this Peace Symbol you may want to do a search on the "Campaign for Nuclear Disarmament" (CND).

12. I just wanted to add something before someone gets upset

I meant to say in my previous post that I believe in tolerance between different Religious faiths.
I would never advocate burning a bible or a quran for that matter.
Some times when I get on a writing rant as in my previous post people may not understand my intentions and I don't mean to make anyone mad.
As far as Christians go, I likethe Quakers because they made peace with the American Indians and have a long history of peace making in and along side our government.
The Quakers hold a seat in the United Nations to this very day.

Thank You and Good Night.

11. Way to reward a douchebag. I'm glad he gave the car to a battered women's shelter though.
