"The Catholic League for Religious and Civil Rights and the Christian Anti-Defamation Commission are calling for disciplinary action against biologist Paul Z. Myers. On July 24, he placed a video on his blog in which the Eucharist - the communion wafer that Catholics believe is the body and blood of Christ after it has been consecrated by a priest during Mass - was pierced with a rusty nail."
This made me think. Would people on this ASA list be upset if Myers took a Bible and nailed it to the wall? How about a "Bible on CD?" What about a "Bible on cassette?" Just wondering as to some opinions. I suspect that nailing a Bible would upset many, but nailing a cassette would mean nothing ... why is that? Both the book and cassette are only vehicles for transmitting the message. Can this reveal if the Bible (in book form) has become an idol in the minds of some?
