It's amazing how people can twist things around. The book as far as I can tell, never poo-pooed christianity and Montag had to burn the Bible after he tried his best to memorize it because he would have been caught had he not. And I don't remember the book ever 'saying God's name in vain' (But don't quote me on that. I'm pretty desensitized to it now). Swearing, yes, but only 'hell' and 'damn'. These people are crazy. I bettheir daughter hear's those words 10+ times a day if she attends public highschool, watches any TV, or listens to any music.

If they ban this book, then at least the children will be forever spared from violence and bad language, since we know neither exists in high school. Oh, wait... They should probably ban "1984" too, since it says bad things about the Patriot Act. At least it doesn't make any statements about firemen.
