Main disagreement: I honestly don't understand this idea that destroying a religious text is somehow a horrible thing to do. It's a book. Squiggles printed on paper. It's ridiculous to claim that any particular selection and order of the squiggles makes destroying the book somehow horrible, while destroying another compilation of squiggles on paper is perfectly fine.
