Wk 9 First Amendment and the news

The first amendment freedom of speech, free exercise of religion and freedom of the press. As by going through the amendment everyone has equal share of the amendment. The United States made this first amendment to help each of us in this world to have a place to be free. Speaking of free, in the amendment saying “free exercise of religion” it means any of us in the United States have a choice to practice any religion we choose.
About the news on burning a book “The Holy Book”, He has a point on one thing is that he has a choice of burning any book he choose. But at the same time it’s wrong especially burning a holy book. I feel as an American Citizen it’s showing a disrespectful to the holy book. Everyone in the United States will go against Terry Jones. Even though he will say I’m doing this for being a better person, no it’s not exceptional.
As for the pastor, he is being selfish about the whole situation. If he did burn the holy bible it would of show the lack of respect not only to his religion but to his congregation. As a Christian I would of felt betrayed by his action cause that would have represented that he doesn’t believe in what the Holy Book says or he doesn’t respect it at all. I say if he would of burn the holy book he would have lost a lot of followers and right now in America we need to have faith in Christ, to help us to overcome this disaster that has been brought to us because of 9/11. I think that Pastor Terry Jones should have jail time possibly have prison time if had burn the Bible. That’s how I feel about his decision.
