I don't believe in the magical nature of the Bible myself, but I am perfectly willing to accept the usual assertion that the evil done in the name of the Bible only uses the Bible as an excuse for evil that would have been done anyway. For purposes of this argument, however, it doesn't matter whether one accepts or discards this assertion.
If the bible doesn't make people do evil, then neither would this other book, so why ban it?
If the bible *does* make people do evil, and you still allow it to be sold, what besides rank prejudice makes it okay to ban this other book?
