North Carolina - Where Book Burning Never Went Out Of Style

NC church decides to destroy "Satan's writing" through the cleansing power of fire.
WTF, NC?
This is long past looking through the looking glass. This is on the other side of the fucking mirror. This is more or less war on civilization. It is almost unbelievable that in this day and age, any church would see book burning as a good thing.
But fret not if all that destruction of literature gets you hungry:
I think we just killed Poe's Law.
A Baptist Church near Asheville, N.C., is hosting a "Halloween book burning" to purge the area of "Satan's" works, which include all non-King James versions of the Bible, popular books by many religious authors and even country music.
The website for the Amazing Grace Baptist Church in Canton, N.C., says there are "scriptural bases" for the book burning. The site quotes Acts 19:18-20: "And many that believed, came and confessed and shewed their deeds. Many of them also which used curious arts, brought their books together, and burned them before all men: and they counted the price of them, and found it fifty thousand pieces of silver. So mightily grew the word of God and prevailed."
Church leaders deem Good News for Modern Man, the Evidence Bible, the New International Version Bible, the Green Bible and the Message Bible, as well as at least seven other versions of the Bible as "Satan's Bibles," according to the website. Attendees will also set fire to "Satan's popular books" such as the work of "heretics" including the Pope, Mother Teresa, Billy Graham and Rick Warren.
"I believe the King James version is God's preserved, inspired, inerrant and infallible word of God," Pastor Marc Grizzard told a local news station of his 14-member parish.

Church leaders did not respond to Raw Story's requests for comment, but the website notes they will be providing "bar-b-que chicken, fried chicken and all the sides" at the book burning.

I am not seeing what there is here to discuss. Perhaps another religion thread?
The extremism is what's scary here. They're going to be burning all sorts of Bibles because they're not the "right" version. They're calling Rick Warren a heretic.
This is batshit of the highest order.
So this would just be mutilating the corpse?
It's basically just an "our sect is better than your sect" tantrum writ large.
If they were burning things that actually contained useful information, I think my outrage level would be higher.
They tried to bury us. They didn't know that we were seeds. 2018 Midterms. Get your shit together.
If you remember the church that threatened to throw out its members if they voted for John Kerry back in the 2004 election, that was in Waynesville, and just happened to be my dad's childhood church.
Oh, and they're both in the same county around 10 minutes away from each other.
I'm honestly not surprised by anything coming from there...

I'd be willing to bet that at least one instance of the word "Darwin" and the word "muggle" will go up in smoke.
All joking aside, I'm disappointed that people are still destroying works they don't like or agree with. Not surprised, just disappointed.
I don't think the works of Mother Teresa are wanting to be a bible, and at any rate they're also burning "Satan's music." Not that there's much to discuss here though beyond lolFundamentalistRetards.
In modern times, the only way to escape harmful literature is by throwing yourself onto the fire.

Why the fuck haven't you people left yet? I'll take my hordes of killer spiders and snakes any day of the week over some of the psychotic nutjobs over there.
Believe me, you should be glad we're here.

This might be the church for me.

Watchout man. You can get mobbed for that kind of observation.

What we need is a man they called... Jayne.
Yeah, that's why I'm not all too concerned. It sucks, but it's not really going to affect much, if anything in the long run.
The jerk.
In fact, we're looking at this all wrong. We need to make sure the right literature gets burnt, rather than resisting the onrushing dark age.

How long do I have?
So. Awesome.

Well played.
I can hear those skirt smoothings crackle now.
Sad, and really annoying.
Donte Stallworth, who killed someone, is not on the list
I wish to subscribe to it's newsletter.
And any tasty potluck dinners.
There will probably be a counter protest attended by twice that many. Who cares? Let them burn the Bible if they want to.

Appeared on the cover of Sports Illustrated as part of the Summer swinsuit edition. She turned down an lucrative contract from Playboy because she said she would "rather be a role model for young girls."
DAMN HER!
I know why you east coast liberals would protest this church. Because they're preaching the TRUTH.
I think this is a good thing. This will make a lot of people out there realize just how fucking crazy the zealots have gotten in this country.

I'd show up and bring some more Bibles for them to burn. And get free chicken.
An atheist society should come down and enthusiastically throw a bunch of bibles on the fire.
The thing that brought her over the edge was that she was the world champion in the 200m breaststroke. Had it been in cooking it would have been okay.
