Via Raw Story:
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 local news video is priceless.
Now, granted, this church, only has 14 members, but there’s something eerily familiar about the thought process. When I read this story, with it’s seemingly never-ending list of who (and what) aren’t “real” christians I immediately thought of the Republican Party – but, perhaps that’s just a symptom of my obsession. Although, I have been saying for quite a while that the GOP strikes me more as a “religious” organization rather than a political party. Maybe my leap was triggered by all the proposed bible burning – as in that bible isn’t a “real” bible.
Whatever the case, this is just spooky. At least they’ll be having “bar-b-que chicken, fried chicken and all the sides” at the burning, so bring the kids.
Another interesting note: I can’t get on the churches website. It states that it’s in “System Reserve.”
