You folks may remember a previous post on Amazing Grace Baptist Church in Canton, North Carolina and the book burning they were planning to have. The Church, run by Pastor Marc Grizzard, was planning to burn the usual targets: heavy metal music and smutty movies. But they also planned to torch all translations of the bible other than the KJV:
“We are burning Satan’s bibles like the NIV, RSV, NKJV, TLB, NASB, ESV, NEV, NRSV, ASV, NWT [...] These are perversions of God’s Word the King James Bible.”
And then there would be fried chicken with all the sides.
Well, the best laid schemes of mice and morons often go awry. The blog “Right Wing Watch,” declares it the Worst. Book Burning. Ever:
“But when the big day came around, a combination of rain, protesters, and a state law against burning paper all conspired against them. Here’s what happened:”
Bless their hearts.
They tries to make the best of it. According to their website:
Our goal was to destroy garbage as noted below, and we did just that. We didn’t care how it was destroyed; only that it was destroyed. These same people must have never heard about “Paper, Rock, & Scissors.” Scissors cut paper, and paper tears real easy. We destroyed everything as planned. Praise God!
No word on the fried chicken.
Bwwwwwaaaaaaahhhhaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaahahahahahahahahaaaaaaaaaaaaaa! Classic retardation…
“God’s Word the King James Bible”
because it took the English to finally understand what god was talking about.
“because it took the English to finally understand what god was talking about.”
yep, it’s in our list of many great achievements!
I’m convinced they grow these people on a farm somewhere using too much fertilizer. That would explain why they have sh*t for brains.
Amen!
“God answered every prayer that everyone prayed, but they don’t like the answer.”
Yah, if I spent all that time praying and got nothing but silence, I wouldn’t like the answer either.
From their web-site
My wife and I have been in ministry for 25 years from janitor to pastor to church planter.
what a bunch of maroons
ditto
Pathetic…
Couldn’t they have at least recycled all that paper? Or will anything tainted with evil 50% post-consumer waste also be evil? Or is it 50% evil?
That was going to be my question, Jerdog. Do some good with all that “evil” stuff for a change. Their website is terrible looking, eh? It hurt my eyes.
If God was really going for clarity, he would have waited for the invention of Lojban.
He must have had some other goal in mind, like turning otherwise decent people into irrational fanatics. Quite successful, if you ask me.
That was so sad it wasn’t even funny, and I think they forgot to include the LOLcat Bible.
I’m still trying to figure out whether that’s pathetic or hilarious. Can I vote for both without being contradictory?
patharious?
This is sad.
Wonder if any of them thought maybe “God” didn’t want them to burn his stuff, so he made it rain?
