Burning Bibles

Burning Bibles October 15, 2009

It’s a little over two weeks until Halloween and Samhain, and the silly season is in full swing.

A group has announced their plans to burn Bibles on Halloween. Who could be behind such a thing: Satanists? Atheists? No, it’s the members of the Amazing Grace Baptist Church in Canton, North Carolina. All 14 of them.

It seems this group considers the King James Version to be “God’s Word” and all other translations to be “Satan’s bibles.” They’re also going burn books by heretics like Billy Graham, Rick Warren, James Dobson, and Mother Theresa.

Here’s a link to a piece by the Associated Press, and a slightly longer one by the Seattle Post-Intelligencer.

Sad. Just sad.
