I blogged
earlier about the Halloween plans at the Amazing Grace Baptist
Church in Canton, N.C., which included friend chicken and a burning of
satanic music and books, most notably bibles that aren’t the King James
Version. According to an update on
the website (sound warning – the link has automatic audio), the book
burning was a success. However,
due either to rain or a request from the Chief Deputy (or maybe both, this was
a little unclear to me), the event had to be moved indoors, where the books
were cut, rather than burned:
Some have written praising God that he intervened and stopped
the Book Burning because of the rain, protestors, and state laws about burning
paper. Nothing was stopped. 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.
The website also includes a Q & A, future book burning
plans, and the scriptural bases for burning. Mother Teresa
and the Pope
are included among authors whose works will be burned.
