It's just disgustingly hypocritical.

You think they want their followers to be smart and open-minded?

^^ nope, i'm saying that the behavior feeds on itself

10/18/2009 10:01:56 AM

so do you think they are in worship service this morning praising Jesus for getting the news out so quickly or damning all the worldly heathens to hell for decrying this act of faith?

10/18/2009 10:10:31 AM

reminder that christians did this en masse once and that's why we don't have the majority of shit written in antiquity

welp

10/18/2009 11:10:01 AM

^ Which one are you talking about specifically?

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Book_burning

Was thinking of the string of incidents in the 4th century, take your pick.

10/18/2009 11:48:05 AM

They can't burn the internet! HA HA!

10/18/2009 11:50:59 AM

My favorite thing about all of this....people who do sooo much condemning are quoting random guys from the Bible. If they would quote Jesus people wouldn't be burning books and screaming "God hates fags" So I find it funny when groups like this like to ignore the words of the person they say they worship.

This isn't unique to these wackos

10/18/2009 4:16:56 PM

10/18/2009 5:35:46 PM

There's barely a dozen of them, who gives a fuck. It would be interesting to see video of a book burning, link? To each his own, some people are just ignorant.

LeBron James wrote a bible? When?

10/18/2009 10:25:09 PM

So can anyone show up for the free food, or do we have to bring a book?

10/18/2009 10:45:34 PM

Wow. So much awesome, where to begin.

There are enough people out there to to make up a target market for this kind of thing. This news story is basically free advertising for their church.

Quote :

"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. "

Don't see a problem with that last bit.

David Lynch - Man that just ties all this together.

From their website:

Quote :

"We wanted to say that the Book Burning was a great success[.] We wanted to thank all the Bible doubters who prayed for rain with us. All the protestors and media got wet; we were inside where it was nice and dry[.] We are not glad people got wet, we are glad that His Word was honored. 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. Praise God! God answered every prayer that everyone prayed, but they don't like the answer."

This is sad. Obviously none of the 14 people have ever studied the history of the Bible. I think they would shit the bed if anyone ever introduced them to the Apocrypha and how Bible cannon was established.

They even burned NKJV, their ignorance makes baby Jesus cry.
