Time for an old fashioned book burnin'

Wow......14 members in his Parish....and 10 of them are probably only showing up because of the fried chicken.
 
I wonder how many of his 14 members are related to him . . . I'm guessing AT LEAST 12.
 
I'm not understanding some things:

Are they mad at the books because they can't read them?

Do they know books are usually published in batches of more than one copy?

They're basically sending books to hell, Could we consider them Satan's Librarians?

I hate it when things like these only raise more questions...
 
This is from the part of the state where you have to be a snake handler to be a "real" christian, so this is not too surprising.

I wonder, though, is there really that much of a difference in the various modern translations... or is this just a publicity-savvy preacher who knows he'll get some face-time on TV and maybe sell a few non-satany bibles?

Asheville proper also has a pretty big wiccan community. I wonder how they'll respond to a nice bonfire on Halloween?

It may be enough to ignore the good ol' threefold law "An it harm none, do what thou wilt." :D

Heh. Probably by joining in and dancing around it. Skyclad, of course.

:D
 
If they are burning non-approved versions of the bible, it's only a matter of time before they start "eating their own", so to speak. If they legally acquired the volumes to be torched, I say "who cares?"

A book, in and of itself, has no special rights to protection. If they are trying to usurp others' rights to acquire the ideas, then that's another story.

Seriously - if these were magazines, we would all say "so what?" - the binding into books shouldn't make any difference.
 
Holy smoke!

If the King James bible is the only real bible, then there were no bibles in the world before 1611.
 
I've always wondered what these types think about the fact that King James was gay.
 
I hope they're buying these books to burn them. If so, I can see a really profitable market. I wouldn't even have to write the whole book, just a suitable introduction and first few chapters: I imagine I could come up with a cover and some introduction that was challenging enough that they'd never read more than a few lines in before they declared it burnable. I'd even be so kind as to have it printed on nitrated flash paper, for extra IMPACT.

A joke I guess?

But on the other hand; "Cultwhite and the 14 mental midgets"? There are probably many more weird children in the mountains.
