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.
