Hallowe'en treat: North Carolina church to burn ‘Satan’s books,’ including works of Mother Teresa

If this preacher ever went to a seminary, he KNOWS biblical history, it's taught in just about all modern seminaries.

That means he's lying to his congregation. But you'll notice the line where it's the preacher's responsibility to decide what's god's word and what isn't?

Very convenient! For him, that is...

Burning books is un-American, but has a long, rich history in the church.

I guess we know where their loyalties lie!

14 people congregation ... shouldn't that be "a congregation of fourteen people".
A little grammar here people. I'll bet they are all related. If it wasn't so tragic, it would be funny.

Nothing quite as Christian as a good ol' fashion book burning.

Although Mother Theresa was, in fact, a terrible human being with nothing good to say about mankind.

Eh. I'm from Asheville, and this type of rhetoric tends to crop up every year. At least they aren't planning to picket the pagan gathering this year, it seems, so I suppose that's some sort of progress?

Nothing quite like that ole time religion...No wonder the super intelligent scientists are desperately seeking an earth like planet, I think once they find one they intend to build a starship and leave all this behind...I hope I'm still alive and can join them

Imagine there's no Heaven
It's easy if you try
No hell below us
Above us only sky
Imagine all the people
Living for today

Imagine there's no countries
It isn't hard to do
Nothing to kill or die for
And no religion too
Imagine all the people
Living life in peace

Didn't Hitler love book burnings? This is just a bad sign of how sick some people are.

.........

when a group thinks they know it all it leaves no information valuable.cuz they dont need it cuz they arrogantly think they have all the answers.
this is the exact stagnation to progress the religious right cause.

Perfect, they have begun to turn on themselves.

But seriously, 14 person congregation? Is that the pastor's family or what? If I were there, I would attend just for the chicken and warmth.

That caught my attention, too. King James! WTF?

"I believe the King James version is God's preserved, inspired, inerrant and infallible word of God," Pastor Marc Grizzard.

So this man is an absolute idiot and has no understanding of biblical history, why am I not surprised?

Surely these people can't even read books? I hope someone is kind enough to help them funnel the 'right' books into the fire. Are they using the same fire for the chicken? 'Cause that's just not right!

I live in north carolina and recently went to a small mountain town and stayed at my friends aunts house and she would say she goes to church every sunday and the next sentence would have the word "nigger" in it, haha. oh btw that town in the article is in the mountains
