No, this church, The Amazing Grace Baptist Church, is not burning Catcher In The Rye or Heather Has Two Mommies, the usual smut. They're burning Bibles! Bibles?
Uhh, yeah. The dumb Bibles that aren't the King James ones. Does the King one have better shit in it? Who can say? Have any of you ever read any of the Bibles?
The Scriptural bases for what we are doing each year is found in Acts 19:18-20 "And many that believed came, and confessed, and shewed their deeds. Many of them also which used curious arts brought their books together, and burned them before all men: and they counted the price of them, and found it fifty thousand pieces of silver. So mightily grew the word of God and prevailed."
Gah, does not compute.
Also:
We are not burning Bibles written in other languages that are based on the TR. We are not burning the Wycliffe, Tyndale, Geneva or other translations that are based on the TR. We will be serving Bar-b-Que Chicken, fried chicken, and all the sides.
If you are in North Carolina on Halloween, please go to this book burning and take some pixxx for us.

have to work, mentally, for your whole life, training yourself to be as
insane as fucking possible about everything, every object you see,
every interaction you have, to the point where you would plan or attend
this church’s Halloween book burning non-ironically, agreeing with each
aspect of this itinerary on earnest grounds, actually believing that
this event would result in some sort of pure, positive good, and then
telling people in public, on the publicly available Internet, about
this event. Try to imagine for yourself a hypothetical psychological
path that would lead you to this sort of existence. “Clinical
psychosis” won’t even get you halfway.")
