NC church plans to burn Bibles, Christian books
(AP) – 7 hours ago
CANTON, N.C. — A North Carolina pastor says his church plans to burn Bibles and books by Christian authors on Halloween to light a fire under true believers.
Pastor Marc Grizzard told Asheville TV station WLOS that the King James version of the Bible is the only one his small western North Carolina church follows. He says all other versions, such as the Living Bible, are "satanic" and "perversions" of God's word.
On Halloween night, Grizzard and the 14 members of the Amazing Grace Baptist Church also will burn music and books by Christian authors, such as Billy Graham and Rick Warren.
Telephone calls to the Amazing Grace Baptist Church and Grizzard's home were not immediately returned Wednesday.

I am as far from a liberal or modernest as a person could get, but I see it as a sad commentary on the state of The Church when a church resorts to burning Bibles.
By the way, Canton, NC is less than an hours drive from where I live. How nice that this pastor has to make the people in this part of the country look like a bunch of slack-jawed yokels. -
