North Carolina church to burn ‘Satan’s books,’ including works of Mother Teresa

A Baptist Church near Asheville, N.C., is hosting a "Halloween book burning" to purge the area of "Satan's" works, which include all non-King James versions of the Bible, popular books by many religious authors and even country music.

...

Church leaders deem Good News for Modern Man, the Evidence Bible, the New International Version Bible, the Green Bible and the Message Bible, as well as at least seven other versions of the Bible as "Satan's Bibles," according to the website. Attendees will also set fire to "Satan's popular books" such as the work of "heretics" including the Pope, Mother Teresa, Billy Graham and Rick Warren.

'Cause God knows those Papists are the devil incarnate.

I always had to admire the sheer cajones of the guy who used to drive a van covered with anti-Catholic posters decrying Papists around the Franklin Park/Elmwood Park area of the near NW Chicago suburbs. The neighborhood is filled with Hispanic, Italian, Irish, and Polish immigrants and descendents of immigrants, with a Catholic church on every other street corner.

I Schadenfreudtastically enjoy the fact that that church has 14 members.

Schadenfreudtastically

Best word o' the day. Of the week, even.

that church has 14 members.

You know, I think Satan has too many books for those 14 people to burn.

Another GREAT opportunity for improv everywhere. people should show up to the burning with porn mags ideally showing as many pictures as possible and maybe a few blown up on posters to wave about at the burning.

OR

come posing as Westboro Baptist to protest the protest.

At SFO. My flight was delayed this morning, and I was worried I would missy connection, but that flight was delayed too, so I made it with time to spare. Yay flight delays!!

show up to the burning with porn mags ideally showing as many pictures as possible and maybe a few blown up on posters to wave about at the burning.

Heh.

You could get a bunch of people to ask the Pastor, "Is this Satanic? OK, how about this?" and just keep on showing him more and more porn....

Gah! I have too many cross stitch patterns at home to be done--why am I looking at more?!? And more holiday ones, at that!! But they are very cool looking (Santa's sleigh and all nine reindeer, including Rudolph, but the patterns alone would run over $100 total).

Kathy, do not buy more. do what you have or get rid of one youhave in stock befor eyou buy another. your budget, clutter, and feeling of productiveness will thank you.
