Amazing Grace Baptist Church in Canton NC
will have book burning on Halloween
October 14, 4:07
The Amazing Grace Baptist Church in Canton, North Carolina plans to burn
Bibles and books by Christian authors on Halloween. Pastor Marc Grizzard
said that the King James Bible version is the only one his church follows.
Grizzard said that all other versions, such as the Living Bible, are
"satanic" and "perversions" of God's word. Grizzard and 14 members of
the Church will burn music and books by Billy Graham and Rick Warren and
other Christian authors. Grizzard blames these other authors because
they have occasionally used Bibles other than the King James Version,
and he considers that version to be infallible.
According to the Amazing Grace Baptist Church website, members will also
burn “Satan’s music such as country, rap, rock, pop, heavy metal,
western, soft and easy, southern gospel, contemporary Christian, jazz,
soul (and) oldies.”
The Cedar City Library in Utah had a mock book burning in 2007 and used
misprinted and damaged books to show patrons exactly what a book burning
is like. The reaction of the public was emotional and it showed people
that no one had the right to tell them what they could and couldn't read.
