When They Burn Books....
Religion seems to be a popular theme here with me lately. Found another interesting story, but one in which I will not support the Church.
The Jesus Non-Denominational Church in Greenville, Michigan had a book burning recently.
They burned Harry Potter, non-King James versions of the Bible, Shania Twain CDs, Dan Aykroyd movies and who knows what else.
This is too much. There is no justifiable reason for something like this. I don't care how bad you think "Coneheads" was, there is no reason for declaring it the work of Satan.
Burning other people's ideas, whether expressed through books or recordings is an extreme step, and one which it really concerns me to see someone take.
And besides, what makes the King James Bible so sacrosanct? It's just one particular translation of a translation. It is no more right or wrong than any other interpretation.
