 Bible Burning and BBQ |
 |
A church in NC is planning a book burning this Halloween. Included in the list of books to be burned are any version of the Bible that is not the King James Version and books by Billy Graham. Oh, and they'll be serving BBQ if you're hungry.

The scary thing is that the church I was raised in isn't too far removed from this type of thinking. Maybe that's why I don't go anymore...

Sorry, can one of the mods move it to the 1st Amendment Forum?

 | | Books are burning
In the main square, and I saw there
The fire eating the text
Books are burning
In the still air
And you know where they burn books
People are next
I believe the printed word should be forgiven
Doesn't matter what it said
Wisdom hotline from the dead back to the living
Key to the larder for your heart and your head
Books are burning
In our own town, watch us turn 'round
And cast our glances elsewhere
Books are burning
In the playground
Smell of burnt book is not unlike human hair
I believe the printed word is more than sacred
Beyond the gauge of good or bad
The human right to let your soul fly free and naked
Above the violence of the fearful and sad
The church of matches
Anoints in ignorance with gasoline
The church of matches
Grows fat by breathing in the smoke of dreams
It's quite obscene
Books are burning
More each day now, and I pray now
You boys will tire of these games
Books are burning
I hope somehow, this will allow
A phoenix up from the flames
|
Sad.
Opting for ignorance is like choosing a lobotomy.
