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.
