We're No SIck Twisted Arsonist Pyromaniacs, But We Do Love To Type (As Well As Scream At The Top Of Our Lungs): "Burn, Baby, Burn!"*

Look long:
Unlike many websites they beat around the bush, and hide what they really are, liberals, modernist, and New Evangelicals. You want have to look at this site long before you know who we are and what we believe.
Even the WSJ is disturbed.
Last week the joke was ignited—literally, at the Halloween book burning sponsored by Amazing Grace Baptist Church in Canton, N.C. The church's Web site declared the burning to be "a great success." Works thrown into the flames included those by supposed heretics Billy Graham, Mother Teresa and emergent church guru Brian McLaren. "It was a success because God's Word was glorified and uplifted," according to the Web site. Claiming scriptural warrant for the burning, the site quoted Acts: "And many that believed, came and confessed and shewed their deeds. Many of them also which used curious arts, brought their books together, and burned them before all men: and they counted the price of them, and found it fifty thousand pieces of silver. So mightily grew the word of God and prevailed."

Most disturbing, Scripture itself was burned—onto the pyre flew modern translations of the Bible like those that the woman in the joke deplored. Amazing Grace is a self-proclaimed King James Only church: "We believe that the King James Bible is the Word of God," says the church's Web site. "We believe the Holy Scriptures of the Old and New Testament to be the verbally and plenary inspired Word of God. We believe that the KJV is inspired of God."

"Burn the witch" is fun to scream also.

Once I had to burn a lot of excess bathroom furniture.
It was a bonfire of the vanities.

We can't imagine a land so rich & wondrous, where bathroom furniture is so plentiful that the excess must be offered to the ancestors.

Not that the rugged men among us deprived primitives need furniture in there.
