Church Members Burn Harry Potter, Other Books

This is so cool, I thought people had all but given up on actually burning books.

ABC News has This Story on the Harvest Assembly of God Church in Butler County PA.

Don\’t worry, they burned more than just Harry Potter Books, included were animated videos (Pinnochio and Hercules), CD\’s from Pearl Jam and Black Sabbath, and (here\’s the funny part) pamphlets from Jehovah\’s Witnesses.

I guess they are afraid of a little competition.


\”Our purpose comes out of the Bible,\” the Rev. George Bender of the Harvest Assembly of God Church in Butler County. \”We read in the Bible how people, after they received Jesus Christ as their savior, took things out of their homes and burned them. They [the members of the congregation] received Christ and they willingly did this.\”
