A trailer full of bibles appears to have been intentionally set on fire at Greg Locke’s Global Vision Bible Church before Easter service, police say.

        I’m not Black, but Lol, the likelihood of a hypothetical black racist, vandal so desperate to get out their fantasized rage against poor rural whites and using the self lable of “Blacks” and also the vernacular of “rule”, which seems in about the 14-year-old white range, is so unlikely it’s pathetically obvious to everyone but this dumbass.

      Yep, there’s no way anyone would bother to burn a bunch of Bibles, whether that’s atheists or competing religions.

        You know. I heard stories as a teen of some evangelist whose Bible grew manna. And eating it caused divine revelation.

        I assume they just baked some sort of sugar cookie, and the revelations and stuff were mostly just the work of an overactive imagination couple with an inactive sense of honesty.

        Maybe they were shrooms…

    These ridiculous, foolish people…

    Religion is the one mental illness that is not allowed to be called a mental illness.

    Don’t worry! Trump will sell them bibles for $60 each to replace the ones lost in the fire!

    They’re wasting good rolling papers. A little honey from a fast food restaurant to seal it. I heard it works great. Something I read.

    Good thing tax dollars are being spent on the hunt for the perpetrator(s) of this heinous act. Those inanimate objects will get the justice they deserve.

    I hope those bibles were stolen or donated though, makes no sense to feed the machine you’re fighting against. Plenty of places online will ship you free religious texts of all flavors. Bonus: you’ll get extra junk mail once in a while with some batshit crazy prophet’s end of the world warnings (but salvation is only 4 easy payments of $19.99). Don’t have to go looking for your entertainment anymore.
