A controversial pastor is planning a "massive burning" of Harry Potter and Twilight books, as well as other items, in Tennessee.

Global Vision Bible Church pastor Greg Locke was met with cries of approval on Sunday when he declared there would be a "burning service" this week.

Locke, who operates out of Mt. Juliet near Nashville, told them to bring Ouija boards, which he called a "portal to hell," and other items he said were associated with witchcraft.

***********************

Books, movies, games, crystals.... you name it.

I don't like what he's doing, but I like that he's out-ing himself for the fascist that he is.

1. I don't suppose a simple "Just don't read them if you disapprove of them" will work on these

monsters...

[lame54]

2. I hope the burning Ouiji board...

Opens the portal beneath them

[electricbro45]

4. Oh for sure....

These so called "Christians" deserve to go to their hell for all the hell they put the rest of society through............assholes.

19. Y'know...

This is my belief on heaven and hell.

Both places are where the memory of you resides in the people who knew you.

If the people who knew you have good memories of your time on earth, you're in heaven.

Conversely, if the people who knew you have bad memories of that period, you're in hell.

Guys like this preacher are hell-bound. Do you really think anyone will have a good thing to say about these jerks after they die?

24. Reasonable comment!

I am so far into Agnostic that I just don't know what I believe any longer. I was a Christian, but not a crazy right wing one long ago. I have been pushed so far into that Agnostic position, by life experiences mainly. So I don't know if I believe in heaven or hell or any of it.

I hope karma truly exists because I agree that some kind of punishment should await this preacher. If that is hell, so be it. Something else, so be it.

Will anybody have anything good to say after these jerks die? Probably not, but you might get the crazies saying "he was such a good man" and all that horse shit. I have major issues with organized Christianity and this pandemic isn't making those go away LOL

3. The author of Harry Potter was asked how

she felt about people burning her books. She thought it interesting as they had already given her their money. She was pretty much, “burn away!”

[lame54]

5. In an unrelated story...

Sales for Harry Potter and Twilight have skyrocketed

Can't burn what you don't have

[TrogL]

12. Sales of Maus on Amazon have gone through the roof

[Coventina]

25. This reminds me of that Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt episode....

[Solly Mack]

6. Sick. Warped. Demented. Deranged. Dangerous. Wackadoodles.

[scarletlib]

7. Shades of Savonarola.

Book burning not a good move in any century.

[Zorro]

16. It would be fitting if he suffered the same end as Savonarola

[Coventina]

26. + infinity. n/t

8. A young man that lives across the street from me goes to this church.

We’ve had several “visits” about his following down every conspiratorial rabbit hole there is. He actually believes God speaks to him through this church.

He said he would pray for me. I replied that he shouldn’t waste his time.

I feel such pity for him that he’s so misdirected if he’s really looking for a higher power.

[Ilsa]

14. Just wait until his pastor gets outed for

possessing porn, gay porn, child porn, having an affair, running a drug ring, human trafficking ring, or stealing from the church. The guy across the street will disappear from your orbit while he deals with his crisis of faith.

I suspect a man as focused as this pastor seems to be harbors some self-loathing vice or illegal activity.

[albacore]

21. "... out for...." the word should be "and", not "or" doing all that stuff. nt

[albacore]

22. ... and you left out "farm animal porn". nt

[ashredux]

37. No doubt "Animal Farm" will be burned...😊

[2 Meow Momma]

23. I think notoriety and money are the pastor's goals, but like you say,

he may be setting his own legal/moral trap. I believe he has services in a tent. The neighborhood has asked that he turn down the volume of his sound system. After that he said he was surrounded by evil...so he turned the volume up. I haven’t heard if there’s been a resolution.

9. A true believer in superstition tells us these books offend his superstitious beliefs.

[spanone]

10. Fuck these grifting 'pastors'.

[MagickMuffin]

11. Gotta link?

Fun Times!

[MissMillie]

13. I added one, thanks for pointing out that I had forgotten it. (n/t)

.

[Gore1FL]

15. I assume he'll need a permit.

I bet he doesn't get one.

[sanatanadharma]

17. Just itching to progress to a witch in his hell fire...

...and you know he wants to fuel his fire with faggots

[Deep State Witch]

18. Twilight is Garbage

But it still doesn't deserve to be burned!

First they burn books. Then they burn people.

[MagickMuffin]

20. Who lives close enough to take bibles to pick in?

I would if I lived closer. But not near close enough for me to contribute

[MissMillie]

30. I don't see the need to stoop to their level

"When they go low... "

[Jacson6]

27. Oh the bible is a book of myths. So they should burn that instead.

[mercuryblues]

28. Are any Duers are close by

Go there with bibles to burn.

It has incest, torture, sex, murder, rape, abortion

[Tickle]

29. Someone tell the pastor that

we are digital now

[struggle4progress]

31. '... Locke has pushed COVID-19 misinformation and .. branded the pandemic as "fake."

He also discouraged his supporters from getting inoculated against the virus ...'

32. Potluck and christian fellowship after. I hope Suzy makes her green bean casserole.

[themaguffin]

33. "pastor?" nah, grifter.

[634-5789]

34. Pastor? Nope. Hypocritical MAGAt? YEP.

[The Unmitigated Gall]

35. Well shit, don't stop there, you little fascist magat.

You gonna burn Newton and Galileo too?

[machoneman]

36. Tie a Bible to his hand and bur...can't finish this as DU will delete and send a warning. Too bad.

[Permanut]

40. I'd like to suggest a book for the burn pile..

- One where a god kills 70,000 innocent people because a king David ordered a census of the people.

- and where this god also orders the destruction of 60 cities so that the Israelites can live there. He orders the killing of all the men, women, and children of each city, and the looting of all of value.

- and where in one section He orders the murder of all the people of Jabesh-gilead, except for the virgin girls who were taken to be forcibly raped and married.

- and the same god also allows slavery, including selling your own daughter as a sex slave .

- where this god flooded the entire earth because he regretted making human beings.

This one sounds worse than any of the others. Just sayin'.
