"Last night, Mt. Juliet pastor and pro-Trump conspiracy theorist Greg Locke decided to turn it up a notch by organizing an old-fashioned book burning. The books included millennial staples like Harry Potter and Twilight — hits of the early Aughts that were targeted by Christian book burnings back in the day.

In a sermon preceding the bonfire, Locke described beefing with "Free Mason devils" and said "I ain't gonna be 'suiciding myself' no time soon." Locke also said people aren't mad that they were burning books, but mad because of the books they were burning — implying that his critics, even other pastors, were devil and witchcraft supporters."

What will those wacky, right wing, Trump lovers think of next?

My God.

When was that other book burning? I can't remember, sometime in the 30's I believe...

Ach. I'm sure someone from the right will remember. They're forever harping on about them...

The pastor's very actions go to firm up the idea that these books and other items are quite powerful, potent

They didn't "ban" it. They replaced it with another book in the 8th grade syllabus because they felt it was too intense for 8th graders in some areas, a perfectly reasonable decision. If it were 12th grade, the decision would have been less defensible.

Even since my wife made me sit through one of those movies, I heartily agree with banning Twilight.

You asked a loaded question that you already know the answer to.

I answered it. Just having the right to do something doesn't mean you're not a loony if you do it.
