They Burn Books Don't They?

This happened long ago, far away, in a land no one remembers...

The Harvest Assembly of God Church (Butler County, PA.) gathered to burn their own possessions that they felt were disloyal to God. Among the "objectionable material" was music from artists such as REM, Bruce Springsteen, and Foreigner. Disney movies and Harry Potter novels were destroyed for promoting sorcery. Additionally, Mormon and Jehovah's Witness materials were burned for not being truly Christian since they promoted several gods.
