Just pretend this article constantly referred to ‘lazy Hispanics’ or ‘immoral gays’ or ‘over-sexed Negroes’ and you might understand my anger.

Are the last few comments serious? “I really don’t think so all southerners are worth to be put down.” This is just weird.

The most offensive and annoying aspect of this article is the constant usage of the ‘ignorant hillbillies’ theme. Why is this still acceptable? Annoyed Librarian needs to deal with his/her own ugly stereotypes and prejudices.

I think we should not put down people…I really don’t think so all southerners are worth to be put down…because there are not so good people in every state or anywhere on the planet earth….

I think they say something incomplete. They forget that everything on this earth is both good and evil. Just as TV or technology is good but it is also bad…just depend on how it is used…I don’t think so that pastor is bad….if they forced on people to get all their New translation to get burned etc…that’s different…I think that’s just an expression to becareful what we read …

As a church planter in the Western North Carolina area this has been an issue I have run into with many of the peope we have invited to our church. Even people that haven’t been to church in 20 years will ask, when invited to a service, “What version of the bible do you use?”, and when I ask why they always respond “KJV is the only authorized bible.” I think many of the people here in the mountains just say that because thats what their grandparents told them in Sunday School. This area even has a KJV radio station that makes the same assertions, of KJV only, that this pastor has made on the evening news. I find it irronic that on the churches sign it says “Television is a monster of Satan”, and yet he is using TV to deliver his story. Are we worshiping the bible and it’s content or the One who inspired men to iniscribe the Good News?

I’m amazed that anyone still considers book burnings to be a good PR move, given the immediate association with some unsavory characters in history who’ve enjoyed the same sport.

It’s a shame that we have people who still put people of the South down. We are not hillbillies and this is just another way to put Southerns down. This person has the right to his beliefs just as you have the right to yours. If you would read your Bible you might have compassion instead of putting others down. I might not totally agree with this pastor but I don’t have the right to judge him either. We live in the bible belt and I think God that this is where I was born and raised. If we are such hillbillies then why would you want to come and live in our great state?

I can’t believe I’m the first one to ask the truly important question–what’s the recipe for the pumpkin cocktail?

I don’t know what this has to do with being a librarian. I could care less if anyone wants to hold a book burning. Personally, I think there are plenty of books that should be burned — especially all books written by Danielle Steel and James Patterson!
