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.

Well, excuse me but after noticing the personal flair they chose for this message, I say one must dig deeper. Since the good pastor seems so sure of a vendetta against him, maybe there would be some one to step forward with notice of a grievance.

The fact that “did it themselves, just to gain attention” can’t be ruled out as a candidate explanation says a lot about Greg Locke and evangelicalism in general.

Anyone with any information or camera footage can call contact the Wilson County Sheriff’s Office at 615-444-1459.

LOOK INSIDE THE HOUSE. /s

I wonder who it is that owned the trailer/ bought the trailer and open up all the bibles and see if they are all stamped with their own church information on them. This reeks of an inside job for attention seekers, I wouldn’t be at all surprised if they “forgive” whoever did it and won’t seek charges so that the investigation gets dropped before anyone finds out it was the pastor himself.

If they want so bad to be oppressed, and are going to try so hard for the gold in the Oppression Olympics, maybe it’s time to start accommodating them…

Well christians did want to ban and burn books, so… this is a step in the right direction.
