I don't really understand the meaning of burning the bible but I will certainly not laugh at you or nothing ...

Was just saying the pic was scary
lol. I agree...it is kinda scary.

Grandpa was a Baptist minister and told me that a proper way to dispose of a bible is via burning it. (He now consideres himself a "Baptist Budhist")

Since burning things is a part of the Burning Man tradition (representing the notion that everything is transitory) he wanted to overlap the two paths. He has always been a fan of what Gandhi said as "All Religions are True."



Grandpa was a bit of a pioneer, too. This is him on the left with MLK


I'd love to hear about your folks' work. ([email protected] if you want it private)
