"Marc Grizzard, of Amazing Grace Baptist Church in Canton, North Carolina, says that the first King James translation of the Bible is the only true declaration of God’s word, and that all others are “satanic”. Pastor Grizzard and 14 other members of the church plan to burn copies of the other “perversions” of Scripture on Halloween, 31 October."

Ah, nothing like a good old-fasioned Halloween Bible-Burning to encourage people to join your church!

Are there any other translations of the Bible that attract fundamentalists in the same way as the King James? I can understand why people would choose to elevate the KJV above all other translations - it's got the authoritative weight of being old along with the more important weight of sounding very old - but you think occassionally you'd hear about crackpots that have developed an obsession with some other version. Is there, for example, a specific German translation that tends to be at the centre of nutty interpretations?
