Judge in Poland OKs Singer's Ripping Up of Bible; Judge Ruled Singer's Actions Were "A Form of Art"

The Christian Broadcast Network website reports today (August 19, 2011) that a judge in Poland has found a death metal singer innocent of offending religious feeling, ruling that his ripping up a Bible during a show was a form of artistic expression.

Video of the concert in northern Poland shows Adam Darski of the band Behemoth throwing torn pages of the Bible to the audience and asking fans to burn them.

He also called the Bible "a deceitful book" and the church "a criminal sect" -- strong language in a predominantly Roman Catholic Poland.

But a judge ruled yesterday that Darski's actions were "a form of art" consistent with the style of his band.
