BEHEMOTH - Nergal Innocent In Bible-Ripping Case By Tokemaster General, Contributor Thursday, August 18, 2011 @ 6:39 AM
The Associated Press is reporting that a Polish court has issued an innocent verdict in the case of BEHEMOTH frontman Adam Darski, who ripped up a Bible during a show and called it "a deceitful book."
"Nergal" was charged with insulting religious feelings when he destroyed a Bible in a 2007 concert in Gdynia, Poland. He tore pages from a Bible and threw them to the audience, asking fans to burn them. He also called the church a "criminal sect" — strong language in this predominantly Catholic country. Prosecutors charged him with offending religious feelings but the district court in Gdynia argued Thursday that audience members who testified in the case said they were not offended. During testimony, Nergal confirmed that the incident took place with the Bible. He remarked, however, that the concert at which it occurred, was a closed event / ticket. He added that the band depends on the fact that their concerts do not infringe on "outsiders who do not understand the message and may mistakenly understand it." Video of the Bible-tearing incident can be seen below:
