The movies, which included classic titles like “Kinky Business” (with Ginger Lynn) and “Private Teacher,” were set afire in a ceremony following the Sunday sermon.

“You guys can be a part of making this land holy,” Rev. Mark Eldredge told his flock as he set fire to the pile of film. “To have a piece of property and take it from unholy to holy is awesome.” The bonfire was then put out with a special tank of blessed water from the local fire department. Now that’s a burning bush!

The church purchased the 60-year-old, 13-acre drive-in a few weeks ago and, after inspecting the property, found the dozen or so rusty reels hidden above the concession stand. How a drive-in theater would get away with showing XXX-rated movies on a property right off the highway is so far a mystery, but we’re going to bet that between the teenager’s calls for extra butter and the jumbo-sized franks, the Playtime Drive-In could have made quite a bit of porn on its own.
