#1 I know all Christians are supposed to shreik in horror that a "Christian" church was ransacked. I object to the vandalism in the same way I'd object to vandalizing anything: Vandalism is mean, violent and senseless, and a violation of property rights. But I don't object on the basis that it was a 'church' or possibly a 'hate crime'. They wrote 'Ichabod' over the door of this place many decades ago. Maybe if the hoodlums went after a Bible believing church, I'd feel differently.

#2 Vandalism is bad, but I'm gonna get REALLY PISSED if I see any cartoons about Jesus.

#3 All you do is a little sacking of Rome in 445AD, and no one lets up on your case. Everytime someone trashes a place, you get blamed. Let's not stereotype out there boys.

#4 I thought the Vandals went down the Iberian Pennisula and across to Africa.

Or something.

Point taken on 'not stereotyping'. LOL.

#5 I don't think fingerpronts will do them a whole hell of a lot of good.
It's a church, there've got to be thousands of parishioners fingerprints inside it, and on a 200 year old Bible, think of all who have turbed it's pages over the last two centuries.

#6 The church's pastor, The Rev. Laurel Scott, led a cleanup of the mess yesterday and voweled to carry on.
