Anyone surprised by this one?

And the last line below is the most revealing part about it.

"Thanks for that anti-Semitic, stereotypical remark."

"Probably not that acquainted with English."

"Someone needs to tell him that presidents don't behave like the drumpster fire. Most tend ..."

"It's there. Not in the Fallen, Earthly copy. In the one on the Heavenly plane."

What a terrible thing to do! I can’t fathom why someone would steal from a church, even a church that takes stances one may disagree with.

I sincerely hope that the thief truly needs the money and is using it to become a better person.

Is it telling at all that the chalk vandalism of an atheist sign drew calls for condemnation from commenters while readers have so far stayed quiet about a more substantial evil perpetrated against a church?

I hope that’s not the actual church where the janitor works or someone might see the photo and know who it is!

at the least, it’s telling that these 2 reports are on an atheist website; i’d imagine a reverse response on a christian site. to be honest, tho, i wouldn’t class this as the greater of 2 evils. the church thefts (if they are true) are a presumably christian individual robbing his own community, whereas the vandalism was a hate crime, specifically carried out in order to offend a particular group that the perpetrator presumably sees as ‘opposition’. the theft is an act of self-centred disrespect, the vandalism however is both spiteful and malicious. although the graffitti was certainly on a lesser scale, i’m judging on apparent intentions.
