'I Eat Babies' Painted At Central Fla. Church

Police in Sharpes, Fla., are investigating a case of vandalism at a Catholic church in which the message "I eat babies to stay young" and other words were spray painted on signs.

Officials at the Blessed Sacrament Catholic Church located on U.S. 1 north of Cocoa said vandals painted words on their main church sign and a thrift store sign. "We haven't had any problems out here before ... no other run-ins. They also spray painted another sign with the word "Ozi" and I initially thought they may have been referring to Ozzie Osborne," said Deputy Robert Johnson of the Brevard County Sheriff's Office.

The vandals caused more than $1,000 worth of damage at the church.

Besides the cost to fix the damage, church members said the "I eat babies" message is disheartening. "I'm discouraged, really discouraged," church member Frank Monachello said. "It does not make me angry. It makes me discouraged that people would do something like that. It should not be."

"The message, what does it mean? They also took green paint and totally ruined our signs," said Lula St. Jean, the secretary for the 800-member church. St. Jean said the vandals also painted a left turn arrow on a right turn only sign leading to the divided U.S. 1. "That could have been bad for someone so we took that down," she said. "It's just so senseless."

Church officials said they will replace the signs during the next few weeks. There are no suspects in the case.

If you have any information concerning this crime, you are urged to call Crimeline at (800) 423-TIPS.

He is a Christian. Forgive and turn the other cheek...

I didn't have "The Death Cookie,"

No kidding! That one's a classic. It captures his ... unique ... outlook on the world far more clearly and completely than any other.

Ummm, no, I'm merely intrigued by the speed at which you are willing to wholly disassociate any possibilty of political motivation on the part of these vandals yet admit that some who perpetrate vandalism against icons of the Left are at least sometimes motivated by ideologies associated with the Right.

I'm merely trying to probe your apparent inconsistency, that's all. No offense intended, just intellectual curiosity.

Well, I ordered my copy immediately after the reference to it. It is, indeed, an outstanding example of why Jack Chick should never be taken seriously by anyone who professes Christianity.

The best thing about Jack Chick is that he exposes himself so willingly. All his bizarre tracts are there on his site, for easy access.

Maybe he can hire the good Reverend Phelps to do some public relations for him. [grin]

[Khepera]

oh yea, I forgot. sorry.

I'm a Christian too... I'd still be mad.

[ArrogantBustard]

Maybe he can hire the good Reverend Phelps

Don't give him ideas.

Let's see if any other 'news' agencies pick up on this outside of Florida.

For vandalism? I doubt it. My parish got graffiti bombed and we didn't even make the Police Blotter in the hometown rag.

I'm feeling discouraged, very discouraged. (Whimper, whimper. Whine, whine.)

What is with the left and this Eating Babies business? Reference to the freep by Kristinn on the Moveon.org group.http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/1480507/posts . The nut case at this protest also referred to George Bush as eating babies.
