Coincidentally, yesterday was the multi-denominational lunch/prayer meeting in DC.

My guess as well. Someone mentioned meth addicts, but they have the attention span of a 2 year old because of the drugs. I doubt it was meth heads.

Soon you will be listening to the call to prayer.

Let's get a new "saying"..That one is worn out.

How about now saying, "Democrats have no solutions"?

My guess is that it's a firebug nutcase--and probably white.

I am also a life-long Baptist and come from that heritage. However, those of you claim that Baptists are NOT Protestant are mistaken, in my opinion. I will say this--I believe that the doctrines and beliefs held by Baptists are generally more "pure" and true to the Gospel and Scriptures than a lot of Christian denominations and sects. That does NOT mean that Baptists possess special truth unknown to other Christian groups--indeed, MANY, MANY, MANY Christian groups are just that: Christian.

BE CLEAR! PENELOPE DIDNT SAY THIS

Still, one has to wonder about the SotU and the link between the fight against AIDS as put out by Bush and his direct linking of AIDS to black churches. At least, such things make this one wonder anyway.

Some clown from DU said it

So dont give her any crap about it or there will be problems

Thank You for your time.

There you go ma'am, clear as crystal. ;)

yeah...they thought the DC sniper was most likely white as well...(rolling eyes). Odds are in your favor, but I find it odd that this happens right after the 'outrage' over the cartoons of Mohammed. Time will tell, but somebody ought to go take a look at some of the radical islam sites and see if there are any postings calling 'jihadists' to burn christian churches.

What I'm waiting to find out is if these churches are really Southern Baptists or just a Baptist church in the South. I don't trust anyone in the media to understand the distinction--and someone with a local phone book could likely confirm it.

Southern Baptist churches are not all white, but are mostly white.

It could be an anti-religious kook, since Southern Baptists are known to be more conservative than other denominations. Even though Alito is Catholic, his confirmation seems to have stirred up the left to a scary degree against Christians in general or conservative Christians in particular--

probably a religion of peace response to cartoon images of mohammad.

It wouldn't surprise me in the least.

So much for robbery being the motive for the arson.
