The Pastor was probably an act of “tolerance” from Prop 8 opponents.

The media doesn't cover these types of religious based vandalism. I bet we all can think of other types of religious and ethnic based vandalism that the media would cover.

All of these types of vandalism are are similar and wrong...of course.

The site doesn't give any more information on these events.

The beating of the Christian pastor in Loma Linda, California, for example, needs serious attention.

Such treatment of RC nativity scenes has a tendency to unite Protestants and Catholics in Christ. Bring on the persecution.

Stealin' the Baby Jesus is nothing new. It's an old, dumb prank. Like TPing a house.

The first item listed, the jesus-hanging-from-a-fan guy, sounds mentally disturbed.

The "baby Jesus" figure seems to be the goal of the vandals. Here are a couple of suggestions:

- Implant a GPS device in the doll to trace it's whereabouts.

- Lay the entire Nativity scene out on top of chicken wire (the ground) and connect the positive side of the fence charger to the cradle/doll.

- Put the "scene" under video surveilance.

- Hire three wise guys to beat the snot out of anyone who tries to trash it.

If someone left a ham sandwich at a masque we would hear how hate full Christians are for a year.

LOL, then dress up like an angel (not a warm fuzzy one, but more like a death angel), then show up on the doorstep of the offending party and demand that the Child be returned.

America is spiraling downwards; economically, politically, socially and morally.

The last mentioned is the engine which is driving all the others.

The brave new world of Oboma, titular head of the Party of Death and Christian Haters.

I believe everyone has had quite enough of the element in our society that is making everyone else sick to their stomachs!

"Stealin' the Baby Jesus is nothing new. It's an old, dumb prank. Like TPing a house."

"Nothing new" my @ss.

Comparing Mischief Night antics on the night before Halloween to vandalizing the hallowed scene depicting the birth of hundreds of millions Lord and Savior is disingenuous. ESPECIALLY when the one making that comparison is an avowed Atheist and anti-Christian who resents Creationists. LIKE YOU...

Some of us know you're secretly cheering this on, pal. You fool no one.
