Yep! We have firmly established that both Christans and atheists are human beings now and being human are both quite capable of defing stereotypes and both quite capable of not living up to ethical standards they expouse, making both of them quite capable of hipocracy.

As for only aethiest propaganda being the target of vandelism...smh..nice try but you will have to take a look at how there were at least 1,237 crimes committed against Christian churches and ministries in the U.S. alone this past year ranging in severity from vandalism to violent crimes with 98 of the casesinvolving arson resulting in an estimated $24 million in property loss.

I think the whole ceo (tyrant what have you) mentality results within the phycology of any single person or small group of people who come to power in any large orginizational scocial construct or stand alone complex.

After all...doth not absolute power corrupt...absolutely.

Agreed. As individuals we are all fallible human beings. The differing institutions, however, are quite different.

I'm not denying that churches and Christians themselves are attacked. But how many of the perpetrators were atheists attacking them because they were churches. Probably no way to know that, but in this case for example, it sounds like the vandals were probably kids who were trying to make themselves look like satanists, or a remote possibility that they were real satanists, but I wouldn't expect atheists to try to point the finger at a being they don't even believe in. Here's another case which was apparently caused by teenagers being teenagers. My feeling (yeah, I know, no evidence) is that the vast majority of these acts, especially here in the US, are done by kids or by common thieves. Vandalism like this on the other hand, while not nearly as vicious as that done to churches, was clearly done by someone with a religious motivation. One of the supposed "moral majority" in other words.

And one more thing we can agree on.
