Another example of Christianity destroying culture.

Are you seriously intimating that the big old symbol of christianity that the statue was replaced with doesn't hint at the identity of the culprits at all? You're willing to be that obtuse over this?

Besides, you can start blaming atheists for church vandalism when the atheists start leaving enormous pieces of atheist iconography behind.

Quote: Why do I never see any condemning or ridiculing comments here when this kind of thing happens?

The blog that the OP linked to does exactly that every time it reports on atheist vandalism of religious icons. The last time they did that was yesterday.

So, leaving aside that you're factually wrong, I'd say the reason you don't see us coming out against that is because I think it's generally pretty well implied that most people disapprove of vandalism, and there really isn't that many atheist vandals out there that we need to apologize for. You don't often see it because it's not common. Contrast that with the thin skin of the religious side, for whom even a highway sign stating that atheists have adopted a highway gets routinely vandalized with religious messages.

I really don't think you have much of a high horse to be sitting on, on this issue, Lek.
