Don't forget that there are churches being vandalized regularly. Should I immediately jump up and blame atheists? Why do I never see any condemning or ridiculing comments here when this kind of thing happens?
If someone vandalised a church I'd immediately condemn it.
Indeed, churches in the UK, specifically the historic ones, tend to be extremely beautiful with a rich tapestry of art and historical information imbued within them. People spraying graffiti over them is stupid.
Mosque's are often vandalised here following on from a terrorist attack or an atrocity committed in the name is Islam. I condemn that too, as more often than not it's done by thugs who lack the capability to demolish the religion through discourse and hence resort to petty crime instead.
