How was Mohammed killed? Probably a hammer. Do muslims build giant hammers and hang hammers round their neck? No. Probably not. Do they?

I think that's reserved for the mighty ban hammer.

Right, yeah. The mods probably carry around one of those squeaky hammers all the time and bang people with it on the street. "You're banned bitch!"
Probably.

Quote:“I made it out of clay first and then a silicone mould, before I cast it. It took me months and months to make and five or six men to carry it up there and install it.
“It was very heavy and would have taken a long time to remove.”
Does that mean that it would have taken a lot of people to move the statue? If so, my bet is on a large church group, probably a church that is more fundamentalist in nature. Where do you hide a giant statue of a sea god?

I agree that it was a dastardly deed, but you might wait to see who did it before you start pointing fingers. 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?

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.

If someone vandalised a church and left behind a replica of the flying spaghetti monster it would be reasonable to assume Pastafarians were responsible.
In this case someone left behind a cross and a bible verse against worshipping other gods.

It appears that they showed this one because the vandal was cleared of any wrong doing. But I'll try to visit this site once in a while.

If you pay attention, you'll see that vandalism of churches is quite common. Just go to google and search "church vandalism. I think you're the one without the high horse Esquilax.
