Cheat Seeking Missiles

Posted by: Laer at 03:45 pm

ot to be a grinch, but hatred of the Christian faith is as much a part of Christmas as joyful celebration of the birth of the baby Jesus. Rarely do you see compilations the crimes against our faith that occur at this time of year, but here is such a list - and I’m sure it’s just a fraction of the total:

In Sandusky, Ohio a 50-year old figure of the Baby Jesus was stolen from a downtown park; it was found a few days later hanging from a ceiling fan in the apartment of the thief who stole it

A Christian pastor in Loma Linda, California was beaten and left in critical condition while decorating his church

In Orange County, Florida a Christian church’s drive-through nativity scene was completely demolished by vandals

The Blessed Virgin figure was stolen from a nativity scene in front of a home in Colorado Springs, Colorado

Twice within a couple of weeks, the crèche in Norwood, Massachusetts was vandalized

A drive-through nativity built by a Christian church in Stone Mountain, Georgia was destroyed

In Waggaman, Louisiana, a 38-year old man, accompanied by two boys, trashed Christmas decorations at five homes

A 50-year old statue of a shepherd was beheaded in a nativity scene in downtown Kingsport, Tennessee

The Holy Family was stolen from a crèche outside of a home in New Albany, Indiana

The nativity scene in front of a Christian church in Christoval, Texas was splattered with red paint

Figures of the Baby Jesus were stolen from homes or churches in Memphis, Tennessee; Littlestown, Pennsylvania; Valrico, California; Akron, Ohio; Chattanooga, Tennessee; Andover, New York; Sumter, South Carolina; St. Charles, Illinois; Moberly, Missouri; Lehighton, Pennsylvania; Bismarck, North Dakota; Omaha, Nebraska; Paw Paw, Michigan; North Richland Hills, Texas; Eureka Springs, Arkansas; and Independence Mall in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania.

This particular list came from the Catholic League via blogfriend Stacy Harp’s Active Christian Media. The complete list - if anyone cared to compile it - would be much, much longer … and show even more vividly why the world we live in needs Christ.
