Vandals egg house of local atheist
Here is a sad story of bigotry, threats, vandalism and terror perpetuated by “Christians”. I wonder what part of the Bible condones this action? Christians commonly accuse atheists of being intolerant of their beliefs. It would seem to me that atheists generally only use words to express their opinion. I have yet to hear of atheists trashing a Christian’s property like this.
The police sgt. said “The vandalism likely was the retaliatory work of youngsters” giving the reason that Jesus was misspelled. I have read a great many blogs and entries on public forums from “Christians” and I am not surprised about any misspelling, it is very common.

Vandals egg house of local atheist

The home of a local outspoken atheist was vandalized overnight Friday, police said — with eggs tossed at the house and cars, and crosses and religious words scrawled in chalk on the driveway.
A church bulletin also was stuck on the front door.
The incident comes days after Rob Sherman’s daughter, Dawn, led a successful effort to have the song “God Bless America” yanked from Buffalo Grove High School’s homecoming celebration. Dawn Sherman is a freshman on the student council.
The vandalism likely was the retaliatory work of youngsters, police Sgt. Mike Millett said — since it came on the heels of the school incident and because one of the chalked words, “Jesus,” was misspelled.
