A furniture gallery in Murrieta California has fallen victim to a Jesus-loving graffiti evangelist(s). They struck in the darkness of night and decorated several trucks with catchy phrases like "Jesus died for sinners," "Jesus loves you!" and "Jesus saves! Are you saved?"
Susan Heying, the stores owner, didn't seem too upset over the matter. Actually she somewhat impressed with the quality of their work. She didn't know why it had happened, but she did recall a Christian woman complaining about the store's merchandise, which includes Buddhas, bamboo, wicker, and other accessories.
But Kim Barriga, an interior designer next door, wasn't as lighthearted. As a Christian, Barriga finds the vandalism disturbing:
Even if the vandal was a youngster, it's hard to believe that anyone who considered himself a Christian would choose vandalism as a way to spread the word.
Now Barriga has a good point, Christians are a loving bunch that only wishes the best upon their fellow man. At least that's what I thought until Barriga uttered this:
They're going to go to hell. But I'm not judging.
Of course you're not judging Barriga :)

So when is the state department going to classify the church as a gang?

Has she never driven under an overpass on a US highway?

youth of every single group uses graffiti to say whatever they think, be they atheist, muslim, christian or otherwise. Maybe with the exception of the old and retired.

I hate bible thumpers so much. I don’t hate christians as a whole. What i do hate so much, is christians that either believe completely blind faith in their religion, to the point that they can quit their job and /EVERYTHING/ will be provided for them, or those that think it is their ‘purpose in life’ to MAKE everyone else be a christian.

Please, is she an idiot? Given Christianity’s long and bloody record of using force to spread Jesus’ word, what is a little graffiti?

God damn annoying, that’s what. Pun intended.
Still, there’s some comedic gold to be found here. Just for fun:
Speaker: “Welcome to the 25th annual meeting of Vandals Asserting God’s Immeasurable Nurturing Authority.” (V.A.G.I.N.A) “Today’s graffiti message is ‘Jesus cleanses all’. Any questions?”
Member: “What about spraypaint? Does Jesus cleanse that?”
Speaker: “Only satan’s followers would dare do that… which brings me to my next point. If you see anyone cleaning up your vandalism, punch them in the face and run away. Don’t forget to tell them that how much Jesus loves them.”
Member: “Can we kick them in the stomach?”
Speaker: “If you kick them in the stomach, it is very important to say ‘Jesus forgives you’.”
etc, etc…

Comic Book,
Basically, Criminal act of murder is oked by a group of “rechristians” who go back to their roots of stoning people they don’t approve of.

Christianity yet again proving its core value of “hypocrisy”.

“Even if the vandal was a youngster, it’s hard to believe that anyone who considered himself a Christian would choose vandalism as a way to spread the word.”
I believe that what she probably meant was something along the lines of,
“No church or group of christians that I have been a part of would ever have given the go ahead to do something like this.”
Handing out fliers? Annoying, but sure, ok. Putting up a big sign on your own property? Go right ahead! But spray painting your message on someone else’s property? What about treating others as you would want them to treat you? I really doubt that you want Mr. Athiest spray painting “God is an imaginary magical man in the sky!” on the side of your church building.

revlic, I thought you were going to say the scene in TransMet where the Church of Drilling Holes in the Skull gets a license to be considered an evangelical organization (I will shove this right through your skull and walk away with no foul, since I’m only spreading my religion).

Actually to quote the comic “and call it a act of devotion.”
But yeah. Transmet is awesome. That comic sits in a special wrapper.

Our school system is in bad shape when kids these days don’t even know the difference between the words vandalize and evangelize.

Witnessing is just offensive.
