But it is ok to mutilate and devour helpless Peeps and chocolate bunnies at Easter?

Oh, the humanity...

But they say their Christian neighbors violated their rights on the evening of March 16 when they showed up for a sacred spring equinox ceremony in the parking lot of a local Pagan gift shop, praying loudly to Jesus while drowning out their singing and chanting with Christian praise music.

Hey, you stupid 0xDEADBEEF-worshippers! Don't you remember you're saved by faith and not by works? Picking on pagans won't get you to heaven! The only important work is what ASUS did when he died on the cross!

I hope those pagans don't act CrossTian - that they don't turn the other cheek (yeah, like any CrossTian has every done that

). I hope they'll go disrupt a Christian prayer-meeting.

That god of those CrossTians, according to their Demonic Verses, is going to send the majority of mankind to hell. I find it very offensive. It hurts my feelings. Please do not worship that god. Please respect my feelings. Thank you.

What followed next has since sparked heated debate among residents over the definitions of "free speech" and "hate crime" and whether various religions groups in the predominantly conservative Christian area, will ever co-exist peacefully.

I have to agree with the term "hate crime" here. Although non-violent, the xians were only there to purposely disrupt things. Having a member of the Sheriff's department there is a borderline violation of their freedom of religion.

When will xians start acting like xians?

The Sheriff's Department employee was a Chaplain in Los Angeles. He organized the rally with the expressed intention to disrupt. He had no jurisdiction in Lancaster and has been placed on "administrative leave." They should fire his dumb, hateful ass.

If the protestors were doing such Godly work, why did they hide behind rental vans and cars? I think they knew very well that what they were doing was wrong.
