Non-Racist Arsonists Ruin Good Church-Burning News Story

Filed under: Religion — Ray Daugherty @ 1:07 pm

The third Alabama church arsonist has been nabbed. And it's official: it was drunk teenagers all along. Not supremacists (only one church was black, much to the surprise of everyone I've talk to about this), not Satanists, nor atheists with an agenda. Drunk, shaggy-haired, frat boys on a tear.

Even more interesting is that white church arson is, by a large margin, the most prevalent kind of church arson: according to the Christian Science Monitor, the black churches, synagogues, and mosques that make the headlines as targets of arson and vandalism are actually the exception to the rule, whereas white churches constitute most of the 20-odd cases of church arson a year.

Then there's this annoying crap. Fine, churches are private property, whatever. But what "victims" is this article referring to who need outreach? Nevermind, don't answer me. I don't want to waste another second thinking about it.
