A Mississippi man accused of destroying a statue of a pagan idol at Iowa’s state Capitol is now being charged with a hate crime.

??? That did not make sense.
The display was made for the sole purpose of being destroyed. It was destroyed by a religious nutjobs. The purpose of the display was completed.
The method they used for their intended effect worked as intended.
It’s funny that all of the responses, that are being upvoted while im being down voted, are all different when it comes to what their intent was.
And, no, it wasn’t to be destroyed. It’s to spread awareness about religious liberty.

Look, it’s clear that you don’t understand TST.
What better way to spread awareness of religious liberty than to bait zealots into committing hate crimes, and then throwing the book at them?
Assholes like this guy are a direct threat to liberty. Expose them and make examples of them. Set the precedent that Christianity doesn’t excuse fascism before Christians set the opposite precedent.
Making people angry is probably the least effective way to get them to see your side. It’s well established that when people feel attacked, they are less open to changing their views. Of course, in cases like this, it’s probably impossible to avoid angering people.
But I see nothing in your post that actually shows what the TST thinks on this, only what you think is the best course of action.
Your being downvoted while others are being upvoted?
Hmmmmm I wonder why?
But let me guess, were wrong. Also why is Facebook your source?
Considering there are 3 of you and you all have different explanations, at least 2 have to be wrong. But I gave you the link to their reasoning, which is not what any of the three have said.
There can be more then one correct answer.
You must know that. Life is not black and white. I’m assuming your just trolling at this point, or I seriously hope you are.
So it was made for a sole purpose, but now multiple reasons can be right. You’re now contradicting yourself.
The problem isn’t that I’m trolling, it’s that you’re too busy trying to be right rather than trying to figure out what’s right.
I’m too busy trying to be right?
Look at these mental gymnastics you are going through to prove you are right.
I never said you were wrong. I said your comment didn’t make sense. That was it. If you aren’t trolling then I got a quote from a good tv show for you:
“Does it hurt to be that stupid?”
You literally just claimed that it was for a sole purpose, and then when I pointed out that that can’t be true if something else is also it’s intent, you belittled me and claimed I must be trolling…so yes. It’s so hard for you to admit you are wrong that you have to claim this very straightforward point based on your straightforward language is “mental gymnastics.”
But don’t worry, you’re so far committed to me being stupid that it would be absolutely shocking for you to admit that I might be right here, so I don’t expect you to do so. I’m just wondering how long you’ll try to pretend you didn’t contradict, instead of just slinking off.
