Palin's former church torched.
Offline You may remember the clip of Palin getting deamonds chaced from her body (allegedly), at a church some years ago.
SOME DUMBFUCK for whatever reason decided to burn it down. I hope that asshole or assholes get caught.
There was a church about 35 miles away from where I live that had spray painted on it, "There is no God". THOSE assholes should be punished too, regardless of weither I agree with the message or not.
WE have the right to say what we want about each other. BUT in a civil society we do not, they don't and we dont, have the right to distroy things that don't belong to us, or harm someone merely because we don't like them.
We rightfully got ticked at the atheist sign being stolen in Olimpia, and we rightfully got ticked when Atheist Station was vandlized. And many here have had their atheist bumper stickers and darwin fishes distroyed. If we don't want it done to us, then we should not be doing it to others.
Words are one thing and we all like to bitch, they do and we do. But none of us want to be harmed or have things we own destroyed.

They have no real suspects in connection with the Wasilla church fire as of yet, which doesn't stop the delusional demon drivers from speculating about atheist motivations.
"It's just as likely to be some troubled person who has a beef with God," Said one teary eyed gay basher from the cozy, government funded middle school that is currently hosting the cult.
Toasty warm in the Wasilla middle school, heated at tax payer expense, church members remain optimistic.
"The definition of the church is the body of Christ, made up of God's people," said associate pastor John Doak after the hourlong service at Wasilla Middle School attended by about 1,200 people. "The church is still there. We are the church.", evoking visions of Luke & Han seeking refuge in the carcass of a slain Tauntaun, and of Judge Dredd announcing " I am the Law! ".
To date, no cult member has offered the suggestion that it might have been started by gay rights activists that were insulted by the churches promotion of the " Love Won Out Conference " in Anchorage which believes it can help homosexuals stop denying God and turn straight. Proposed methods for curing humans and animals of homosexuality include prayer, electroshock, dousing copulating homosexuals with ice water, and of course the time honored cure of burning them at the stake.
Palin, who was not present during the fire, has suggested that it might have been caused by Godless Democrats.
Of those not suspected are two children present at the time of the fire. That they might have started a fire inside the door of the church in order to stay warm while their parents frothed at the mouth and rolled on the floor while babbling incoherently seems unlikely, as does the idea that they might have been playing a game of " Torch a Fag ". As children never start fires, it is safe to rule them out as the culprits.
God has so far been unavaliable for comment in regard to why he would allow His house to catch fire.
It takes a village to raise an idiot.
Save a tree, eat a vegetarian.
Sometimes " The Majority " only means that all the fools are on the same side.
For the same reason God is holding back on the wherabouts of Bin Ladin. It is a test. That and he loves all the drama on his behalf, because it is all about him.
Or, he doesn't exist and police will actually have to do physical labor to find this/these jerks.

This logic about any deity claim that stated being, "Can allow or not allow whatever he wants because he is in charge"
EXAMPLE ONLY, to demonstrate to believers why this logic fails.
What would Child protective services do if they found out you, as a parent were told by someone, "I am going to burn down your house while your children are in it"........AND YOU DID NOTHING TO STOP IT!
Should they say, " Oh well, they are your kids, you can do what you want".
What if you knew you had posion in your lower cabinite and you saw your child take the cap off and you did nothing to stop them from eating it? Should child protective services say, "Oh well, it's your kid, you can do what you want".
If someone wants to justify the "he can do what he wants because he is god" blindly, I cant stop you. But I myself like my explinations with a little more meat on them than, "I can do what I want".
I think that there is a much more simplistic reason that nasty shit happens in life. Life is not fair, or perfect OR MAGICAL, and shit happens. If we study this "shit", just like police are going to look for clues as to who committed this crime, they are more likely to be caught. Neither Allah, or Vishnu or Jesus are going to tell the police who burned down this church.
Inserting a "Superman vs Kriptonite" answer to mundane events, both good and bad, does not solve the problem. Studying the heart has produced better medication and operations to prevent heart attacks. Studying fire patterns in this fire is what determined that it was a crime, and dectective work can lead to capturing the arsonist.

While it may seem a logical first-guess that someone diametrically opposed to the church (i.e. atheists) would be responsible, the vast history of church fires points in the opposite direction. I wouldn't be surprised if it was a former church member (and Christian) who started it. They're the most common culprits in these cases.

I didnt do it
and no i dont have an aliby
Lets get Nacy Grace on your arse. You won't have to worry about a fair trial because all the Jerry Springer McMedia jurists who gobble up her assumption of guilt show, would be selected by your Christian DA.
I can see the Prosicutor, "He's an atheist, what more evidence do you need?" (Oh, and who will complain if I ask the authorities to fudge the facts)

I second that. It's a shitty thing to do to burn down a community building. I don't care if it's a church, community center, library, or anything else. I hope they catch them, too.

A friend of mine from Alaska (and knows Wasilla) said that it could well be a local with a backpack meth lab looking for a place to work. He loses control of the cooking process and up goes the wall.

"Anyone can repress a woman, but you need 'dictated' scriptures to feel you're really right in repressing her. In the same way, homophobes thrive everywhere. But you must feel you've got scripture on your side to come up with the tedious 'Adam and Eve not Adam and Steve' style arguments instead of just recognising that some people are different." - Douglas Murray
