You can expect to see much more of this kind of hate in the wake of the recent Supreme Court ruling on gay marriage.
On Wednesday, the Star-Telegram reported that the marquee of a Baptist church in Texas was hit with anti-Christian graffiti.
“F— 2 Your God We Love Gays!” the spray-painted graffiti read.
Will this presidential election be the most important in American history?
The attack was apparently in retaliation for a message the sign displayed in response to the Supreme Court ruling.
“Just because something is legal doesn’t mean it’s right,” the sign said.
Pastor Freddie Matthews said he would like to talk to the person who spray-painted the sign.
“Be willing to understand that we have our differences, but expressing them this way is not appropriate,” he said.
The Star-Telegram added:
Matthews had put up the message on June 28, the day after the Supreme Court’s ruling struck down the ban on same-sex marriage. He said the message coincided with his sermon that week about marriage and it was undisturbed for about six days.
“I didn’t wake up Saturday morning to put something out there to make someone mad,” he said.
The church, which is more than 100 years old, is in north Mansfield at 3001 Gertie Barrett Road. Between 80 and 100 people attend services, Matthews said.
Church leaders were alerted to the vandalism by police at 2 a.m. July 4 and the graffiti was quickly removed, Matthews said. An incident report was filed with the police July 7.
“What’s sad about it is that they used the obscenity,” Matthews said. “That’s a very blasphemous statement.”
Mansfield police spokesman Thad Penkala said this crime would be considered criminal mischief, a Class B misdemeanor. He said detectives would have to investigate to determine if it rose to the level of a hate crime.
It’s just a sign of the Christophobia (the irrational fear and hatred of Christians and Christianity) that we’ll be seeing as a result of the Supreme Court ruling.
