82 year-old atheist tosses cross into pond.

The townspeople were pretty pissed off at him:
Mr Rhodes said the cross was pitched into the pond last Wednesday night and dragged out the following morning.

He added: “If he didn’t like it he should have opened a debate with the vicar or the diocese to discuss the matter, not desecrate a religious symbol.

“To fling it into the pond is an unacceptable, wanton act of violence. It’s tantamount to religious hatred in my book. It must have been quite heavy though, so it’s not bad going for an 82-year-old.”

What brought that on? this. Original posting here.

Another example of this guy's lunacy here.

It's interesting to see that even in Great Britain Religious nuts can't refrain forcing their symbolisms beyond their own property, where it should remain unmolested. In the America the act of removing the cross from public property would possibly be reported as a "War On Religion".
There are only two types of religious people, the deceivers and the deceived. SS

"If the cross is so offensive you can just avert your gaze."
Remember that when you see something that offends you.
