I have already posted this on another thread but here it is again. Near my house in Houston, a nativity scene in a front yard has an empty cradle with a sign that reads: someone stole our baby Jesus!

I didn't realize that it was so wide spread.

I wonder how close they are to the local mosque? Although more than likely, it was probably some punk kid.

For all of their faults, it is highly unlikely that Muslims would do this.

I went to high school with a group of (fill in the blank with appropriate words not allowd on FR) who thought it was absolutely hysterical to spend their free time near Christmas desecrating manger scenes. Bear in mind that this was in small-town (population 1,000) midwest America a few years ago. They clearly thought that pulling these stunts made them "cool" and "gangsta" (there were very few black families in town, and their kids were some of the nicest in the area, BTW). I find it frightening that America's youth look up to thugs, rapists, druggies and murderers now. What lovely role models. Ugh.

I'm more than saddened and angered by these reports. That people feel such hatred and vicious anger against God is very serious. The next step is to harm believers in God.

My personal opinion is that such vandals and desecrators should be beaten, but that's just me.

I don't have a clue, but there are many organizations that are dedicated to the death of Christianity in particular and all religions in general.

I concur, Muslims at least have enough respect for Jesus that they would not do this, he is after all a major prophet of Islam. This is highly organized, I would say secular humanists, oops I mean Satanists (Same thing now days). These people are lost and need prayers, deceived as we all once were.

LOL. If that's the best the Enemy's got, he's stupider than he's made out to be. He can smash a statue, but he can't smash the Truth it represents!

I doubt that anyone would go through the trouble to organize the destruction of nativity scenes across America. However, it does seem possible that the current level of animosity toward Christians in America, and elsewhere, is enough to elicite such destruction. I would hate to think this is coordinated although I place nothing past evil and those who practice it.

I used to think that way, although I don't anymore. I think the "Jesus is a prophet in Islam" line that we hear from the likes of CAIR is a load of bunk meant to placate the Christians in this country.

I live about 2 miles from this house and to my knowledge the nearest mosque is 20 miles away. There is a muslim school about 4-5 miles away but I only see younger children coming from there. It is a very expensive neighborhood of mostly big million+$ homes, you don't see vandalism or graffiti there. I figured it was kids but now that I see it is all over, I wonder.

"I don't understand why anyone would do such things"

Rent the movie Needful Things. While a work of fiction it examines Satan pitting members of a community against each other.

Evil is on the march. We will soon be at each others throats world wide. There seems to be no stopping it. The only hope I see are Christian values and these values are in the process of being repressed world wide.

In Friendswood, TX there is a rash of vandalism. One of my co-workers had his Baby Jesus stolen. One of his neighbors gave him a replacement.

Thanks for reminding me of that book, I read it years ago. I agree with you about Christian values . It seems its ok to be anything but Christian lately. I heard tonight that a cross was removed from a college chapel, I didn't get the name of it. But that the students want it put back. The dean said it could be displayed all day Sunday and the students weren't happy with that either. They have a petition and want it back where it has always been. I was glad to hear that.

I dont think it is coordinated. I think that the zeitgeist. And it is going to become more pronounced.
