Vandals Loot Churches, Burn Bibles
Titusville Church Sign Says 'We Forgive You'

TITUSVILLE, Fla. -- At least four churches have been broken into in Brevard County in the last month, with vandals looting the houses of worship and burning Bibles.

The latest break-in took place at the Baptist Church in Titusville on Tropic Street, just west of Interstate 95.

Pastor Jeremy Gates said the church was accessed through a broken window and thousands of dollars of damage was done to the facility.

"It's one thing for a house to be broken into -- that's horrible -- but there was a time when even criminals would respect houses of worship," Gates said.

2. Like WIllie "the Actor" Sutton said, "That's where the money is." Churches do make easy targets in

these hard times and I really don't blame people for targeting them.

Valuable stuff to steal and weak security.

Thank goodness the terraists ain't going after the Christists' houses of worship. :sarcasm:

8. Boy, the bigots come out

Most churches (even the fundamentalist ones) are NOT rich, and the mainstream churches have strict controls over their finances.
