A church in the Northeast Georgia town of Augusta was vandalized with anti-LGBT graffiti this week shortly after the gay pastor of the church received the first same-sex marriage license issued in the county.

Rick Sosbe, pastor of the pro-LGBT Metropolitan Community Church of Our Redeemer in Augusta, was on his way to the church when a parishioner sent him a photo of the church via text message.

The graffiti said:

    I’m pretty sure that knuckle draggers who barely manage to wield a paint brush actually have any say in who burns and who doesn’t. If there is some sky fairy who makes those decisions, these fools stand a much better chance of suffering that fate. But they are right about one thing. Leviticus lies. It’s just full of em.

      I picture them standing before God, who, instead of sending them to Hell, just points and laughs hysterically at them for 50,000 years in front of everyone they ever knew, then smirks every time He passes them on the streets of gold.
      My belief system is a lot more fun than regular Christianity…

        That would actually be hell for them. Being laughed at by their friends for eternity.

        And they are So serious about taking their pathetic ‘stand’ for righteousness. Anyone else see the video of the county clerk in KY confronting the two guys to deny issuing them a license and going into a big sermon abut how one day she will ‘stand before our Lord’ and have to answer for marrying two men? Jesus, how does anyone that stupid get elected to anything?

          In local elections like that, a very small percentage of people vote. All she has to do is get her friends to vote for her. It’s really sad to see someone interpret Christianity so narrowly, in terms of what they can prevent people from doing. They interpret freedoms the same way, in terms of what they can deny people, instead of what they can free people to do. And that’s the end of my sermon.

          “Stupid” actually requires little effort…

      I’m a bit rusty on the words in Leviticus, but this passage is true in at least one place. This Bible passage says that if two men lie together, they should be stoned. In Washington state, it sounds like a commandment that can legally followed. (Now in Colorado, too!)

    Cuz nothing spreads the christian words of peace and love like a spray painted message of hate…

    Let’s not forget that the people who did this belong to the “perpetual victim” religion. I just can’t understand why they feel they’re so vilified, so maligned. Now, where’s my violin.
