BILLINGS — At St. Patrick Co-Cathedral in Billings, the Christmas nativity scene is typically left up until early February.

But this year—that's not the case. The church's outdoor nativity scene was destroyed on January 16 - the same night Mary Queen of Peace Catholic Church was broken into on the Billings South Side.

Father Leo McDowell said the incident has rattled the church at 215 North 31st Street.

"The wise men were all decapitated, the animals were strewn all over, and Mary, Jesus, and Joseph were missing,” McDowell said. “It was kind of a shock to think that someone would come in and do that."[/quote]
Well if its ok to behead other religions altars, why not this one?

Speak out about ALL religious freedoms or keep it to yourself. [/quote]

Why are all these incidents of vandalism and destruction ignored? Aren’t you supposed to speak out for ALL religions? Why are you silent on these incidents?[/quote]
How are they ignored, they were clearly in the news, years ago[/quote]

But nobody here posted about how awful it is that Christian displays were being destroyed and vandalized. [/quote]
I wasnt around here last year so I have no idea if that is true or not.

Alls I'm seeing is refusal to speak out about this particular one, and you are instead trying to shift the argument. But it's clear where you stand, and where most "religious freedom" fanatics stand. Only with your religion. If you really respected and cared about the constitution and freedoms outlined there you wouldnt be trying to make whataboutism arguments. [/quote]

Nobody posted about the multiple vandalisms and destructions of Christian Nativity displays, and are only outraged now when a satanic altar is vandalized/destroyed. You all only care about that one incident.[/quote]
Just pointing out the double standard and hypocrisy :)

Will you care to join in the condemnation of destroying this religious altar? I will join in condemning the beheading and removal of nativity scenes from churches - though I did giggle a little at the last one "we couldnt find jesus" coming from a church, but thats beside the point.

Otherwise, it's really apparent that christians only care about protecting christian values, not about [i]religious[/i] values. Which are wide and varied. [/quote]

You haven’t been outraged before today though, have you? No condemnation before this thread? Why not? Aren’t you staunchly pro-religious freedom?[/quote]
Well I just literally condemned it, and you havent soo....[/quote]
