Another Satanic Temple display destroyed: why are some Christians so fragile? [View all]

"It does me no injury for my neighbor to say there are twenty gods or no god. It neither picks my pocket nor breaks my leg” — Thomas Jefferson

Another holiday season. Another Satanic Temple holiday display destroyed. Who did it? I don’t know. But the people welcoming its destruction are Christian. And the odds are the vandals are too. Why are these religious folk so fragile?

If I was convinced God was on my side, I would be steeled by the knowledge I was a member of the favored tribe. And I would smile benevolently at all the poor saps who hadn’t got the memo.
