I would love to find these punks and bonk their heads together!
They are obviously teen trouble makers and what they are doing is harmful to the reputation of those like me. The church goers will automatically assume these kids who did this are atheistic, hate god, and evil. NOT!
Their angst is misplaced, when the kids wrote 666 on the wall, they blew it. Whenever there is any reference to Satan, the fundies go nuts. This is why they say atheists worship the devil. Ridiculous, but that's how they see it.
I might have to write a letter to the editor to defend us unbelievers against being found quality by association with these hoodlums..
I would also bet these kids come from a ‘good’ Christian home, maybe even go to the Christian High School. Either way, they are stupid brats and nothing more.

Vandals struck a Faw Road church over the weekend, causing more than $500 in damage.
The pastor arrived at the Fortress of Joy Sunday morning to find graffiti, according to Lewis and Clark County Sheriff Leo Dutton.
“God is dead,”(no, never existed) “Christianity is slavery” (trueish) and “666”(not something an atheist would write) among other sayings were sprayed in black paint all over the outside of the church.
Another church on the 100 block of Valley Drive, the Church of Nazarene, fell victim to a recent spree of criminal mischief, Helena Police Chief Troy McGee said. Police received a report of broken-out windows from the church early Sunday morning.
These crimes follow a spree of vandalism to buildings and vehicles in the Helena area.
Authorities have received more than 50 reports of broken windows across the city in the past two weeks. Vandals have mostly broken windows and taillights on vehicles, apparently with rocks and possibly baseball bats, McGee said.
Investigators are still determining whether the incidents are related.

"You forgot the vandalism at the Helena Christian School High School where their bus was spray painted with anti-Christian graffiti. Sick. Helena used to be a nice town "
This is a typical knee jerk reaction. Chamules is wrong, this is still a nice town.

" Lets group this type of vandalism in with all the graffiti that has been being sprayed around town. Our communitys leaders should send a message to vandals by enacting very tough laws and include repayment of damages court costs etc. I also want to see additional laws that put the parent or guardians name in the newspaper when these individuals are caught so they cannot hide behind the juvenile clause of privacy. Crimes have changed and laws need to change with them. We just had an election, what do our elected officials have to say about protecting Helena area property and businesses from these types of crimes. You cant tell me know one knows anything about the amount of graffiti going on in this town over the last year. Open your eyes and send a message Helena. "

" I agree. This is wrong. I just pray that Jesus will touch these people's hearts and help them to turn their lives around. "
