who cut down corbar cross , and why ?

as a spin off from the news article thread

i slip on my tin foil chappeau and wonder to mysrlf - who did it and why ?

the " usual suspects " are THEM you know - the godless athiest scum [ like me ]

granted - stranger things have happened - but what would ye olde evil atheists TM actually gain ? seriously its a shot in the foot for serious protests against the of catholicism - think about it - they now have an issue to deflect attention and cast themselves [ catholics ] as victims

my musings are that infact - religious fanatics have far more to gain by doing this and using it as " evidence " that we [ atheists ] are the scum they portray us as

they have far more to gain

and one last point - i just watched a TV news report and the footage was very illuminating - when it fell - the top shattered , it was clearly rotten to the core

granted - the base was obviously solid - but the cross was in need of repair

hang onto your tinfoil hat - and condider the benifits of " vandalising " a land mak in need of costly repairs - at a time when most churches are in dire financial straits and blaming " evil atheists "

There is a third possibility.
It was a gang of local teenagers.
The fact that it could be destroyed fairly easily would have been a sufficient motive, just by itself.

Blame it on the chavs
