According to him, the church was beginning to paint over the graffiti when he got there. He reports that it's all painted over now. I corresponded with the reader who sent me the photo.

The top photo <i>could</i> have been taken later - and it should be relatively easy to prove either way.

It seems a little beneath us. See <a href="http://www.miketidmus.com/blog/2009/01/05/christianist-paranoia-on-parade/" target="_blank" rel="nofollow"><strong><em>Christianist paranoia on parade</em></strong></a> for some better ideas.

What a nice-looking church. I wonder how much of that collection-basket money they actually give to the needy. Ha ha.
