The lady who put it up, in general opinion, did it for her own recognition, not that of Pagans. <br/><br/>It is anyone's guess who destroyed it. The Christians really didn't care. *shrug* It's a pretty liberal community. Actually, I live there; the Pagan community was severely offended by the Pentagram being erected there.

Sadly, I got the impression he was trying to build publicity for himself, and not moved by separation of church-state ideals.<br/>In addition some of my coven-mates were concerned about exactly such actions as occurred in this case. Not a fun thing to wake up with a burning cross on your lawn, or something. Anyway, the fellow contacted us again, this year! I am not exactly sure what we should do. Good on you, Jason.

Ask anybody.<br/><br/>As for the assumption, I was using my very-best powers of Holmes-like deduction. A militant atheist would most likely go for the Nativity too, and a random drunk guy wouldn't have been so precise. Figuring in statistical numbers of Christian adherents, I say chances are good that the driver considers him (or her) self a very good Christian.<br/><br/>If I'm wrong, I'll certainly say so publicly. “Rather intolerant of you to instantly assume it was a Christian who did this.”

I thought as Pagans one of our core values was supposed to be tolerance? “Looks like some Christians aren’t as committed to religion in the public square as they claim.”
