A Mississippi man accused of destroying a statue of a pagan idol at Iowa’s state Capitol is now being charged with a hate crime.

I believe this is the method, not the intended effect.

It’s funny that all of the responses, that are being upvoted while im being down voted, are all different when it comes to what their intent was.
And, no, it wasn’t to be destroyed. It’s to spread awareness about religious liberty.

Considering there are 3 of you and you all have different explanations, at least 2 have to be wrong. But I gave you the link to their reasoning, which is not what any of the three have said.

So it was made for a sole purpose, but now multiple reasons can be right. You’re now contradicting yourself.
The problem isn’t that I’m trolling, it’s that you’re too busy trying to be right rather than trying to figure out what’s right.

You literally just claimed that it was for a sole purpose, and then when I pointed out that that can’t be true if something else is also it’s intent, you belittled me and claimed I must be trolling…so yes. It’s so hard for you to admit you are wrong that you have to claim this very straightforward point based on your straightforward language is “mental gymnastics.”
But don’t worry, you’re so far committed to me being stupid that it would be absolutely shocking for you to admit that I might be right here, so I don’t expect you to do so. I’m just wondering how long you’ll try to pretend you didn’t contradict, instead of just slinking off.

Look, it’s clear that you don’t understand TST.
What better way to spread awareness of religious liberty than to bait zealots into committing hate crimes, and then throwing the book at them?
Assholes like this guy are a direct threat to liberty. Expose them and make examples of them. Set the precedent that Christianity doesn’t excuse fascism before Christians set the opposite precedent.
Making people angry is probably the least effective way to get them to see your side. It’s well established that when people feel attacked, they are less open to changing their views. Of course, in cases like this, it’s probably impossible to avoid angering people.
But I see nothing in your post that actually shows what the TST thinks on this, only what you think is the best course of action.
