North Carolina Churches & a Slave Child’s Historic Tombstone Desecrated & Vandalized, Defecation on Altar & Crucifix Burned (video)
Posted By Vicki McClure Davidson on November 17, 2011
Vermin — no matter if these disgusting acts of desecration and vandalizing of several North Carolina churches and a slave child’s historic tombstone were carried out by Muslims, liberals, socialists, atheists, communists, conservatives, moderates, or anything else in-between, this is the work of cowardly, depraved scum.
Prepare yourself for more of the same ugly hate and religious intolerance, more Christian persecution, as we get closer to Christmas.
Pooping on a church altar… disgusting animals.
Reported by The Blaze, VANDALS DEFECATE ON CHURCH’S ALTAR, BURN CROSS & DIG UP A SLAVE CHILD’S TOMBSTONE:
In an incident that North Carolina authorities are calling a serious hate crime, a number of churches in three local counties have been vandalized. On Sunday night, alone, eight churches were targeted. The criminals responsible for the acts spray-painted messages of hate on the outside of the houses of worship and even broke into one of the churches.
While most of the damage was inflicted on the buildings’ exterior, Cedar Hill AME Zion Church in Ansonville, North Carolina, withstood major damage after vandals broke into the house of worship.
Tables were overturned, a fire extinguisher was sprayed in the sanctuary and chairs were thrown through stained glass. But the horror doesn’t end there. A cross was taken down and partially burned and someone apparently defecated on the church’s altar.
If that weren’t disturbing enough, cleanup crews realized that a child‘s tombstone had been dug up from the church’s historic slave cemetery and had subsequently been thrown through a window.
On the outside of Cedar Hills, messages like, “God is the devil” and “Go back to Africa” could be seen. In other places, swastikas, racial slurs and male genitalia were present.
From WBTV, Church vandals strike again with Satanic graffiti:
One of the most historic churches in the state has been hit by vandals for the second night in a row.
On Wednesday morning members of Organ Lutheran Church in eastern Rowan County came to the church to clean obscene and blasphemous graffiti that had been painted on the centuries old church late Sunday or early Monday, but then they arrived, they found that the newer building had been vandalized overnight.
“This only brings our congregation together, stronger, it only strengthens our resolve,” Reverend Ours told WBTV. “We’re going to move on, we’re going to continue to preach the gospel of Jesus Christ, I don’t even care if this building is here, we’ll preach the gospel of Jesus Christ.”
The same type symbols are present, mostly the name of Satan, the number 666, pentagrams and upside down crosses. Those are symbols normally associated with devil worship.
Detectives from Anson, Stanly, and Rowan counties are working together to find whoever is responsible for vandalizing several churches and businesses with spray paint and Satanic graffiti since the weekend.
Captain John Sifford with the Rowan County Sheriff’s Office reported the first round of damage to a stone wall at Organ Lutheran Church would cost $10,000.
Investigators aren’t sure if all of the cases are related, but all are comparing notes to see if the same person or group is responsible.
On Wednesday morning Organ Lutheran’s pastor Carlin Ours told WBTV that the SBI was investigating the damage, but he said it did nothing to break the spirit of the church and its members.
One church in Ansonville and at least a dozen churches and businesses throughout Stanly County reported the incidents on Monday.
According to both sheriff’s departments, the crime happened sometime in the late evening hours of November 13 or the early morning hours of November 14.
Deputies were called to the Cedar Hill AME Zion Church on Spring Road north of Ansonville Monday afternoon and found the inside the church “literally destroyed on the inside,” according to the Anson County Sheriff Tommy Allen.
Allen said the damage was the worst case of vandalism and hate crime he’s ever seen.
“On the inside of the church we found tables broken, ceiling fans broken, speakers pulled from the walls and thrown through the stain glass windows, chairs broken and thrown through windows, the podium destroyed, every window in the church broken out and graffiti spray painted all outside the church,” Allen said.
The sheriff’s office said phrases including “God is a Lie” and “house of the devil” were spray painted on the walls, along with the N-word and F-word.
