Point this story out to each one of those bozos that say "why can't we just live and let live" or "religion is all about helping people, why do you speak out against it?"

And for anyone that says this is an isolated incident - I DARE you to put a Darwin Fish on your car and drive it around church areas. Hope you vandalism insurance is paid up.
