German police have leaked this news: vandals have broken into a Catholic church in Ascheberg, Germany, and peed into the bowl of holy water.

Officials at the St Anna Church were horrified to discover the destructive rampage, which saw statues and other religious artefacts damaged.

“This was serious vandalism,” said parish secretary Marlies Stratmann.

Disgusting and disrespectful. And I'm not religious in the least.

Oh, no! D:
Now the Holy Water won't do anything...wait...

Still, vandalism like this is unacceptable.
I hope the perpetrators will be held responsible for their actions.

All citizens, religious or not, should view this act as a serious display of disrespect.

It's just water. It's faith in God and knowing Jesus as your personal savior who died on the cross for your sins that is what matters. Catholic doctrine is so stupid and has nothing to do with the Word of God from the Bible.

this is much more interesting than watching the prez give our nation away. At least I got one good laugh tonight. Good on the creative vandals. Holy water isn't really all it's cut out to stand for.

Here's where you get me more than a little curous....Your icon says "Think for yourself", yet you've allowed others (the conservative media, I'm guessing) to influence your opinion on how the president is handling our affairs. Hmmm. Exactly what part of our country has he given away? Was it Texas? I hope so. We can give that back.

Back to whom? The mexicans have almost finished the takeover as it is.
