Palin's Church

Did anyone read about Sarah Palin's church being burned? An arsonist set fire to the church while there were people inside. The fire spread quickly but the women and children inside were alerted by a fire alarm, and were able to get out safely. The fire caused over $1 million in damages. The question of the day is; what in the world was this person thinking? Was this person so filled with hate that he or she did not even consider the consequences of such actions? I find it very difficult to understand what type of message this person was attempting to send. It reminds me of the gays who continue to attack, verbally, physically and by doing damage to property, members of churches who actually stood up to them and said no, we do not believe that same sex marriage is right. Are these people stupid? Do they not realize the consequences of their actions? All I know is that when someone pushes me on a belief that I hold true, then I am even more apt to hold to my beliefs, not less. When I see gays and lesbians persecuting others for their beliefs, it makes me wonder why they believe they should not be persecuted because of theirs. They are asking for something they are not willing to give to others. If that is not hypocritical, I don't know what is!
