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.

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.
