I think its great that propaganda was clearly labeled as the LIE it is!
I salute the brave souls who defended truth with a can of spray paint!
Did you ever stop and think how this would reflect upon the Christian faith, assuming those who carried out the act were Christians? :tsk

Amen MrMann! Going to hell is much worse than offending them here on earth. So they are allowed to openly lie about the Word of God? Of course..we christians are supposed to just shut up and take it. :gaah

This sets up a rather overly simplistic false dichotomy. They are allowed to openly lie vs. we are supposed to shut up and take it. And I agree, their going to Hell is much worse then our offending them here. But it's the Gospel that's supposed to be the offense - not a believer's breaking the law to defend the Bible.
What you are advocating is a "The ends justify the means" approach. Which I would agree is sometimes appropriate. But vandalism - a crime - particularly when there are better options available - is not justified.
It would be equally effective, legal, and less a blemish on the face of Christ had the vandals rented their own bulleting board to declare the falsehood of this poor biblical example.

Harley I do see your point. I am not advocating vandalism. But I do think that something should be done. Maybe a board right across from it saying that homosexuality is a sin that will send you to hell. Bet that would start a riot.

It doesn't justify vandalism. IMHO, Vandalism is as unBiblical as homosexuality is.

I think there is a breaking point where people will no longer tolerate PC Lies.
The gay billboard WAS a lie. There is NO truth behind it.
We have had a cross suspended in Urine and that becomes protected art.
PETA plants billboard across from churches with crucified pigs and that free speech.
Again and again blatant bigotry and insults are hurled after Christians.
Now a despicable homosexual lie is promoted on a Billboard.
The surprise would be if it wasn't defaced!
I'm tired of a propaganda! This vandalism is a NATURAL reaction to yet another #$** lie!
What was written, gay slurs? NO! The word LIE was written.
Evil florishes when good men do nothing.
