Luke 17:28-30 “Likewise as it was also in the days of Lot: They ate, they drank, they bought, they sold, they planted, they built” but on the day that Lot went out of Sodom it rained fire and brimstone from heaven and destroyed them all. Even so will it be in the day when the Son of Man is revealed.
Vandals defaced and destroyed crosses that were part of a pro-life display at a Pennsylvania university.
Students for Life at Clarion University played the crosses. The 350 crosses were part of a display called “Cemetery of the Innocents” and each represented 10 aborted children that day.
Overnight, a number of the crosses were pulled out of the ground and thrown in trashcans. Others were defaced with messages indicating their connection to activists against a recent Indiana religious freedom law.
The crosses were also placed in a manner that is a traditional anti-Christian placement.
“[All] 350 crosses were pulled up and re-inserted in inverted fashion, a well-known anti-Christian symbol,” the group Students for Life reported. “Additionally, red paint was splattered on crosses and signs. Even eerier was the mock bloody footprints of an infant painted in front of the display.”
“Pro-Choice” was written on the sidewalk near the mock footprints of an infant.
University police claim they are investigating the act.
“I ask that as a community of educators and students, we come together and reflect upon our commitment to our rights and responsibilities of expression,” university President Karen Whitney said in a statement. “I ask that we use dialogue and discussion to engage very differing viewpoints in ways that leave all of us better for the experience.”
The display has since been restored.
