well, i can see your point too -- but in this case, the person specifically said he felt he'd be targeted for being a christian. while it's unfortunately true that there are a few rabid anti-christians running around out there, i think he was more likely to have his car vandalized because it wasn't an american car. or because it had virginia plates. or because he looked like he might be gay. so yes, identifying as a part of any group could theoreticlaly make you a target.
but man, what a crappy way to live life, obsessing over all the people who might be out to get you. as dglenn knows perhaps better than anyone, people can be surprisingly tolerant if you give them the chance to be, instead of walking around with a chip on your shoulder daring them to be offended -- or to offend you.

Or because some people think vandalism is fun, and he was there. Yeah, I agree. Just trying to see all sides. (I'm a Libra, but if that bothers you, I can change... ;))
