It Was Only a Matter of Time

Las Cruces police investigate explosions near Calvary Baptist, Holy Cross

I'm not sure why the Las Cruces Sun News is being so dainty; in my day as a reporter the headline would have accurately read, "Bombs Explode At Area Churches".  After all, they were bombs and they did explode and it's only fortune or providence that prevented any injuries.

Plus this chilling observation:
"I'm just thankful to God nobody was standing by the door, because there's usually always somebody standing there. But because it was the consecration part of the Mass, everybody was kneeling down and facing toward the altar," he said. "Ten minutes later we would have been leaving and standing around that space."
I'd rather that some politicians, media "thought leaders", and social activists would quit making Christianity their bogey-man.  That kind of cynical rhetoric can excite the addle-minded and homicidal.
