Going to church on Sunday can get your beaten or killed in some countries overseas. A number of parish priests have been slaughtered recently in Turkey for example.
But who ever would expect danger from church going in Bible belt Jackson, Mississippi where the faithful flock to church every Sunday to hear the Gospel of Christ?
Fascist rule is taking root in Jackson, Mississippi, reports the Christian Newswire.
The Unitarian Universalist Church and St. James Episcopal Church were both scenes of terror for church attendees yesterday.
As folk filed into the church, a group of masked anarchists sprang up from nowhere like threatening storm clouds out of the blue. Group members threatened to murder the Christians--all for trying to make their way inside to attend services.
At the normally peaceful Universalist Church, the uttered death threats were followed through with violence when a group of anti-Christian rioters, their faces hidden from view by bandanas and brandishing six feet of PVC pipe, attacked and threatened to murder the lone occupant of one car.
With the driver held hostage in his vehicle, the rioters smashed windows, ultimately destroying the vehicle before fleeing the scene "like cowards", in the words of the Rev. Flip Benham, National Director, Operation Save America.
One would think that terrorizing church-going citizens and wrecking cars with pipe anywhere in America would result in prompt charges and arrests
But the rioters were allowed to go free.
"'One of Jackson's police officers on the scene stated that they (police) could do nothing because the rioters refused to identify themselves when asked,' said Rev. Benham. 'The police refused to control the situation and would not even take a report until congregants volunteered to handle the situation through church lawyers.'"
