The way I took it, I doubt that the offender gave his actions more than a 1/2 second's thought. He may have thought he was being funny, to whomever with he shared his juvenile antic. The idea that he was "messing with God" probably was so far from his thinking that HE is irrelevant. (And this is true also if the guy just happened to go to church, regularly or once a year.) He probably equates "God" with "Santa," as far as reality goes, and the holidays was just a connection that clicked in his mind. Take it easy, it was just a white-board. Replace "the Santa" with "Jehovah" and see if the clown wonders if he's in danger of an anti-Semitic charge!

Please, just pray for the guy. Pray until you feel anguish for his soul. This is possibly the worst "persecution" anyone has faced in this country for centuries. And the Christians' response to persecution is what won them the first empire that attacked them. They prayed, and didn't involve asserting "rights" and complaints to management and threats of lawsuits (I'm not saying that this has been contemplated, okay?).

I'd love to be there, quietly standing behind him as he thinks he's surrepstitiously doing his business again, maybe even take his picture with a digital camera (or just hold it, and make him think you took it). Then he turns around and sees you standing there with a Mona Lisa smile on your face. "Finished your vandalism, pal? OK, scram, some people around here actually work for a living. Get back to your third-grade cubicle."

Well, I'd like to say that, but since I've been praying for him, maybe I'd feel like saying: "Hey, next time you want to change something on my Bible verse, let me get out the Bible and let you pick out a verse for me, since you obviously know so little about what it actually says...." Maybe it'll start a conversation?
