It seems that Michael Tate Reed decided the corollary to Jesus’ words is “If you hate Me, smash them.”
 
 
Not only did he destroy the newly erected Ten Commandments monument on the grounds of the Arkansas state capitol yesterday, he did the very same thing two and a half years ago in Oklahoma ~

(CN) – An Oklahoma man told law enforcement he drove his car into and destroyed the Oklahoma Capitol’s controversial Ten Commandments monument because Satan told him to – drawing condemnation even from those who oppose the monument.

 
In an enlightening post at The Stream, Dr. Michael Brown explains the spirit of rebellion that’s behind Reed’s rage. It’s as old as creation ~

Enough with God’s laws and standards. Enough with His moral principles. Enough with His prohibitions of idolatry and adultery and murder.
 
We will do what we want to do, when we want to do it, and no law — or God — will tell us otherwise.
 
The America we want must have no connection to its Judeo-Christian roots. No connection to the moral values of many of its Founders. No connection to the Scriptures which so influenced their thinking.
 
We will worship created things more than the Creator. We will be full of covetousness and greed. We want our idolatry.
 
We will have sex with whomever we want to, whenever we want to, however we want to. And if we so desire, we will call these relationships “marriage,” and neither God nor man will tell us anything different. We want our adultery.
 
We will kill our babies in the womb if we so choose, and anyone who defies our wishes will be trampled with derision and scorn. We want our murder.
 
Yes, we will do what we want to do when we want to do it. We declare ourselves free.

 
Just like original rebel, Satan.
