Our church was broken into for the second time in 4-5 months.They destroyed stuff stole guitars,a computer, destroyed our safe, thank God there was no money in it.That just makes me so angry. But for the most part I wouldn't want to be them when they have to answer to God for what they have done.What do you think posses ppl to do such rotten things?

What do you think God will say to them?
Why don't you think he stopped them?
Perhaps you needed a wake up call in your church.
God is not about possessions but about faith.
It seems that you have been putting to much of your faith in possessions.
Maybe God was watching out for you and yours when he let these criminals break in when nobody was their so nobody got hurt.
Look beyond the obvious to the reality of God. God loves you not the church you worship in.

I as an Atheist can still feel perplexed by this action, the only thing I can suggest is that the parents of these Kids, for I presumme it was kids, should be taught a lesson in manners and morals. I don't believe the church is the only place you learn morals and principles, I believe these are passed down from the parents, so if the parents are not doing the job properly, this is what you get. I would say it was kids because;
vandalism is not a protest, it is just moronic. they are not evil though they are just uneducated and ignorant

Sorry to hear that. We had that happen in my city not long ago. A lot of ppl assumed it was an Atheist, turned out it was a parishoner! To me that is really bad, how can someone steal from their god? I don't believe in stealing at all, but especially if it were from a deity I believed had control of my afterlife. Not real bright. I hold little respect for the church, but vandalizing or stealing from one is pathetic.
Ppl steal for different reasons. Some don't really need to & do it for the thrill. Others are desperate. Some do it for revenge. I could go on but I think you get it.

I honestly believe it's the devil in people. God was probably blessing in your church or getting ready to bless your church tremendously and the devil has to try to throw a wrench in it. The devil knows his time is getting very short and he is out to steal, kill and destroy all that he can before his time is up. I, like you, would hate to be in the shoes of those that did that to the house of God. But rest assured, just as the Bible says, all things done in darkness shall be brought to light and this too will be brought to light. It may not be today or even next week but sooner or later they will get caught. Don't let it get you down. The Bible however, says to pray for our enemies and those that despitefully use us so even though it's hard, try to pray that God opens their eyes to what they've done.

In reality those things are just things.They only facilitate the work of God but the focus shouldn't be on the objects and damaged caused but on the people who do it. Jesus would tell you to pray for them and bless them. But to answer your question "Why are some people so evil?" . In reality we all have a sin nature and if it wasn't for God we would all be lost. Sin is sin no matter what it is. Just food for thought!

You call these people evil? Then you have not come across evil people. Jesus says: If some one snatches your coat give him your shirt too.
So keep a safe with money outside so that these poor people need not to put up so much effort to break into a church.
The real evil people are sitting like godly men. They do not break in the safes but they destroy people's lives. They impose their ideologies and weild their power.They choke other people's individuality and freedom.They make people sinners and guilty.

It's the Nature of the Beast. Or having to Live in a material body, in a material world. Being poor. Getting beat up on the streets. It can make people cold and hard.

it is easy for a camel to fit through the eye of a needle than a rich man to get to heaven; we don't take possessions into the next life; and God provides for everything; look to nature; don't stoop to the same level ; everything goes around in God's time; let God judge

We live in a fallen world. Satan has had influence since the fall of man. Our hope is in the fact that we know the end of the story. Pray for those who do you wrong.

They are controlled and blinded by satan. They need prayer so they can be set free. How miserable they must really feel to lash out like this. It is horrible to be bound up by satan and under his control. I feel sad for them. God can replace whatever was stolen, it is just stuff. Their soul and eternity is what is important. Just keep interceding for them.
