Occupiers Thank Church Who Allowed Them To Sleep There By Urinating On a Cross, Stealing Baptismal…

Supposedly this is what “Democracy looks like.”

(NYP) — There’s no longer room at the inn at a Manhattan church that’s sheltering Occupy Wall Streeters after a holy vessel disappeared from the altar last week.

When the Rev. Bob Brashear prepared for Sunday services at West Park Presbyterian Church on West 86th Street, he noticed parts of the bronze baptismal font were gone.

In a fire-and-brimstone message to occupiers later that day, he thundered, “It was like pissing on the 99 percent.”

In Brooklyn, at another church housing OWS protesters, an occupier urinated on a cross, according to Rabbi Chaim Gruber, who has angrily abandoned the OWS movement.

In a letter last week to OWS obtained by The Post, the rabbi fumed, “The Park Slope church housing occupiers was desecrated when an occupier peed inside the building and the pee came into contact with a cross.”

At West Park, Rev. Brashear walked into the church for a morning service to find the 18-inch-diameter bronze basin and lid missing from the baptismal font’s 800-pound base. Holy water — straight from the River Jordan — had been poured from the missing basin insert into the base’s bowl.

The artifact vanished just three weeks after a $2,400 Apple MacBook vanished from Brashear’s office. He told the occupiers that even when the 100-year-old Upper West Side church extended help to addicts during the 1980s drug scourge, no visitors touched its $12,500 sacramental instrument.

    Nice people you associate with Barry.
    I am so glad that wouldn’t happen at my church.

    Today our pastor had a message that said as Christians we are to cherrish life and protect the unborn and prayed for sanctity of a marriage between a man and a woman.

    These people have no respect for anyone or anything.
    Religion being highest on their list.. except Paganism and Islam.
    Bet you anything they wouldn’t have pissed on a Koran.

    Church leaders, when you let a wild animal into your house you can not be surprised when they tear the place up.

    Wow, they’re just like the 10′s of thousands of men and women who showed up at DC for the Tea Party Protest.

    No one would agree with that statement, not even remotely, ~~ except for the main stream media.

    It belonged to them (the OWS). That is exactly how they feel .Everything is theirs.
    For some reason, they think that if it were a communist country, they would not have to work. But, in a communist country, they’d kill you or send you to a work camp if you didn’t do as they said.
    They will all vote for Obama. Count on it.

    The OWS crowd is 100 percent the litter/by product of the Marxist Democrats. They were organized and encouraged by the Leftists. They have control of the media, most of academia, certain “chosen” businesses and the WH is the quarterback.

    All are involved in a very coordinated, decades long thrust to destroy that all has created this great Nation built upon our Founders and their Judeo-Christian principles.

    Further, Marxist Left is using Islam and Islam is using the Left.

    The time will soon arrive ( and it started with Newt standing CNN’s King down) when we will no longer allow them to humiliate, lie, ridicule and subjugate the Christians and our Jewish brethren

    Anyone that does not see a worldwide showdown between truth and evil is about to be rudely awakened.

    The pastor thought he was dealing with downtrodden lambs when in reality he was dealing with wolves.

    He should have realized they were nilistic destructive idealogically driven thieves

    They have proclamed loudly that they believe themselves victims entitled to take anything they want.

    Perpetual victims are the most dangerous wolves out there, just look at muslims

    The Churches weren’t offering sanctuary, they were offering support.

    They received back from the OWS scum exactly what they deserved… to get stabbed in the back and pissed on.

    I’d bet that the same Churches closed their doors and locked their gates when the TEA Party rallies passed by them.

    He is out of his fcking mind if he thinks this makes him look good.
    He is not an American. He knows nothing abt. this country.

    I’m beginning to see ‘value’ in Obama’s Occupiers. All this time I’ve been asking ‘what purpose do they serve’. Sad to say that it took me this long, but it finally dawned on me that they could serve OUR purpose very well.

    After all, what could be better than a living example of progressive ideology clamoring to be front and center for all to see? Their actions, words and self-proclaimed accomplishments perfectly illustrate what mere words cannot.

    To hear a murder described makes one cringe, but to actually see it, moves one to action.

    I would be looking for both there replacements, he is so tied to their monvment he can go preach in the park to them, maybe they would let him live.

    What is wrong with you people, mocking a rabbi, minster, preacher or any holy man for doing what the bible tells them to do. and as far as the ones that desecrate the church and steal from them they will be punished by God. A far worse punishment than they will get here on earth.

  50. a human says:

    What poor pitiful humans these are to think they are somebody special because they can defile what others hold as sacred. It is not the objects that are sacred, it is the One whom they represent and the One is the One to whom vengeance belongs. Not that I expect any of you folk to read this but your actions and your position will purchase for you only everlasting interment.
