The Tower Bridge is one of the most recognizable landmarks in Sacramento and as of late has become a victim of vandalism, or in this case, what I’d like to call evandalism–you know what I’m talking about. It’s not hard to guess who might be responsible for this but I will be one to say that it needs to stop right away. Please do not spread your message on a landmark! On so many levels this is just wrong and does not sit well with me at all. I’m not here to bash Christianity. I do recognize that it is not a religion that stuck the “Jesus is Lord” and “Hallelujah” stickers to the Tower Bridge and surrounding area but most likely a group of young, naive kids out to do “good.” Good deeds and effectiveness, well, that’s definitely something that is open to interpretation but from my perspective I cannot get past the weirdness of it all. “Jesus is Lord” and “The Prince of Peace is Lord” stickers all over the place–that’s just weird!!! ;) For the record, if the message were of political nature or a local band advertising themselves I would feel no different (so please no religious debates on my blog.) Bottom line, public property is not to be destructed. Thank you very much.

So taking a step back from the heaviness of the topic, everybody does react differently to things like this and I must say that my reaction included a lot of laughter and wondering what the hell these people were thinking. Vandals for Jesus? Hmm… So anyway, enjoy the message and feel free to share your thoughts.

By the way, the cost of painting the Tower Bridge is estimated at $3.5 million.
