Vandals egg house of local atheist

Normally, I'd get really worried and upset about an article like this. But as imaginative as I am, I cannot make this stuff up!

Going house Egging
Brought out my chalk, criss crossing
Jesus Mis-spelt? How???

Vandals egg house of local atheist

The home of a local outspoken atheist was vandalized overnight Friday, police said -- with eggs tossed at the house and cars, and crosses and religious words scrawled in chalk on the driveway.

A church bulletin also was stuck on the front door.

The incident comes days after Rob Sherman's daughter, Dawn, led a successful effort to have the song "God Bless America" yanked from Buffalo Grove High School's homecoming celebration. Dawn Sherman is a freshman on the student council.

The vandalism likely was the retaliatory work of youngsters, police Sgt. Mike Millett said -- since it came on the heels of the school incident and because one of the chalked words, "Jesus," was misspelled.
