The Devil Made Him Do It

Pastor arrested protesting school's evil mascot
By QMI Agency

A minister who was arrested outside a Georgia high school for disorderly conduct says he was speaking out against the school's evil mascot.

Pastor Donald Crosby told CBS affiliate WMAZ he was "standing up for Jesus" when he was arrested Monday outside the Warner Robins school, and he'd do it again.

"I don't scare easily. Lock me up as many times as you have to lock me up. Even kill me if you have to. I'm standing up for Jesus," he said.

A Warner Robins police press release says Crosby, 26, was arrested at 7:07 a.m. outside the local high school after officers responded to a call of several people picketing there.

"Officers found the group did not possess a picketing permit," the release says.

"On several occasions, offers asked Crosby to leave the premises. He refused to comply with officers and was arrested. The remaining people dispersed in an orderly fashion," police said.

Crosby has been charged with disorderly conduct.

WMAZ reported Crosby and the group of protesters were out front of the school on the first day of classes. The school's sports teams are called the Demons.

Is this pastor seriously this mad about a high school having a Demon mascot? So I guess everyone at Duke and Wake Forest are devil worshipers? I think if religious zealots spent half as much time just being nice, helping people and serving at soup kitchens as they do yelling at gays, killing abortion doctors and protesting at schools then they'd probably have the congregations they crave. And they're starting to come off as the bad guys. In fact, the last Pro Satan protest I saw was very peaceful until some Christian got involved.
