Looking at it again I feel actually more convinced, because if you wade through to verse 16 it says "So this Sheshbazzar came and laid the foundations of the house of God in Jerusalem. From that day to the present it has been under construction but is not yet finished." And if you were so inclined, you could indeed see the few large stones of a stone circle as a temple unfinished. But why you'd then feel the need to splash paint all over them is anyone's guess. So I reckon if you got the right house the combination of paint pots and bible study materials would give the culprit away. But how you'd find them in the first place is another matter. It is a whole fascinating study religious xenophobia and not a subject I would dare discuss on TMA. But a few years back I came across a religious tract pinned to the willow at Swallowhead Springs, ranting and raving in biblical terms against pagans and heathens, and after I had unscrumpled it and read it a second time I realised you can never understand people. So it is with vandals who paint on stones... Another incident, which falls short of vandalism I admit but made me angry at the time, was, I think at Alphamstone church with its stones. Being curious I went up to the lectern and read the page the bible was opened at. A dozen times the word 'harlot' was mentioned, and after my initial feminist rage and wanting to march up to the vicarage and haul the vicar out for him to explain what he thought the bible meant by a 'harlot' it suddenly struck me that the bible was quite a dangerous book to read Rhiannon;) I don't own one.....
