I'm not part of your faith but It angers me when people take this action. When you do a crime against one person its usually just that person affected but when you damage a whole building it affects 100s of people for a long time.
Revenge Buildings Mormon Arson
Ever since the Prop 8 debacle in California, the LDS church and all its members have been under condemnation. There are lists on the Internet with all the names of people who donated to the bill's passage and the amounts donated. "Stop the Haters" I think it's called. I know, because my name is on one. So, I take it as a given that at some point I will be targeted for a hate crime, whether it's myself personally or my church meetinghouse.
Yes, I'm sure it's some kind of revenge, or at least a hate crime. I would anticipate more, and worse, coming in the future.

An arrest was made in the 2006 arson of an LDS church building thanks to DNA evidence found at the scene. The perpetrator was in jail already so link him to the crime was pretty easy since they didn't have to go and look for him.
QUOTE SPRINGVILLE -- Four years after the crime, an arrest has been made in the 2006 arson of an LDS church building thanks to DNA evidence found at the scene.
The Utah County Attorney's office, along with officers of the Springville Police Department, announced Monday that they had arrested Jake Dowhaniuk, 24, for the arson.
Police say Dowhaniuk, a former Springville resident, was easy to find because he was already in prison. He has spent the past three years there, serving time for several burglary convictions.
DNA evidence he submitted when he was sent to prison ultimately tied him the arson and allowed Springville police to solve the 4-year-old case.
According to officers, the break came in the case because of evidence recovered at the scene. Officers indicated that when the suspect broke into the church he apparently cut himself. They were able to collect enough evidence to obtain a DNA sample and have been waiting for a match ever since.
Lt. Dave Caron with the Springville Police Department said, "We had a lot of calls and a lot of suspicions and we followed every lead we possibly could, all the while holding out a lot of hope that the DNA evidence would turn up something."
That match was made a few weeks ago by the State Crime Lab, and the information was forwarded to the Utah County attorney's office.
"When you get some samples in the laboratory, you never know if that's going to solve that old case you've been working for years," said state crime lab director Jay Henry...
