Attacking The Church

What I mean by attacking the church is that someone has been attacking the buildings in Alabama setting fires and either causing damage or burning the building to the ground.
It has been reported that two men in a Chevy Surburban have been seen leaving one fire.
Has a firefighter I have taken a class on arson fires and learned some of the reasons that people would set fires. Trill seeking, revenge, seeking money (I doubt this one) are some that I can remember. I have thought that cult or hate group could be involved but they have set fires in Baptist Churches and it didn't matter what type of congregation the church had.
Some of the firefighters fighting the fire were members of the churches that were burned and you could tell by the the ones interviewed by National TV news that they were sad and angered by what is happening.
I hope these people responsable make a mistake which causes them to be caught. I have know some arsonist to be fleeing a fire and get into accident and be caught that way.

An arson can only go on a spree for so long before getting caught. They'll be brought to justice soon.

I notice these sorts of things have a way of flaring up every few years, often mainly in the South, I'm curious what exact factors cause this, although I notice Christianity has a much more ubiquitous public appearance in the South than here in Colorado.

From what is now the profile of these two people who are doing this.
Two men in their 20s or 30s.
Driving a SUV
Real close friends.
The last church that they had set fire to was on the Ala. Miss border.
ATF and state law enforcement are doing their best to find them.
Hopefully these two will do thing to get themselfs caught.
