More of the fake war on Christmas.

Look at the dishonest title....Here "Crowding Out"
http://journalstar.com/news/local/atheis...e=comments
"Taken Down" used in this title......Well yea, just like when you buy a movie ticket you still have to leave the theater to allow the next group to use it.

Now once again, others using the same government venue is not denial of your rights. But if theists insist on not sharing those venues with others then the only option is to keep all holiday displays NEUTRAL. Our country does not lack lawns on private property such as homes and churches that can be viewed from public roads in passing.

teachings of the Bible are so muddled and self-contradictory that it was possible for Christians to happily burn heretics alive for five long centuries. It was even possible for the most venerated patriarchs of the Church, like St. Augustine and St. Thomas Aquinas, to conclude that heretics should be tortured (Augustine) or killed outright (Aquinas). Martin Luther and John Calvin advocated the wholesale murder of heretics, apostates, Jews, and witches. - Sam Harris, "Letter To A Christian Nation"

Well when they use "War" they are right, but just not in the context they want to falsely portray as an act of government persecution. They hide behind holidays to claim persecution, but yea, there is a "war" of ideas, sure. If you buy an old book that claims men pop out dirt, I am going to object to such a claim. If you claim that magic babies exist and can be born with invisible "Holy Ghostsperm" without a second set of DNA, yea, I will object to that claim too.
But as far as denying you the right to make bad claims, no.You can make any bad claim you want, but others have the right to counter such claims. But as far as holidays, sure, put Jesus in it, worship him yep, you can, that part is not under government threat.

Well if you haven't noticed Christians are perpetually declaring how they are under attack and at war with somebody and I mean all the fucking time. They even made the industry of martyrs that died for Christianity, with mostly totally invented lives. But they go with fairy tales that there was this good saint guy that helped poor people and then he was killed by satan driven people that hate other people and especially those that help people in need.
It is remarkably clever. You do not advocate violence against your enemies; you just tell people that your enemies are engaged in a violent struggle against you. What follows is then natural. You fight back.
The gays, they say, are conducting a war against marriage and family. Those who advocate separation of church and state are ‘at war with believers.’
Now with celebration of Winter Solstice - to which they think they invented, because again they have no connection with reality - and if you don't celebrate it their way you are against them, you want them dead and they have to fight back.
Winter Solstice is one of the most ancient holidays from the times when people worshiped trees, so when Winter Solstice came they knew that in few months their beloved trees would "come to life" again, so they would decorate them. One of everyday customs that still survived to this day from tree worshiping days is when people knock on wood to remove the evil eye.

Just between where I buy my smokes in one direction, and my moms place in the other, there are many nativities I see on private property lawns next to public roads. I am really sick of the bullshit persecution complex. If these morons want to know what that is like they can move to Saudi Arabia or Iran or Afghanistan and try putting a display even on their own lawn.
Saying government property is either shared or neutral is not an attack on their rights.

So, every birthday that rolled around, did Joseph and Mary set up a nativity scene ??
The granting of a pardon is an imputation of guilt, and the acceptance a confession of it.

Verbally only. Atheists get their billboards and displays and homes and any private property harmed as well. Bitching someone out is one thing, taking the law into your own hands NO.
