Atheist "nativity" at California State Capitol

RE: Atheist "nativity" at California State Capitol
Be fair now, Huggy.  Half of the Founding Fathers weren't genocidal slave holders.

Atheists are quick to point out the Bible is evil because in their mind it condones slavery and genocide, yet are totally ok with celebrating genocidal slave owners themselves...

Actually, this atheist thinks religion needs to stay out of government and that's why I was glad to see the display. We don't need to normalize or accept religious displays on government property. I don't agree with everything the founding fathers stood for either but we don't need to throw the Bill of Rights baby out with the bathwater.

Hard to be free from religion when the religious insist on using public displays.

You religion is like your dick, Chad. It's great you have one, I'm very happy for you, but quit trying to shove it down the throats of strangers.

That same display was put up in Texas in the past, and former governer rick perry personally had it taken down after 2 days, proclaiming it to not be a sincere expression of religious belief.

Don't worry, my friend.  If this be the end, then so shall it be.

Matthew 6

1 Take heed that ye do not your alms before men, to be seen of them: otherwise ye have no reward of your Father which is in heaven.
2 Therefore when thou doest thine alms, do not sound a trumpet before thee, as the hypocrites do in the synagogues and in the streets, that they may have glory of men. Verily I say unto you, They have their reward.
3 But when thou doest alms, let not thy left hand know what thy right hand doeth:
4 That thine alms may be in secret: and thy Father which seeth in secret himself shall reward thee openly.
 The granting of a pardon is an imputation of guilt, and the acceptance a confession of it.
