That's yet another crock of crap. Atheists are not bullying anyone. You
want a Nativity scene? Fine. Put it up on your front lawn or on your
church's lawn, but not on the lawn of a public school or in a public
park. There is no place for religious functions or displays in the
public schools.

Note, however, there is little objection to public college courses
teaching "comparative religions," so long as the teaching isn't favoring
one religion over another.

It is intolerant to force your religious views onto the public schools
or onto public facilities.

----------------------------

Those public facilities belong to the religious as well as to the
Atheists.

And that doesn't entitle either to state sponsorship. Do it on your own.


So what does putting up a Christmas Tree, or Playing A Charlie Brown
Christmas have to do with State Sponsorship? Nothing, nothing at all...


It does if the tree is put up on public property, idiot.

Have you shot any IRS collections agents yet?

Sure it does. A Christmas tree has evolved to become the symbol of
Christmas, the alleged time of the birth of Jesus, a religious figure.
The tree is not a symbol of wintertime or the coming of the new year. It
is a Christian religious symbol, just like Jesus, for who it is named.
When the tree is put up in front of a public school or in a public park,
et cetera, the implication is that the government supports/sponsors that
religion. Such support is not Constitutional. It isn't my problem that
you are too stupid to understand the principle.

Oh, and for consistency's sake, I am opposed to the "national" Christmas
tree in downtown DC, along with any other religious symbolism
supported/sponsored by government. I don't think the POTUS should be
engaged in supporting such religious celebrations if they are
sponsored/supported by the government.

These beliefs have nothing to do with agnosticism or atheism, by the way.

I don't go to the Church of Christianity, I go to the Roman Catholic
church in my neighborhood. I am not a Christian specifically, I am Roman
Catholic.
