It’s just a coincidence, though
(Fox News) Atheist messages have displaced most of the Christmas nativity scenes that local churches had placed in a California park for nearly six decades, and the churches say it was a coordinated attack.
Local churches have traditionally claimed 14 of the 21 display spaces to illustrate the story of the birth of Jesus Christ.
But atheists got all but three of the spaces this year because of a new lottery system.
I’ve said before that I do not have a problem with others being given a place to put their messages up on public land. If Christians are going to be allowed, so should others, whether Muslim, Jewish (who rarely bother for their religious holidays), Buddhist, Church of the Flying Spaghetti Monster, or Atheists. Funny that the Atheists got the majority of the spaces, eh?
Of course, the Atheists are putting up respectful messages, right?
Two individuals got 18 spaces. One person can request a maximum of nine.
Damon Vix is behind the effort.
Last year, he put up a sign quoting Thomas Jefferson: “Religions are all alike — founded on fables and mythologies.” There were also selections on U.S. Supreme Court decisions about the importance of separating church and state.
Here’s the one that is published at most media outlets (by Ringo H.W. Chiu / AP, used under Fair Use laws)
So, instead of being respectful, the Atheists have to be obnoxious, rude, and disrespectful. They could have used the space to be nice, but, no, they have to annoy and insult Christians. So, we can expect them all to work on Christmas, right? They won’t go to the company Christmas party? Will refuse the holiday pay, and work a full week the week of the 25th?
