Damn, I wish something or somebody would offend me!
I agree to an extent that atheists don’t care what Christians or Jews do, but there is a growing movement of evangelical atheists that claim to be the only “intelligent” people and having all the answers as we believers in God have fallen for a fairy tale.
I hear you, maybe it is time for the offended to find a hobby. (Other then worrying about what your neighbors are doing)
Well then that word must be scrubbed from the conscience. /s ;)
I do.......unfortunately there is a vocal minority of atheists that pulls this crapola....and gives the rest of us a bad rap.
It might matter if it is State property, City property, or Federal property. If it is State or City property the claim should be dismissed out of hand. If Federal property they need to go to the White House and protest the National Christmas tree ceremony and have Christmas undeclared a national holiday.
BS!
The Nativity scene does not violate: "Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion,"
But you atheists are having the government violate: "Congress shall make no law... or prohibiting the free exercise thereof;
Because they’re communists using atheism as a front.
Problem is, atheism is a religious belief. Removing all traces of religion is catering to that belief. I see that as a greater violation of the 1st amendment than multi-religous displays.
Getting worse. Saying “mother and father” is illegal in some areas. You can be arrested for drawing a picture of a noose. You lose your job for saying what you think, or repeating known facts.
Seems to me that everything that White Christian heterosexuals NORMALLY say and do is being criminalized!
Where has the country gone?
Intolerant bastards.
Because the child wasnt aborted.
This issue of religious symbols or speeach in government offices has already been decided on by the Supreme Court.
Any government can display religious signs or discuss religious idealogy whenever they want. It is a judgement call by city of states whether they cave in to political pressure or not. Our House of Representatives begins each day with the Pledge of Allegiance stating we are ‘one nation under God’. Get over it athiests, you already forced us many times to acknowledge you displeasure about a society under God. If you athiests are that displeased about nativity scenes, the easter bunny, wiccan symbols or a picture of muhammed on a government building lawn then I suggest you move to another country. I am Christian but even if I wasn’t, I would still respect the meaning of Christmas of good tidings to all men. Or the meaning of the ten commandments that respect for one’s neighbors and restraining selfishness that hurts other people and sets a standard is a GOOD thing for our society. GROW UP!

Menominee, MI does have a band shell. At least it had one the last time I was there!
