Until Bill O;Reilly mentioned this tonight on FOX News, I had no idea this was happening right here in my own state capital. This state, has completly lost it.

I really think this is a symptom of the West’s inability to defend any philosophical position anymore. We used to all know that religion was socially good - even the irreligious acknowledged that.

But this makes zero sense! If they believe in nothing, then their display should be nothing. The other religions believe in something and their displays reflect that.
What nut job determined that an anti_display was appropriate?

I say lets play the “fairness” card: give them their place in government displays and give God his place in government schools.

“If they believe in nothing, then their display should be nothing.”
Oddly enough, some atheists these days have more evangelical zeal than most people of faith.

Religion is but myth and superstition that hardens hearts and enslaves minds." Atheism is, of course, a contrast. Atheism just enslaves bodies.

...why are they being a$$hole$? Okay I can go along if they want to put up a display that says “It’s the solstice” or something - but why the swipes?
Just like the gays - the people who demand the most sensitivity give none.

“There are no gods, no devils, no angels, no heaven or hell.”
And just where is their objective proof of this? Nowhere. This is just their own myth and superstition created out of the hardness of their hearts and enslaved minds.

I have no problem with this, if it means Christians won’t get hassled about putting up a Creche. I’m thinking people will read the atheists’ message and just snicker.

Exactly. Would they have accepted a display from a religious group calling all other religions and the non-religious...”heathens?” I think not.
