Whoop-de-doo, these miserable atheists got six out of ten spots on the law for a holiday they don't even believe in, they just don't want others to believe in Christmas either. Color me unimpressed.

How much you wanna bet these atheists will say that silent prayer on their deathbed?

Atheists might be more convincing if they focused more on a consistent application of their philosophy and less on sticking their finger exclusively in Christians’ eyes.

Wonder if these atheists have the stones to poke and prod Muslims the same way they do Christians? I’m guessing not...for obvious reasons.

Real atheists wouldn’t care anything at all about Christmas or winter solstice or whatever you want to call it. These guys are just mean-spirited jerks. I mean, just listen to atheists... they never shut up about their unproven theology, they are arrogant and insulting and proselytize far more loudly and rudely than even JWs.

Perhaps they ought to switch to some type of lotto to determine who gets to put up displays as opposed to the unfair reality of a first come first serve system.
To: skeeter
The sticking-a-finger-in-the-eye of Christians thing is the best part of atheism. That's the initial attraction for a lot of atheists. It gets their foot in the door of this new faith, and then they start to realize that there is a potential cost to their fun little game of tweak-the-Christian and they end up having to compensate by going whole hog into an alternate religious system:
With every fiber of their being, atheists believe that God is not real. They hold on to this belief with great fear and trembling because if they are wrong, they know they are in trouble.

Constitution signed.
But their interpretation of the seperations clause is somewhat more recent.

Maybe they didn’t expect to find athiests in line ahead of them at a christmas event? Nah, that wouldn’t be it.

And in this instance if they get caught going to and from their cars they might find that it's the middle of the night and they have NO VALVE CORES.
Not that I advocate such a thing, but I've known it to be done, and in those early morning hours, when it's been snowing, and you're all alone out there looking at 4 flat tires, you are SOL. It'll be 5:30 AM before the tow truck gets there.

In most cases they are anti-theists as they go beyond their own disbelief into angry condemnations of others.

It only goes to show that Atheism is a religious movement, and that it is engaged in evangelizing their faith to others.

To: Moose4
Exactly. I am sure they are on they way to Dearborn, Michigan as we speak to protest the call to prayer, etc. I am holding my breath...

For some reason, an atheist message can not challenge my faith or thus offend me.
