Atheism...when you don’t believe in anything...not even yourself.

It’s OK for Lefties to shove their values down our throats, but don’t you DARE return the favor.

“Myth”? There’s a Vatican Library full of information to the contrary.

Atheists don’t pull this crap during Ramadan.

If atheists want to celebrate the Holy-Day of Christmas without Christ, by all means go right ahead. That is their right. But their "right" to Christmas without Christ ends at my right to celebrate Christmas with Christ.

If they want to worship a make believe, fat guy in a red suit, and spend oodles of money they don't have, to buy gifts for people that will forget the gift in a week, I won't stop them. And I'll still wish them a Merry Christmas the same as anybody else.

I don’t know, let the atheists waste their money. It may unwittingly drive more people to think about Jesus, and whether they celebrate the holiday for secular or religious reasons.

It is a sinful billboard, to be sure, but I don’t know if I’d blame Lamar advertising. I think I might try to put up something like:

Have EID without Mohammed! It’s ok to have a holiday without a false prophet!

And see if Lamar would accept it. If not, the other one should be taken down.

Well, I guess if you can have morality without God, I guess you can celebrate Christmas without Christ. Neither is philosophically coherant, but what else is new today?

We are ruled by low information voters and you find them in every area of life.

I guess “Merry Winter Solstice” just didn’t fly.

I cannot fathom while this little punk MUST get the word out like this - why MUST they do this? It’s like a kid that cannot resist putting his hand in the cookie jar. In my 47 years of Catholicism, I have never pushed my faith onto anyone else.

What is it with these people that they just gotta get their shot in?

Every “atheist” I know celebrates Christmas exactly the same way Christians do. My daughter in law even goes to church and sings carols.
But she is always quick to lecture on the myth. Frankly she is more angry at God than she is sure He doesn’t exist.

Nope I am not offended at all. That is their right to free speech.

I get offended when these idiots want to tear down nativity scenes and any reference to God. Guess they should stop using currency that says “In God We Trust”.

1st Amendment works both ways. I am a Christian, but protesting against this is anathema.

You win people by converting them, not by protesting against them.

They just keep asking themselves, “is nothing sacred”?

There is a reason the season isn't called Mythmas.

I read where a liberal stated that CHRISTmas was too religious and the HOLYday made her uncomfortable.

Evidently thinking Christians somehow hijacked the Christmas Holiday.

Why do they want to steal someone else’s holiday? How about starting their own holiday. I suggest Darwin’s Birthday as a possible choice.

Of course, it’s obvious enough why they do it. Christmas is almost universally celebrated, and nobody gives a damn about Darwin’s birthday. But if they don’t like that, how about trying to change it—by pushing their own damned holiday.

They can call for Phillip Morris for all I care, what they want does not matter to me.

“We know that a large population of ‘Christians’ are actually atheists who feel trapped in their family’s religion.

We know that a large population of “atheists” are actually Christians who just feel the pressure to go along to get along.

There. How does that feel?

The truth is that Xmas is a myth but Jesus, especially Jesus the Savior, is all too real.

Proving the truth about Xmas is about the easiest myth to research. After doing so may decades ago, I have found the truth about the birth of Jesus to be far more satisfying than the syncretic holiday observed even by secularists.

Just one web page of the many I could refer anyone to:

Of course these same atheists will ignore the Muslim myth of Mohammed. How come they are not digging into the story of that religious cult?

Which reminds me: Megan Kelly did an interview with John Stossel today. He does not believe in G_D.

Watch his program tonight as he discusses this. He says he is a Jew, raised by Jewish parents who converted to Christianity.
