In the Santa Clara WEEKLY that I picked up yesterday, I learned that atheist activists won yet another battle locally to eradicate religious symbols from public life. Removal of Park Cross: City Cave-in or Prudent Compromise? described the removal from city property of a 14 foot granite cross that stood in the Mission Cross Park in Santa Clara for nearly 64 years.
Much pressure is being put on cities to remove Christian religious symbols. Sometimes even when Christian images are banned, by some lapse of logic, pagan idols are not. Near where I live in San Jose, for example, nativity scenes were forbidden for a while in the yearly Christmas in the Park event. Wrap your mind around that idea for a second: scenes of the birth of Christ were not being allowed at a Christmas event! What made the situation even more irrational is Christmas in the Park is held in the same city park that features a sculpture of an Aztec god. That offensive sculpture is not only a homage to Quetzalcoatl but is notorious for its distastefully scatalogical appearance. (See Mama! Mira! Caca en la Plaza! for more about that particular waste of taxpaper money.)

Thus the need to destroy these stupid/deceived people.
Talk about your classic pyrrhic victory....
I've heard that the two major tenets of atheism are
1) There is no God
and
2) I hate Him.
It sounds like you’re trying to make a point but I have no idea what it is.
Minority groups that have immigrated here have ZERO appreciation for European, Western, and Christian culture, tradition, and heritage.
Immigrants vote for Leftists that openly and proudly destroy traditional American and Christian institutions.
That's the point. Nobody should be shocked anymore when things like this happen in immigrant communities and states.
At least if the islamists win, they’ll kill all the commies.
