Nativity scene draws ire in small town in AR.

Freedom of religion isn't enough for Christians, they also need to display it on public buildings, broadcast it on public airways, pray in public events, etc. etc. If you try to get them to back off just a little so the rest of us don't have to see and hear their nonsense everywhere they throw a fit like they are getting their heads chopped off.

Why they can't do their praying in private like their God told them to is beyond me. STFU already and leave us logical people with an environment that isn't dominated by crazy invisible fantasy crap.

The world would be a much better place without religion.

It's impossible to say one way or another. Either way shitty humans exist.

I'm not particularly religious, but seeing a nativity scene wouldn't irk me one bit, nor would I wish to see it removed.

As someone once said, it "neither picks my pocket nor breaks my leg."

I don't care if you find it preferable to believe in a man-made fairy tale that makes you feel like you and the life you live is worth something special - that's your ego.

If you only knew how to rid yourself of that ego, which also a made up thing, you'd be well on your way to understanding the true nature of reality.

How? And please think your answer through, not a rehash of "Imagine".

It's about time that someone reads the establishment clause to the supreme court. It very clearly states that the government shall make no law to establish a religion. It doesn't say a fucking word about the separation of church and state. The only mention "separation of church and state" by the founders was in a letter (I think it was written by Madison, but I could be wrong) that was about keeping the government out of the church, not the other way around. All the founders were very clear about where the values they tried to ensure came from. Contrary to the progressive bullshit being passed around today, the founders were all very religious. I am not a very religious person, I do know that America would be a very different place without the Judeo-Christian values the founders gave us in our founding documents. It is time for America to return to the Constitutional government that served us so well for the first 150 years.

If people like the nativity scene so much then they can just set one up in their own front yard. Bunch of whiners on both sides.

Ya'll act surprised.

Our country has been infiltrated for decades by the evil ones. We're over and done with.

Not completely, but coming to a neighborhood near you.

Stop making these kinds of issue a matter of right versus left.

It is about following the LAW.

It is about the fact that America is NOT a christian nation.

Get over it.

I don't think it's impossible to say either way.

Religion is single-handedly the prime motivating factor responsible for more deaths, abuse, torture and war in this world than I care to list.

Not to mention all the hate, the arguments, the tearing apart of families and friends, and the dividing of mankind throughout the world.

I rest my case your honor.

You expected them to be logical?

All evidence to the contrary.

BULL!
This is about left vs. right, believers vs. non believers and we both KNOW IT!

There are more Christians than unbelievers, you might want to remember that, because we tolerate you, and, by being an overbearing, arrogant, loudmouthed minority, you could change that situation for the worse.

Bullshit.

Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof;


The law does not forbid the government displaying religious symbolism. It only forbids them enforcing a state religion or making practicing one's religion (within the confines of the law) illegal.

Get over it.

So...after 15 years only NOW the lefties in the area get mad about this?

Your so-called religious beliefs must be awfully weak.

Christians who rant and whine and bitch probably have ZERO honest and real faith.

People like you are a huge part of what's wrong with all of society.

Only because christians are not willing to be private about their beliefs and respectful of all others, and are fanatics about pushing their religion on society in general.

"them" . . . christians are some of the greatest dividers in society.

It is just soooo easy to hate these cheesy little twat-waffles...

Are their lives just so meaningless that they have to attack a holiday?

Why?

It won't matter what answer I give you. The fact that you're a defender of religion means any answer I provide you will be immediately deemed worthless because of your pro-religious bias.

Pro-religious bias? Tell me why it is preferable to think of my child as a soul-less piece of meat in a meaningless world of chance and natural selection, where even my love for my child can be explained away as nothing but brain functions?

You can't tell me, because you don't believe the crap you want to sell other people. If you acted consistent with your beliefs you'd be a sociopath, or worse. That's why religion is preferable.

The brightest minds on the planet are still debating what is "the true nature of reality", but you've got it all figured out, eh?

Your ego has no bearing on this at all, does it?
