I'm not sure I get the problem with a nativity scene on Christmas--it's a Christian holiday, no? Would you object to a Menorah on Chanukah?

I call my self agnostic because I don't have a sure belief in whether or not a higher power exists. I don't think I really give a **** either.
I think all religions are wrong though. I also think that atheist who are trying to convert people need to realize that it's easier to win with sugar rather than salt. Battling Christmas is just moronic to me. Satan Clause has transcended Christianity and has become a beast for all of us to bow before. If not he will consume you. Look, he's already consumed the whole month of November! At the end of the day, how can any human tell any other human that they have the knowledge and understanding of what a higher power is or if it exists? I don't think we can even grasp the concept of eternity. So many people say that they'll love somebody else forever yet get divorced in 5 years. We can't even comprehend what free will is and whether or not it exists. |

then there is the angle where they ask for all religious viewpoints to be given the same platform problem being that atheism has no traditions or rituals or anything to really make the type of symbolic **** that a holiday is made of so there really isn't a symbol or something that you could erect in honor of atheism and have people register it so the atheists, when they got the platform they wanted, just put a bunch of preachy atheist bs basically the atheist equivalent of a sign that says "repent or go to hell" and of course people are offended by the displays and it causes a controversy so the city just decides to shut the whole thing down, nativity scene and all and that's how the grinch literally stole christmas |

I'm agnostic too, it's the only stand that makes sense to me. some say it's not a stand all or that it is the stand of the undecided but idk if i would agree with that. |

The days of the week are named after the Sun, the Moon, Tiu (Týr), Woden, Thor, Freya, and Saturn. Does the government give up the use of the days of the week because by using them it's an "endorsement" of those gods? Thanksgiving, some say is based on the Jewish harvest feast, others say it's based on pagan harvest feast. I don't see it as an endorsement of either Judaism or paganism since it's a government holiday. I think that some traditions (Christmas, Thanksgiving, days of the week) that somehow enter into public conscientiousness are not threatening to the separation of church and state. They are just traditions and no one in government is compelling one to believe in a specific religion, doctrine, creed etc. |

As far as Fox News and their viewers go, there's no chance they'll ever shut up. They want to be victims so badly that I'm sure they'd still be crying persecution even if they spent all twelve days of Christmas personally shoving figurines of the baby Jesus up the asses of every non-Christian in America. |

It's a very slippery slope in regard to Jesus and the Bible being force fed by law. EDIT: I'm pretty much echoing the second part of Jans' post. |
