Do you stop all religious displays or just Christian, Jewish or Muslim?
There are plenty of religious symbols from ancient religions all over
public property. I'd kind of like them removed as well.

I have a friend who is an atheist. He compares it to how I feel about
any resources from my tax money going to abortion. Not sure I agree
with the equivalency of the resources involved but I can see his
point. If that is his only issue with my stance I would like to ask to
stop all displays of Nativity Scenes in trade for not funding any
abortions. Anyway, I thought his argument was fairly reasoned.
I still ddon't understand why they care. It seems some are just purely
to try and rub Christians nose in the fact they don't believe and
think you are stupid for doing so. I view it like a lot of things. I
don't care f you are gay or straight, married or just living with
someone, Dem or Rep. As long as it doesn't affect me I simply don't
give a shit.

most of these "athiests" "agnostics" "satanists" whatever "ist"
they present as, couldnt even tell you the basic tenets of their
"ist" and all they do is parrot simplistic talking points from the
borg of nevergrewups ... "if you celebrate christmas, than a
pagan" nonsense like that
society has slowly moved to the age of adulthood being a sliding
scale, with fewer and fewer on the lower end every generation.
the bulk of actual athiests, agnostics, satanists and other non
attention whore ists could really give a shit less what others do
just remember, just because the loudmouth makes the most noise, it
doesnt mean they represent the majority of their fellows. Also,
remember, everyone is unique, just like everyone else.

We have days on the calendar about people.
Presidents day used to be Wash’n and Linc’n bdays.
MLK day.
Casmir Pulaski day.
Columbus day.
So, why are the atheists and others so unhappy about displays
on public property about Jesus.
I doubt anyone in Illinios would get unhappy if the local park
had a Lincoln-Douglas plaque... actually Quincy had exactly that.
Public displays frequently celebrate or inform about events in
history.
Our legal system has its basis in the bible, with some of the
legal doctrine based on the advise of Jesus.
He lived. He taught. He gave advice. It affected history.
Just like MLK.
But on MLK day do the pentagram sculptures try to share space
with MLK events?
I don’t get why the Jesus events on public property are such
an insult or affront to some people.
