i wonder why more churches didn't apply?
The douches in this are the people whose applecart has been upset, and are now squealing like stuck pigs because someone else is acting like they have over the years. No longer having monopoly must be so upsetting. How dare anyone hold a contrary view, and dare to advertise it as well! Outrageous! Bah, humbug!
Hard to say. I'm sure there are many that are just not interested in putting up nativity scenes in some places. Not everyones into putting up displays and such that way. I also figure that there wasn't some large push to get non-residents to come in and put in an application to put up displays as was evidenced in regards to the athiest groups. I figure not knowing that people were going to get spots to do nothing but sit there with them and do NOTHING probably didn't help the matter.

Are you seriously and ridiculously attempting to equate a full out college course on Mythology of a religion and belief system held only by a infantismal population in modern times that taught in an institute of learning to a display out in public pointedly singling out only one singular modernly followed religion in its single sentence claim?
This dumbass arugment wasn't debate, its ignorant snark being passed off as something more than just trying to jab people with a stick.
Do you want to start by repealing the first amendment, or should we just declare atheism to be a terrorist organization?
We interned people of Japanese ancestry in WWII. You do what you have to do to save the Republic, including suspending the Constitution.
How about read the story.
Their issue isn't that people are attempting to "advertise their view". Their issue is that people specifically attempted to flood entries into the lottery not to be able to "advertise their view" but to specifically keep others from putting up their own displays, as evidenced by the fact that they are only using 3 of their 18 spaces to "advertise" and are simply squatting on the other 15 with nothing in them.
Are college courses in Greek or Norse mythology mocking and belittling?
During a holiday let people put up holiday displays. Right now it's Christmas and Chanukha. The big problem I have with this issue is the timing and target, these same atheists I doubt would have the nerve to put up a sign saying something like "Allah sucks balls" during Ramadan or other muslim holidays, and they probably wouldn't attack any other group besides christians and jewish faiths. There is no reason to **** on someone's celebration except to be a douche.Is there anything besides a nativity scene they could put in the other 15 spots that you would find acceptable?
For not claiming to have any faith these dicks sure do want to spread their beliefs around and oppress the beliefs of others.
I just meant it was even fishier.
Sure, whatever. Sometimes atheists are dicks, sometimes religious people are dicks.
No, it's not nice. Yes, it's legally okay, but that's not what you're asking. But don't you think it's also dickish to put up your religious display at a public building, as if it were an official one endorsed by the government, and then exclude all others?
Many regimes have outlawed religion, it's time we became proactive with these pesky atheists. Professed atheists should be jailed for society's protection, or better yet stripped of their citizenship and sent to China where they work along side other ChiComm atheists for $.75 a day and 2 bowls of rice. Let them experience Maoism and Marxism first hand, let them experience regimes that are hostile to religion.
America was bulit on the backs of the Religious it's time these atheists shape up or ship out. Get with the program or enjoy your 3 hots and a cot rotting in an 8 x 10 jail cell till you shape up.
Same with the Communists, outlaw them, much like Germany has outlawed Nazism, we need to be proactive here in America and start getting rid of the rats. Communism and Atheism go hand in hand.
You mean like the thousands of TV evangelist?[
Oppress other's beliefs? Man, can you give an example of how they do that? Does somebody live insider your brain controlling how you act, think, and believe?

I'm not sure why anyone should care about that poster. It makes a rooky mistake by attacking myths. No sensible man attacks myths or fairy tales, they are more true than much science or history. I just wish Chesterton were alive to see it.
You are using the appeal to popularity fallacy to justify special treatment for one mythology over another.
I don't believe that your issue is that the other major religions are absent. You would still take exception to the display. If they replaced the picture of Jesus with a picture of L. Ron Hubbard this thread would be full of jokes.
I have gathered that the general feeling is that the atheists were being dicks, not that they don't have the freedom to do what they did. You can still criticize someone's intentions or actions even if they are completely legal.And what we have learned in this thread:
rof Freedom of speech is absolute, except when it offends the religious.
Is there anything besides a nativity scene they could put in the other 15 spots that you would find acceptable?
Do you take exception to any other religions being referred to as myths?
Holy **** :shock:[video]http://www.xtranormal.com/watch/12813688/catholic-vs-atheist-christmas-edition[/video]
HAHAHAHAH...this is pretty horrible propaganda.
