Atheists VS American Legion

[red states rule]

Once again, the majority suffers as the "offended" minority throws a temper tantrum

How the hell can reasonable person be offended over a memorial for fallen Police officers?

The more I read about this story the more pissed off I get. Why would athiests care about crosses? Do they care simply to be a pain in the ass?

The crosses are a expression of faith and honoring the dead. It is not a state sponsored religion

People prefer to confuse "separation of church and state" with "Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion." There's a difference.

and again, real Christians don't need to have their tax dollars spent on nativity scenes on public. We can go to our churches and our homes can be decorated to celebrate the season. Christmas in America has become a commercial enterprise and the message of Jesus has long been lost in the process.

You talking about God, church, and the message is like Bill Clinton lecturing others on the importance of fidelity in a marriage

You are the last person I would listen to when it comes to matters of religon and what God expects from us

You would never listen to me about anything... and I would be the same. I know my faith, and I know my church, and I feel confident that we have the right idea when it comes to Christmas. Christmas, to you and your ilk, is about buying THINGS and I feel pretty sure that Jesus would not want his birthday trivialized like that.

You are right opn that

You are a liar, a dirtbag, a schemer, and you remind me a piece of decaying dog shit on the sidewalk

It is libs like you that are destroying this nation by constantly wanting to impose YOUR beliefs on the rest of us and making us live our lives the way you dem we should

So spare me and the rest of us your usal pity party Virgil. I just want you out of here and let you crawl back into the sewers of your town in Maine

I would suggest that, by using city tax dollars that come from Christians and Jews and Muslims and Hindus and Atheists to erect a shrine to Christ's birth on public property, it is the Religious Right who are imposing their beliefs on everyone else and expecting them to pay for it as well.

Look stupid, the crosses are NOT a symbol conveying a religion

They are a memorial to policemen who died in the line of duty. Some where the cross was put up

Now do you get it?

I was responding to you comment about the upcoming "war against Christmas"

sorry if I didn't make that clear.

How do you reconcile your faith and your relationship with Jesus - and your ability to use the "C" word when speaking to women?

I am a sinner... as are you. Sometimes I fail. Sometimes I let my anger overtake my faith. I guess I wasn't aware that you had achieved perfection.

No perfection here, but I also don't try and lecture others, or proclaim to have been a minister, nor try to have an aura of superiority when speaking of my faith. Those who run around using the "C" word, and non-stop using other cuss words, probably shouldn't be lecturing in the slightest bit.

I am not lecturing anyone about anything. I DO have an opinion about this whole faux "war on Christmas" stuff.... Christmas is a holiday that Christians celebrate... it ought not to require that non-Christians be forced to spend their tax dollars to erect nativity scenes on public property to mark a season that really has become nothing but an excuse to shop for stuff.
