Interesting, the christers are, apparently, allowed to disseminate virtually any and all propaganda they wish concerning the holiday season, but, when a dissenting voice is raised the argument arises that says" Atheism is a belief, not a religion " , now..... it beats me what the distinction is, granted Atheism is not a mainstream belief, neither do I consider my atheism as a religion, but, agreed, it is my belief. Buy why is what I believe denigrated because someone else says "yes it is a belief, but not a religion", ergo the opinions of Atheists' don't count! Is this the same thing as the State of Washington deciding that my opinion on religion does not count? Because I do not agree with the varied and sundry state sanctioned religions, my thoughts are shunned? Yup, everyone has free speech except Atheist, Oh Yeah, heaven forbid we should ever disagree with Big Brother. Yall might have guessed, this kinda ticks me off.

Hah - yes, this was one of those times where the injustice of the placard was so fully blown that stealing (and breaking the laws of the land) are completely justified. Just like when you might need to kill somebody in self-defense.

Oh good. So you won't mind then if someone steals the Nativity scene? After all, fair is fair and it's injustice to only represent one side of things.

Well, if it's ok to cherry pick passages from the bible, what's wrong with ignoring one little commandment.

Of course. I would steal the nativity scene myself if I lived in the area. The nativity is full blown disrespectful to my belief that Jesus was born on a cloud somewhere near Heaven.

or

You missed my sarcasm - do I really have to resort to using smilies?
