I like one of the comments on the article: "How about instead of removing the Nativity, the 14% can add something pagan like Yule, or Mid-Winter's Fair, or just a sign that says, "We, the 14% who don't believe in God just want to have a sign to represent us. Here it is." "

I could paint the 14% sign!

This ticks me off but I suppose the church could still do it. I bet pissed off people would send them money to defray the cost.

The city heard a lot of complaints from the other side and has decided to go ahead and allow the nativity scene.

I'm sure the ACLU will be threatening a lawsuit shortly.

Yep. It looks like one Chattanooga television station is reporting that they have reversed their decision.

Just goes to show you how a few people jumping in for something they think is an injustice can turn a situation around!

Keep those squeaky wheels turning.
