There are 1000's of religions. They would need several city blocks to put up pictures that represent ALL the myths.

Did you have a particular myth you wanted to see on that display?

It's easy to mock followers of a religion who don't even attempt to follow the teachings of their religion.

Eg Evangelical "Christian" zealots who go around judging and condemning everyone else and spreading hate.

I don't understand you're logic.

Poseidon, Santa and whatever that horned thing in the business suit is.... "have to do with Christianity"? Who knew?

So you don't like religion and Christmas but do you have to mock it?

Not to mention what's wrong with a city that has to enclose something in a cage?

They should have included EVERY religion, to include ISLAM.. Oh wait, that's right, fatwa requiring their deaths may be declared on them....

And? They're allowed to do whatever they want as long as it doesn't infringe upon the lives or rights of others. I've seen/heard quite a few offensive diatribes from people of religious nature.

Besides, the cage is there to keep someone from defacing or stealing that, I figure that would be pretty obvious.

Just so YOU know, I happen to be answering someone else's question.

Yes, you did. You said they were trying to destroy Christmas.

Love it, when people who are really disturbed tell others to calm down.

I'm telling you to calm down because you seemed to be agitated by the thought of this group destroying Christmas.

The message is that this group thinks your religion is a myth. Just the same as you think they are incorrect in their beliefs.

BTW I am far from disturbed. Where did you pull that one out of?
