What does a rented billboard, which Christians have too, have to do with the Christmas displays on public property?

If you can't handle dissenting views on rented billboards, you should probably never leave your house.

Oh yeah, the displays in Santa Monica that were vandalized one said happy holidays, and one was a gnome. Both were put up by atheists.

Exactly 1 month to go!

Happy Holidays!

*sigh* I see you are incapable of recognizing the insatiable need of atheists to spew hatred towards Christians. Here is the sign that I recall causing a lot of upset from the state of Washington's Christmas display at its State House:



You want to wish people Happy Solstice? Be my guest! There's nothing malicious in that. But the above signage is hateful.

Stating facts is hateful?
How about this, if words written in paper hurt you DON'T READ THEM.
No one is harming you in any way.

Facts? Really? You can prove God doesn't exist? You can prove there is no heaven? Have at it, pal. Why the compulsion to insult the intelligence of people of faith? Hmmm? This was the SIGN set up next to the Nativity. Yes, calling a person's religious beliefs "myth" is hateful. It's supposed to be a season of cheer and good will. There's nothing celebratory or uplifting about the atheist's message!

I can't imagine what sort of psychological trauma you must have suffered as a child during Christmastime, which has led you to be such a hater of believers as an adult.

There are no FACTS about faith.

You cannot prove God exists just like you cannot prove God doesn't exist.

That is what faith is all about: a belief that is not based on proof

Hateful, yes and misguided: just because some think there is no God doesn't make it so, anymore than thinking there is makes it fact. Neither has been completely proven, it is a matter of believing and faith.

Someone saying there is no God is no more hateful than someone saying there is a God. Both are opinions.
