OCEAN AVENUE — A coalition of 13 churches will open a truncated version of their annual holiday display Sunday with an impassioned plea to City Hall to restore 11 pieces of prize real estate that were snatched up by a group of activist atheists.

An organization called Save Our Nativity Scenes, or SONS, requested that churches ring bells at 3 p.m. Dec. 11 to signal the start of a ceremony that will end in a flashlight vigil, urging city officials to reserve space specifically for the booths....

Any large earthquake faults run through Santa Monica? now would be a good time for it to fall into the sea.

This is just a start. The persecution is going to get much worse. These people have a real hate that won’t be satisfied with childish pranks.

On Ocean Ave? Doesn’t surprise me. Most of my acquaintances in the vicinity are hard-core Obama libtards. I mentioned once that Obama was an idiot and they were automatically frothing at the mouth like Mentos on coke..

Santa Monica is named for St. Monica (a statue of her is near the shore).

If they don’t want anything to do with Christianity, then why not just rename the place “Margaret Sangerville” while they’re at it?

truncated version

Perfect for truncated people with truncated souls living truncated lives, attending truncated churches.

Pretty easy solution here. You put the Nativity back up with the Virgin Mary prominently displayed and then tell the illegals and La Raza and LULAC that it’s racist to dismantle something so revered by the Hispanic community. The commies would have no choice but to back off.

Yep, the homosexual agenda can’t exist with that intolerant, bigoted Christian religion although it is protected by our 1st Amendment. This is very dangerous on many levels. Their religion/paganism/atheism is silencing the Judeo/Christian religions.

Just like the homosexual Nazi SS—brutal, nasty and no morals. They are fascists and will not tolerate opposing views.

My grandma's prediction is getting close. She died in 1970 and was 87. She always said CA was full of evil people, esp. Hollywood, and someday God would send a big one and it would fall off into the sea.

Sodom and Gomorrha in the 21st century .

Only think of the verses where God said people like these haters and bigots would be turned over to a reprobate mind and...Seems like many of them are there! They feel righteous in saying and doing ANYTHING to Christian or conservative believers, but have a knee jerk tantrum and foam at the mouth if the truth is uttered.

If the truncation or nontruncation depends on the whims of City Hall, it’s pretty precarious.

Well of course Jesus, especially Baby Jesus, Mary, Joseph were the sinners for these Atheists. And why on earth would three wise men pay homage and bring gifts to a baby? Is that rational? Deities being born in mangers sends out a wrong message. What if everybody started doing that? Not to mention the fact that it might offend a Hindu! We are all very sensitive. And we have Lawyers to prove it!

Welcome to Animal Farm California. Where prop dusters and Haters are more equal than others. And the wrong headed State thinks it is promoting unity and equality,and everything in the spirit of our America.Guess the local government never paid attention to the message of Animal Farm.

Make sure it's those black D-cell kind, and beat the local atheists to death with them.
