I believe a person I know took the skeleton Santa down, at least the first time. This friend was exercised that children might be frightened by the specter. It was not a wise thing to do, unfortuntely, but the friend’s heart was in the right place.
As might be supposed, the person who put the skeleton up originally and re-erected it later is one of those chronically discontented, giggling, snarky atheists with a seven-year-old level of intellectual and emotional maturity. He seems to think there’s something brave and naughty about what he did.
What my friend did was not particularly smart, however. Now the moron atheist has fresh ammunition for his cause, because the friend has made Christians look intolerant. Now the atheist has legal protection for his stupidity and there are to be additional police patrols to protect this thing. Of all the idiocy—!
Leesburg is a beautiful and historic eighteenth-century town filled with enchanting period houses and shops. Tourism is its biggest income producer. Obviously tourists don’t want to see things like this, so it costs the town money if they come to see a lovely Williamsburg style Christmas village and have to see atheists’ ugly and juvenile issues.
for example, the slogan “37 million Americans know a myth when they see one” over portraits of Jesus, Santa, and Satan.
Well a little over 210 Milion American Christians know the truth of Jesus. Someday the folks that came up with that slogan will also!
Did the last earthquake they had in Virginia release some mind altering gas?! That’s the ONLY explanation I can think of for the way some people in Virginia are acting.
A skeleton Santa Claus? Really people...
