Liberal activists try to get Jesus portrait removed from courthouse; residents revolt
Allen West ^ | 9/28/2015 | Ashley Edwardson

We’ve often reported here on the efforts of the Freedom From Religion Foundation (FRFF) to remove all vestiges of “religious” symbols in public places – and by religious, it’s really only the Christian religion they object to. Their actions extend to public schools, military facilities and public offices. Most recently, FFRFF has drawn a red line in the sand in Breathitt County, Kentucky. Jesus must go. For some time, the FRFF has been trying to get a picture of Jesus removed from the courthouse. There’s just one little problem. FRFF can’t find anyone in Breathitt County to act as their shill, I mean plaintiff. For those of you who aren’t sue happy, that means the attorneys for the FFRF can’t find anyone in the county of Breathitt who is willing to sign on the dotted line saying they’ve been traumatized and their quality of life ruined by the portrait of Jesus that has been hanging in the courthouse.

You can remove all the pictures, statues and monuments reflecting Jesus you want ... Jesus lives in the heart and as G_d, He is going nowhere.

Jesus portrait? I never know one existed. That portrait should fetch a pretty penny at auction. Or maybe just contact the Catholic Church in Rome. I am thinking lots o dinero.

That is correct. I think maybe they wouldn't object to having a Muzzie symbol in public, just not a Christian symbol. Thank you for posting this. 😂😇

Satan and his minions are terrified of Yeshuah.

Fair is fair. If they can have a picture of Jesus, they should also have one of Mohammed.

Oh, wait.

Not to nitpick, but shouldn’t The Freedom From Religion Foundation be the FFRF, not the FRFF?

I’d vote for him in a heartbeat. I’d send him money and go door to door 24-7, too. West is one of my heroes.

Amen. When I heard him say he would walk through hell with a can of gasoline strapped to his back for his men, I told myself, "THAT is the Man who should be President."

My dad, a WWII Army Infantryman, once stated that when his outfit came out of basic training and set out for N. Africa, to later land in Sicily & Italy & later Germany - they were fully prepared to CHARGE HELL WITH A BUCKET OF WATER. He also observed that queers generally did not make it through basic at that time. Not that anyone persecuted them; they just couldn’t physically cut it. - Oh, God, please give us a REAL man to lead this country & not a liar & whatever else.

They are terrified for sure. (James 2:19) They know that someday, their little schtick will come to a screeching halt. I wonder if Satan will try to resist as he is tossed into the lake of fire? I don't guess it matters much. He won't be able to stop the process.

This type of radical atheist group is not beyond selecting one of there members to this city for the sole purpose of establishing enough residency to become the “traumatized” plaintiff.

Satan’s minions need the living s*** beat out of them. On the ground, in the square, in front of God and everybody.

Sick of these jerks.

Come to think of it, it’s like Baptists
who vote a town dry ... and then move.

The atheists are never asked:

How do you “know” that a picture of Jesus is “religious” while a picture of Lincoln is not “religious”?

If government is required to “stay out of religion,” the answer is that they CANNOT KNOW.

The same applies to books. How do you “know” that the Bible that child A is reading is a “religious” book, and the Harry Potter novel that child B is reading is not “religious”?

You can’t.

I recall a movie where something like this happened and when the lawyers came to town to get the signature they were met with a blanket party.
