It always amazes me that the image of the most famous infant in history, whose birth sparked a way of life for billions and who preached nothing but love and compassion, is so offensive to the self-hating, militant atheists.

At this time of year, I go out of my way to wish everyone a Merry Christmas. I’ve had people say that they are offended, and I have politely told them that they should go talk to a man while laying on a couch and pop a few pills.

Reading Jesus’ own words offers me some comfort because He knew the scorn that we would face.

Let’s take the religion out of it, and just contemplate the Holiday that was devoted to the man.

Christmas was declared a federal holiday on June 26, 1870 to commemorate the birth of Jesus Christ. We have a Lincoln and Washington Birthday and MLK birthday. The nativity scene depicts Jesus’ birth.

I fail to see the controversy here and esp I fail to understand why the Nativity scene was taken down.
