Those who want a new twist on the traditional crèche can buy a 10-piece Hipster Nativity scene that features Joseph sporting a lumberjack beard taking a selfie; baby Jesus and a peace-flashing Mary, holding a Starbucks cup, are included. The three wise men show up on Segways holding Amazon boxes full of presents; there is also a cow draped in a sweater with a “100% Organic” seal on it.
This depiction is more trendy than it is offensive.
A gun-rights activist in Columbia, South Carolina has hijacked Christmas to make his case defending the Second Amendment. It is the work of the Palmetto State Armory. Billboards are being displayed in several South Carolina cities, all of which feature assault weapons or shotguns, cribbing from Christmas themes and songs. “Do you hear what I hear?” and “All I want for Christmas is you” are two examples.
Reality TV star Brandi Glanville posted a Facebook picture of herself squatting over baby Jesus, posing as if she were giving birth to him. It didn’t go over with the public, which is why she deleted it from her Facebook and Instagram accounts.
However, Glanville refused to apologize. Instead, before she deleted the photo, she said, “Why is everyone so butthurt? I guess cause I’m an Atheist this doesn’t bother me in the least bit. But seriously why should people need to ‘respect’ this religion while this religion is so disrespectful to everyone else? Get over yourselves. Seriously.” She then tweeted, “People need to chill the f*** out and take a joke.”
There is nothing trendy about this depiction, but it is egregiously offensive. It is also quite revealing. Glanville reasons that because she is an “Atheist” [notice she capitalizes her master status], it doesn’t bother her that Christians are offended. Why would it? After all, that was exactly her point.
Not all atheists, of course, are haters, but increasingly many are. Glanville’s stunt, and her response to critics, move her toward the top of the line.
Lol. You reposted same article?
“take a joke”
When they make jokes about izzlam I’ll start taking them seriously.
What do you call a mohammedan between two buildings?
Ali.
BTW, I love Palmetto State Armory.
When everybody else was gouging on 22LR and .223 after Newtown, PSA kept their prices reasonable. When they had stock, they let you buy in bulk, so the P&H wouldn’t jack up the price.
Palmetto State Armory offered a square deal, while everybody else, like Lucky Gunner or Cheaper Than Dirt was cashing in.
Some churches take themselves too seriously, IMHO. It’s the Man Upstairs who is looked to for running the show.
WWJD with that. Pretty sure whatever He did, it wouldn’t be to get His hair on fire. It’s not in a church so there isn’t any temple to cleanse either here. Jesus might say something very witty and gracious, like “well, I did say that some that believe in Me would be My mother.” Which could create an opening for a loving witness.
Just my Crazy Evangelical take.

Evangelical, maybe ~ Crazy, definitely!
Go pick on Moo-Hammed, you gutless pussies.
We followers of The Way (and our Jewish brothers) don’t give a damn about what you think.
“Kenya Moore, Vivica Fox and Brandi Glanville. Those three. The women are more vicious,” - Trump
Nope, no idea who she is.
I thought she might be someone who actually did something worthwhile in this life to deserve such attention.
No, just a vacuous "famous for being famous" useless clown.
Even has the ridiculous overdone plastic surgery that seems to be a requirement for reality show "stars".
Ugly outside, even uglier inside.
