In fact, Christmastime displays featuring Baphomet, a Festivus pole and everything from soup to nuts to the nutty do perfectly represent our age’s spirit.
What does it say about a civilization when it feels compelled to place a satanic display next to baby Jesus at Christmastime? As a general question, you can answer that for yourself. But among other things, in our case it means too many Americans — including judges — wouldn’t know the Constitution from the Communist Manifesto.
The story here is that the baby Baphomet, a goat-like creature worshiped by satanists, has been placed alongside a Christmas tree, a Nativity and a menorah in Springfield, Illinois State Capitol Rotunda. This isn’t just a one-off, either, but reflects now common insanity. It also isn’t just limited to “liberal” states.
For example, at the Florida State Capitol in 2015, a display showing “an angel falling into flames with the message ‘Happy Holidays from the Satanic Temple’,[sic] had been erected...as a satire by an atheist group to counter a nativity scene which had already been taken down,” reported Fox News at the time.
What’s more, the display the previous year, Fox tells us, “included a Festivus pole in tribute to a holiday created on ‘Seinfeld’ that satirizes the commercialism of Christmas and a display by the Church of The Flying Spaghetti Monster, which mocks beliefs that a god created the universe and argues instead that the universe was created by a plate of pasta and meatballs.”

Shocking. Don’t they know that Hanukah was over a month ago;-?
What happens if people “join in the fun” of Ramadan by bring Jesus displays to the party? Would that be “hate speech”?
Of course. We want to be inclusive and stop marginalizing minority points of view./s
Irving Berlin was Jewish wrote Christmas carols. Could infidels write Ramadan carols. For example
1. Who put the Ram in the Ramadanadingdong?
2. When do we eat, dammit!
3. One whole freakin’ month of this!
4. There’s a new moon on the rise; or
5. 72 virgins when I pull this cord
Of course, mocking Christianity is “daring” and “inspired” and is the most protected speech of all. But mocking Islam is “hate” “a crime” and will be severely punished.
i agree with the author’s premise that, if i read this right, that any religious display is NOT required constitutionally.
it is the will of the people that desire these displays, all of them.
therefore, there is no dispute for dispkays on private land.

I don’t know if that’s the author’s central point but it should be.
Having freedom of speech doesn’t mean you get to essentially take away my freedom of speech by screaming while I am making a speech.
Well phrased, good comparison between the liberal hatred of Christianity, and their absolute protection of Islam.
“and a menorah”
I wonder why other religions have such a strong desire to co-opt Christian celebrations? Do Christians ever attempt to do the same to other religions? I don’t think so.
It’s sad that things have devolved so badly from what the Pilgrims wrote in the Mayflower Compact: “...for the Glory of God and advancement of the Christian Faith... “
Your five Carols are inspired.
I wonder if I’ll make money off them like Irving Berlin.
6. 99 Luft explosive balloons.
Maybe we should come up with lyrics;-?
These activists are turning celebrations of the birth of Christ into something resembling an Addams’ Family garage sale. They should have their own displays at wherever it is they meet.
