Atheists behave in rude condescending manner to Religious people in general (and Christians in particular) so is it surprising for Religious people to act differently?
Yes we should all behave better but is it really that shocking?
The news is filled with so called Atheists trying to destroy our traditions. Christians are just letting off some steam.
I say "so called Atheists" because I can't imagine a real Atheist caring if they put up a nativity scene
"Christians are just letting off some steam." Sure...replace "atheists" with "Jews", or any other religious or ethnic group, and ask then if you'd defend it as you are.
While you're at it, imagine you're a reporter, say, from a news network doing research for a story about conservatives and Christmas. You find this thread.
Care to guess, what with some of the quotes, what'd be written? The President himself would disavow this site.
