It's not so much a war on Christmas as it is a war on Christ.

Brian Flemming, a former fundamentalist Christian who is now an atheist activist....

Hey ho, is he going to be in for a shock come that Judgment Day!

As I once said to an atheist ... If you're right I'll never know. If I'm right you sure will!

Have a Blessed Christmas!

[HowlinglyMind-BendingAbsurdity]

"the dangers that religious belief poses to society.

Good grief! God forbid that people would stay married to one another and not murder their own children! [SARCASM/IRONY ALERT]

[AZ_Cowboy]

What is wrong with those folks is no small thing.

[norraad]

Why ain't they mad at halloween?

[Rocky]

The "mythical figure Jesus Christ"? Boy, do they have a surprise waiting for them.

[BenLurkin]

Guess this group hasn't heard: "Be careful what you ask for".

[edh]

Sheesh! What went wrong in 300 people's lives that compels them to behave like this? I know most of the article is fictional, but why would you even *think* of doing this?!?!?!?

Some people are pretty sad...

[Zeroisanumber]

I've also been getting tired of the overheated complaints about Wal Mart greeters and Walgreen's cashiers refusing to scream "MERRY CHRISTMAS!!!" at everyone who walks in or out. Seems a bit extreme to actually go out and start canvassing Christmas events with Atheist literature though.

[mwyounce]

The Fox News Channel dubbed him "a young Oliver Stone."

I doubt that was meant as a compliment!

[westmichman]

THEY WILL BE JUDGED!

[kstewskis]

Boy, these "anti-Christs" are screaming louder and louder these days, aren't they?

If Jesus were so "mythical" then why are they going to such extreme lengths to say he is?

[mollynme]

The movie has been praised by critics but condemned by pro-theocracy groups such as James Dobson’s Focus on the Family.

Gee - do you suppose this reporter is just a wee bit prejudiced???

[vimto]

40 million with Aids.... It could all be avoided if people obeyed His commandment - Do not commit adultery... These people let people die and complain against God and Grinch Christmas.

The Fool in his heart says there is no God.

If we can get 20% of America to boycott the idiots doing this we'd win.

The homosexuals have 2-3% (dispite claims of 10), the liberals probably have less when it comes down to actual supporters. Corporations know this, and will change course when their gold comes into question.

[popdonnelly]

Christmas used to be a time of Good News, love, giving and sharing. Now it's become a time of political conflict caused by buttheads who can't keep their noses out of other people's business.

[xusafflyer]

If he is so mythical, why do Roman (aka non-Christian) historians mention him?

[thulldud]

I'm still trying to figure out what "jaggedly imaginative" is supposed to mean.
