(CNN) -- An atheist sign criticizing Christianity that was erected alongside a Nativity scene was taken from the Legislative Building in Olympia, Washington, on Friday and later found in a ditch.

An employee from country radio station KMPS-FM in Seattle told CNN the sign was dropped off at the station by someone who found it in a ditch.

I normally don’t condone destruction of property, but I’m fed up and think it’s about time that we start giving the libs the same type of treatment that they give us.

Screw ‘em!

-——Gaylor said a note would be attached saying, “Thou shalt not steal.”

I love how they do that. It was like the whole Jesus as a community organizer thing. These people don’t believe in the validity of our religion, but they still try to use it against you as though it is absolute truth. It just proves that their own philosophy doesn’t hold water.

She’s stealing commandments from Christianity anyway, because as she said, it isn’t her religion.

Governor Christine Gregoire told the Olympian newspaper..."I happen to be a Christian"

Guess anyone can call themselves a Christian nowadays....

Truly disturbing.

People who put up signs to harrass nativity scenes aren’t atheists, at least not in the philosophical sense. They are high-handed, holier-than-thou, self-styled moralists who know what’s best for everyone and want to control everyone’s life.

Ayn Rand was an atheist. A true atheist. She wouldn’t lower herself to desecrating the religious expression of others.

There is no civilized word to describe what those creeps are, who have nothing better to do with their time than follow religious people around and buzz them, like big black flies buzzing your head on a sunny day. They are scum. They are lower than scum. I wish I could post the true words they deserve to be called... but I prefer to keep my post civilized.

That's a play straight out of Rules for Radicals.

An atheist saying, “Thou shalt not steal”? According to whom, I wonder?

All they did was put up a sign. They didn’t steal or destroy the nativity scene. However, they had their display destroyed, most likely by self-proclaimed Christians. I’d say those people are the creeps.

And a call to the contact number appearing on the ad turned up nothing: NOBODY’s home. In fact, the number is NON-EXISTENT.

LOL.

These verses come to mind:
“The wicked shall be turned into hell, and all the nations that forget God.” (Ps 9:17)
“The fool hath said in his heart, There is no God.....” (Ps 14:1a)
“The fool hath said in his heart, There is no God.....” (Ps 53:1a)
“Blessed is the nation whose God is the LORD;......(Ps 33:12)
Ladies and Gentlemen, let us pray for our nation!

This whole sign story is enjoyable, and when O’Reilly reports on it and drives the story you can tell he’s having the time of his life. A big rally tomorrow for Christians, I’ll look forward to any first-hand freeper reports.

Damn atheists-— Talk about the Grinch who stole Christmas

Though I really think 90% of atheists are content with denying God without making a big public deal about it

I’m used to it. I have a habit of being a trouble-maker...it’s just my nature. I could go to threads on gun rights or taxes and be another voice in the echo chamber, or I can defend religious freedom, which to me is a fundamental conservative value, against the rise of fundamentalism within the conservatism movement.

A new release from the atheist organization that put up the sign:

“Thank God we’ve found it!”
