This should make Tiger happy — a lawbreaker. And I LIKE IT!

We might have a conservative leader here!

To: Arthur Wildfire! March
I do approve. More people should come in to tear down the atheist's insults until they simply have to shut the capitol building down completely.

"We atheists believe that the nativity scene is mocking humanity," by suggesting that those who do not believe in Jesus will go to hell, Barker said. "But notice that we are not defacing or stealing nativity scenes because we disagree with their speech."

BS! The sign they put up IS defacing the Christmas display. That is its purpose. That is the atheist's intent. Anyone with two working brain cells and a grain of honesty would say so.

This isn't a freedom of speech issue. The atheists have no day of their own so they have to piggyback on someone else's to get attention. That is abusive in nature.

What they are saying isn't a protest, which they would have a right to get a permit for and be subject to the regulations regarding protests, it is a slander, that they have enlisted the support of the Illinois government to perpetrate, placed directly in the Christmas display.

In what other situation are protests allowed to be a part of the object of protest? When a group protests a parade, for instance, they may be present on the parade route but they are not part of the parade. I think the Illinois government willfully set aside its own rule of law to assist in an intentional slander. Lawsuits, firings and impeachments are in order.

It is a clear demonstration of the impotence and irrelevancy of the atheist position though. Without religion they have no message at all. They have no specific days of the year to highlight because meaninglessness can't be meaningfully attached to a meaningful concept. That would only underscore 'absurdity' which is not a meaningless concept.

Citing the winter solstice is just another parasitical act. The winter solstice is an astronomical event and astronomy is the science of the study of the physicality of the universe. Astronomy no more denies the existence of God and the spiritual realm of things than it confirms it. Associating astronomy with atheism is another complete absurdity. It's like using a picture of a banana as the international symbol for nuclear energy.

If the atheists involved in this wanted to portray their position accurately they should celebrate on National Mental Health Day. Their logo should be something like a "cutter," those unfortunate people with OCD who compulsively cut themselves. Their motto should be "I don't believe me so why should I believe you?" to reflect their view that nothing matters, nothing exists and no one knows anything because there isn't anything.

But all of those things have some meaning so they would be absurdities too. Truly, if these activist atheists had any authenticity they would never say or do anything in support of their POV. Not to themselves, not to each other and certainly not to 'outsiders' because that is a direct contradiction of their position. To them it ought to be antithetical to even think of what their position is.
