Unless those thousands are prepared to physically defend the nativity scene, then being there will be useless.
Frankly, I'm not convinced it can stop there. I think it may call for those thousands to march to the oppressor's house and beat the snot out of him/her. Then proceed to the offices of the ACLU or FFRF or whatever group is fronting this nonsense and trash the place. Send the message that we will not be parties to our own demise.
Of course, that would be breaking the law and we can't do that ...
Well, it’s at least a start. But I agree I’d prefer to see 5000 protesters with loaded rifles in their hands... and ready to use them.
In this particular case the Texas AG has promised to defend the town if the atheist group files a lawsuit.
Frankly I hope they do. It will waste their money. I’d love to see it go all the way to the Supreme court.
There is no such thing as freedom from religion without denying the right of free expression to every other American.
What will these people demand next? Freedom from religion would mean churches must remove steeples and crosses, arched windows and signs. Taken to extreme it would mean no Christmas lights or trees, anywhere.
Freedom from religion would mean I cannot wear a cross, or read a Bible in public.
The right to freedom from religion does not exist.
