Yes and the Klu Klux Klan and the Black Panthers. Either we have a firs amendment right or we don’t. I think these atheists are being jerks to do this at Christmas but whether or not I agree with them is not relevant. That is kind of the whole point of the first amendment. If Christians have a right to be protected from a sight that would offend them on public property then so do the atheists.
Personally I think this is one of he problems with public property. If this were a private space there would be no problem but as soon as it is public then the government has no right discriminating in favor of a religion.
Well if they atheists want to pray to nothingness, they should win a seat on city council. However since these losers travel around the country to get offended, that’s not possible. They simply want to destroy freedom of religion.
The “government” can not be used as a mechanism to force the people to listen to “your” speech or “my” speech, nor can they silence either of us.
That is a function reserved to the people, in a civil society.
Our society is quickly becoming uncivil, due to radical elements of our government acceding to the whims of a vocal radical minority, in defining civil society down to absurd deviant levels.
The correction will be bloody, as it has always been, as it is now in other places, and has always been, throughout human history.
Sigh.
And which religion are our laws derived from, and our countries principals based on? Certainly not the KKK or the atheists.
That was somewhat rhetorical, but I am really curious what the atheist plaque had on it? The founding principals of atheism? The ‘golden rule’ of atheism?
I’ve read a number of articles about this, none of which had any mention of what they said.
