Fine but what would happen if a similar display depicting Mohammad and showing crimes against humanity in the name of Islam was put up by the church. The church would be a pile of ashes in the morning.

“United”

Nothing like a church supporting an atheistic Marxist organization.

So now it’s ok for Jews in blackface to play black characters on TV?

So did it have a bunch of thugs burning down the church? That would be an accurate description of BLM.

That’s not a Nativity. It’s more a Halloween-Showboat type advertisment to rationalize their riots.
The Holy Family takes a distant back seat to propaganda and crude stage props.

How cute. A BLM Nativity scene. Does it have a manger, a stable, a barn, and a burning Target store?

Another possibility.

That’s as find as depicting them as white. Historical accuracy would have them roughly as Lebonese.

and paid homage to the Black Lives Matter movement.


Without details, that’s right out.

Our next door neighbor put out a Nativity display with their outdoor decorations a few weeks ago, and within 48 hours their front yard trees had been TP'ed. Pretty sure it was white liberals in action.

It's what we have to look forward to for our complacency and decency in dealing with the left.

Did the Methodists have their vote to split this year? Many people don’t know that Methodists don’t own their church property they bought with congregants’ own money. One Methodist church in our area decided to split because of the denomination’s social beliefs and practices and they lost their 100 year old building that was built and also lavishly remodeled by the church members. Follow your denomination’s use of your tithes and offerings and see where much of it ends up. . .. you might be surprised.

The church is known for adding a twist to their nativity scenes each December, highlighting a hot-button issue in American history.

Last year, they showed images of children in cages, reflecting on the plight of immigrants and asylum seekers whose families were separated at the U.S.-Mexico border.

Th is not a church, it’s a bunch of marxists.

Much of it due to wimpy pastors and church leaders . . . many that shouldn't have held their positions in the first place.

I can’t understand why some people won’t invest in a couple of cheap game cams. Then they’d know exactly who to put on the list.

Marx hated religion.

He thought it was the realm of stupid people.

He was right btw - look at how many people use their religion to justify their Marxism.

Which message are they trying to send. Black Lives Matter or God so loved the world that he gave His only begotten son so that whoever believes in Him shall not perish but have everlasting life.

And here I thought church and state were to be separate.

I thought it was the last Christmas or two, where there was a Nativity somewhere out there in California, where it was about illegals coming into the US as well.

Some liberal churches are nothing more than The Religion of Liberalism, in a building with a cross.
