Protestors Dismantle Pentagram Erected Next to Nativity Scene (FL)
Cathoiklc Herald ^ | Decmeber 21, 2016 | AP

A 300-pound metal sculpture of a satanic pentagram, erected as an atheist protest to a public park’s Nativity scene, was severely damaged on Tuesday when it was pulled to the ground by protestors.

Atheist Preston Smith’s 10-foot tall sculpture lay broken in Sanborn Square at noon. Tire tracks led from the twisted metal to the street.

It appeared protestors had attached a chain from a vehicle to the sculpture and yanked it down, dragging it several feet...

The sculpture sits about 20 feet from a traditional Nativity scene of Mary, Joseph and the baby Jesus, and is backed by a banner from an atheist group reading “Keep Saturn in Saturnalias...”

Why is placing a devil worship display next to a Manger Scene not a hate crime?

Just today, I noticed a resurgence of “Merry Christmas” at “The Jewel” here in Chicagoland ( That’s a grocery chain. ) I don’t know if this would be considered daring for the staff, but I thought perhaps it was a little tentative. Of course I responded unhesitantly with a sincere, “Merry Christmas” in return. Say no more, say no more.

I can't imagine this cheap piece of trash weighing 300 pounds, let alone 50 pounds.

I was at Jewel myself today (in Buffalo Grove). Unfortunately, the only one saying Merry Christmas was the Salvation Army collector outside the exit.

The Salvation Army guys, I guess there were at least two of them, seemed to waffle, or probe perhaps, by saying both. Anyway, I answered with “Merry Christmas”, and I had a policy of giving a dollar each time I went in, maybe twice a week.

I was saving up for “the bomb”, which I figured to be a twenty at the last chance, which I figured might be today ( or yesterday 12/21 ) so I pulled it out and rolled it up ahead of time, to fit in that slot, and when I put it in, the guy said, “Thank you very much!” as though he recognized it was a little extra. And I suppose he did, even though it was rolled up tight. Who would be a better judge than him?

The atheists are revealing themselves to be antiChristian bigots. Just making it clear they are a HATE group.
