Just as millions of Americans are preparing to commemorate Jesus birth, a secular activist group is once again taking aim at the traditional purpose for the holiday season, asking in a new digital billboard: Who needs Christ during Christmas?
American Atheists, an activist group known for posting its controversial messages on billboards across the nation, unveiled its latest anti-Christmas ad this week in New York Citys Times Square a 40′ by 40′ display that is sure to rile critics concerned over the so-called War on Christmas.
After asking Who needs Christ, the digital billboard shows a hand crossing out Jesus name with a marker and text that answers the curiosity with a one word answer Nobody. The next graphic tells viewers to Celebrate the true meaning of XMAS.
This true meaning, according to the billboard, includes charity, family, friends and food all secular elements that are associated with Christmas. It concludes with the more general Happy Holidays greeting.

A press release announcing the new billboard noted that its purpose is to declare that Christmas is better without Christ.
This season is a great time of year for a hundred reasons none of them having to do with religion, American Atheists President David Silverman said in the release. This year, start a new tradition: Dont go to church. You hate it, its boring; you probably only go because you feel guilty or obligated. Instead, spend more time with your family and friends or volunteer. There are better uses of your time and money.
American Atheists Public Relations Director Dave Muscato went on to say that he believes most individuals arent concerned with religious ties during the holiday season and that fun, family and friends are really what observers care about.

The 15-second ad is running three times every hour and will be shown in a separate location near New York Citys Penn Station starting next week.
We all love this time of year. Christianity has been trying to claim ownership of the season for hundreds of years, Silverman added. But the winter solstice came first and so did its traditions. The season belongs to everybody.
You have a much undeserved high opinion of yourself. But in reality you are nothing more than a psychotic little troll. And you are most certainly not worth any more of my time.
You were dismissed way before you ever rubbed those two brain cells, you have left, together to form a primal thought process to take a breath...
But like most arrogant, self-delusional north-easterners, you make it easy to determine your true worth to any community you manage to take root, that eventually needs to be weeded...
That might very well allow more beneficial species to propagate...
It also proves that people like you cannot stand not having the last word, in any dissagreement, and I am sure you’ll have to think long and hard, you might not even be able to stand it, until you manage to skip breathing, and peck your little appendages on that keyboard at the public library, some assinine response that proves my point, yet again...
Be careful now, you might blow a vein...But somehow, I know you just can’t stand it...
A lot of us are just pickled-tink watching that you fit right into the known data about your type of psychosis...
Seek help immediately, its a good thing you are not allowed to, or mightily encouraged by your rulers, to not bear arms of any type...I whole heartedly agree with their opinion of you...
pfffttt
Spoken like a true pussycat...

Thanks xzins.

“But as the days of Noah were, so also will be the coming of the Son of Man be. For as in the days before the flood, they were eating and drinking, marrying and giving in marriage, until the day that Noah entered the ark, and did not know until the flood came and took them all away, so also will the coming of the Son of Man be” (Matthew 24:37-39).
Its interesting how the Atheist activist does not even realize that they fight on the very front line of THE Spiritual battle of good and evil.
