No one cared that there were Nativity Scenes where people who wanted to see them could come to see them and others would stay at home. And, if the public community is made up of more people that want a Nativity Scene why should one or two people dictate to the community their rights about things?
When do I get my rights in this wash pot of international people that makes up America? Why isn’t the ACLU pushing for Christian rights? They just keep pushing liberal rights down my throat and I’m expected to like it. If I want to say Merry Christmas I live in a country that I have that right. If they don’t want religious things decorating the land, let’s put it to a vote; yea, or nay whether we will have nativity scenes, religious phrases on public buildings, The Ten Commandments in our court rooms and such. I’ll abide by the outcome, but they won’t. They’ll cry foul and get lawyers involved; like a bunch of babies.
Come on, do you think a hard core atheist is going to be changed by anything that is displayed? If the atheist could be swayed that easily that would be one thing but I know from experience they are grounded in their belief. Their faith in what they believe is strong enough to overcome a few Christmas decorations; historical buildings with bible sayings, and the common “Merry Christmas” now and then along the way.
So until it’s cold enough for hell to freeze over, I guess I’ll be saying “Merry Christmas.”
