There’s some drama over a Christian Nativity scene displayed on the lawn of a county courthouse in Indiana. The Freedom From Religion Foundation demanded the removal of the display on first amendment violation concerns and now locals are fighting. It’s the same fight every Christmas and I get tired of writing about it.
Now for the shock:
These Christmas fights bug me, honestly. I am a supporter of the FFRF and of some of these secular and atheist organizations, but sometimes I am shaking my head and wondering what they are thinking. You might get this scene removed but you do so much damage to our cause in the process. You don’t think these perceptions matter? Then what is this all about? These Christmas fights make us look like such assholes, that’s all I’m saying. They are not reciting prayers in a state building or anything on that level. A Nativity scene is barely religious, it’s like a cross necklace. End of rant.
What do you guys think?
There’s noticeably a bundle to learn about this. I assume you made sure nice factors in options also.
Hi there, I discovered your blog by means of Google at the same time as searching for a similar topic, your site came up, it seems great. I’ve bookmarked it in my google bookmarks.
“DEMANDING THEM BE REMOVED is the LEAST skillful way. DEMANDING that our MESSAGE BE INCLUDED is the SMARTEST. ”
The problem is that Bobby has been the victim of bad reporting. The FFRF is issuing these attacks precisely because after the nativity scenes were added, attempts of atheists and secular groups to be included failed.
Also, I think public image is less important than freedom of religion. Endorsement of a religion in front of a court house is not all right.
