The war on Christmas reached new heights with this attack on a town’s nativity scene
December 7, 2018
18

Christmas is under attack every year by the radical Left.

They do everything they can to take Christ out of Christmas.

But now the war on Christmas has reached new heights with this attack on the Ten Commandments and a town’s nativity scene.

In Dover, Ohio, city officials say they were forced to remove a statue of the Ten Commandments and a nativity scene from the city property after receiving threats from the atheist group Freedom From Religion Foundation (FFRF).

FFRF has said the removal of the religious scene was in “defense of the First Amendment.”

Fox 8 Cleveland News writes:

DOVER, Ohio — Season’s greetings in Dover will look different this year after the mayor says the city was threatened with a lawsuit if they refused to move a statue of the Ten Commandments and a nativity display off city property.

“We have freedom of religion and they’re saying that we’re endorsing one religion,” said Dover Mayor Richard Homrighausen.

In a January letter, a Wisconsin based group — the Freedom from Religion Foundation– wrote the Dover mayor, stating an area resident reported about the displays including a large “Latin”cross.

The foundation stated the displays were a conflict, citing the separation between church and state. The mayor says the displays nearby city hall were moved to a nearby church property as a result this holiday season.

“Twenty-seven years been mayor, nothing like this has ever happened,” said the mayor. “Never imagined it would happen.”

The Freedom From Religion Foundation thinks they are “defending” the First Amendment.

But in reality they are attacking the very purpose of it, that anyone can exercise Freedom of religion.

No one can take that away as a constitutionally given right.

Unfortunately, this is not FFRF’s first rodeo with an attack on Christmas.

As we reported, they recently set up a “secular nativity scene” that depicts Benjamin Franklin, Thomas Jefferson, and George Washington watching the Bill of Rights in a manger.

In doing so they flat-out disrespect the purpose of Christmas in the birth of Jesus.

But they also show their true colors by demanding that religious displays be removed, and simultaneously demanding that they be allowed to set up their own atheistic displays.

This shows the hypocrisy of the radical left.

They want to completely disregard the Constitution unless they can twist it in their favor.

You're clearly confused. The First Article, incorrectly called the first amendment, says "Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof." It's hysterical and absurd to claim the action by FFRF in any way constrains anyone's practice of religion. Just as the Westboro Baptist Church was imposing their interpretation of religion on military families, so a creche is an imposition on Jews, Muslims, a half-dozen sects of Christianity and atheists. The right to hold beliefs is not license to run roughshod over the beliefs of others. The display at issue was
sanctioned by government. It is not the same as a display on private property.
Further, the free exercise of religion is moderated; would a sect practicing human sacrifice be condoned? How about bigamy, are the CLDS still concupiscent? Auto da fe for 'heretics?'
Calm down. The boogey man is not coming.

How in the world did America ever survive with our Judeo/Christian heritage and spirituality before those, such as yourself, fought so hard to destroy its public pronouncement? Answer: we were a much better nation and people than we are today! You always bring death with your rotting corpse; both death of soul and death of the body.


The good old days you cite were the toleration of violent forms of bigotry, such as lynching, the murders in Haymarket square, the abridgment of voting rights and a hundred other brutal injustices, most of them perpetrated by "good Christians."
Your religion is blind to injustice, intolerant and hollow.

If you set out to demonstrate the mindless ignorance of your lot, you succeeded.
I quoted the Constitution you cite in ignorance of its meaning. Lunatic fringe indeed.

Did you change my phrase to "booger man" because you were munching boogers? Or is it even more pathetic?

You're in way over your head junior.

You are apparently suffering under the delusion of adequacy.

Constitution of the United States

Article I, Section 1,

All legislative powers granted herein shall be vested in a Congress of the United States, which shall consist of a Senate and a House of Representatives.

Bill of Rights

Amendment I

Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof.

The Freedom From Religion Foundation charter ostensibly promotes the separation of church and state and educates the public on matters relating to atheism, agnosticism, and nontheism.

Educate the public, speeches, literature, radio programs, essay contests, and the like. OK, no problem so far, right?

Wrong! Ignore the free exercise of religion by the Hindus, Muslims, Buddhists, Wiccans, Satanists, and Atheists, leave those religions alone and go after the Christians (and Jews). Sue them, take them to court, tear down their crosses and crucifixes, ban their Bibles, condemn their holidays, mock their God and their faith in Him, bully America’s public schools and local authorities, force them to remove any semblance of anything Christian from the public sphere. Impose the FFRF religion of naturalism (atheism) on American culture.

FFRF was founded in 1978. Since then FFRF has filed thousands of lawsuits against Christians and Judeo-Christian institutions, social programs and initiatives. FFRF has sued at least three US presidents (National Prayer Breakfasts and Faith based initiatives), several state governors, the US military, county commissioners and boards of supervisors, universities, schools and school districts, faculty members, PTAs, athletic teams, athletes and cheerleaders, university chaplains, Christian churches, pastors, Jewish synagogues, rabbis, the National Park Service, WW2 Memorial, Holocaust Museum, 9/11 Memorial museum, IRS, our national motto, the Ark project and creation museum, book publishing companies, editors, authors, and lawyers. The list goes on.

In 1999, FFRF established the Emperor has no clothes award. This award is given in recognition of "plain speaking" on the shortcomings of religion by public figures. Recipients include Richard Dawkins, Christopher Hitchens, Jesse Ventura, George Carlin, Ted Turner, Janeane Garofalo, Cenk Uygur, Dan Savage, and others. Public figures exercising their 1st amendment right to free speech to condemn our 1st amendment right to freely practice religion. Hypocrisy on public display.

The FFRF's methods of educating the public is intimidation, coercion, condemnation and protests through our legal system and anti-religion propaganda. These assaults are a direct violation of the establishment clause in the 1st amendment.

Just proves the downward spiral into depravity this country has taken. And that includes the Presbyterians.
