MERRY CHRISTMAS To Intolerant Atheist Pinheads Everywhere!

"At this season of the winter solstice, may reason prevail. There are no gods, no devils, no angels, no heaven or hell. There is only our natural world. Religion is but myth and superstition that hardens hearts and enslaves minds." This is the text of the "winter solstice display" in the Washington state capitol.


Don't get me wrong; I'm sure ALL atheists aren't "intolerant pinheads." I will opine, however, that supporters of the above statement being displayed on government property qualify for that designation. How did I get there? Let's see...if this group wanted to put up a sign with a similar message opposite a Ramadan display, I doubt that Gov. Gregoire would allow it. I don't know if they have a Ramadan display in Washington's state capitol, but they do elsewhere, and I doubt that idea would fly anywhere. Why? Because it's patently offensive.


The statement could have just celebrated the winter solstice for what it is, instead of denigrating religious beliefs. Increasing awareness of the history of human knowledge of the day, and the different effects it's had on humanity is a worthy endeavor. However, this statement doesn't "celebrate" the winter solstice at all. It is a blatant attack on people who believe in any God at all, even if they aren't Christian.


Gov. Christine Gregoire has shot herself in the foot politically, by allowing this. Now, some people are fighting for a "Festivus" display. I'm in favor of that, because it's not as offensive as the winter solstice statement, which speaks in broad strokes about "gods" and "devils." Festivus wisely steers clear of the "god" issue, poking fun at the "holiday ritual" aspect of this time of year, and commercialism, among other things (link). Will the Governor allow the "Festivus" display? Not likely.


I don't like to be combative at Christmas time (OK, maybe I do), but I'm glad that somebody is protesting these pinhead atheists, and the pinhead governor that allows hate speech to be displayed as a "celebration" of any holiday. So, in the Washington state "holiday" spirit, I want to say "Merry Christmas to intolerant atheist pinheads everywhere, and to the pinhead enablers of their hateful message."


PS: Remember that Jesus wanted to reach out to those that didn't have faith in God. In other words, people just like these atheists are most deserving of our forgiveness. "They know not what they do" comes to mind. In the true spirit of Christmas, I wish that all people will have love, and not hate in their hearts during this "winter solstice season." That would be a truly Merry Christmas!

I think you're kind of missing the point. If they allow any display of a religious nature, the floodgates open. They can't deny other displays without advancing one religion over others. However, while there isn't a word on the FFRF sign I disagree with, I still don't like it. I don't think it sends the right message. I haven't heard an atheist who actually likes it. But I do I think it makes sense for the FFRF given their endgame. They want a separation of church and state where government offices don't take a stance on personal beliefs. What better way to do it than to have people demanding certain displays be taken down. If one comes down, they all come down. The fighting will be over and we can all enjoy the holiday season however we choose.

I think you miss the point, my friend. Atheists have no religion, and as such, have no "right" to place a celebratory display, under the pretense of "freedom of religion."

If this were a display that celebrated the winter solstice, it would have legal standing as a religious celebratory display.

The text of the display only mentions the solstice in passing, and the body of the message is an attack on people who believe in God, and religion. That's not "celebrating" anything.

All this episode did was to show the idiocy of political correctness, and why giving in to radical secularists (ie; groups like the atheist group behind this display) makes bad policy.

It also exposes Gov. Gregoire as captive to the "far left" fringe, apparently.

I am saying that the Supreme Court is wrong, by classifying "atheism" as a religion. This is a shortcut by a liberal court, to grant atheists protections that they don't merit.

I would not call it giving in to secularists ..rather more like lets get our head out of our butt and follow the Constitution. As a gun owning, Bush voting conservative I still say religion is a sham and on this issue I side with the atheists.

We can disagree on this issue, but thanks for commenting. I have no problem with atheists, when they're not putting up anti-Christmas displays right next to Christmas displays on public property. You and I probably agree on many more things than we disagree about, Mike.

Thanks, again, for stopping by!

The Biden Record, and the Democrats Who Supported It, Pt. 4: How Biden Blew Up the Economy With Inflation

   The US economy is in chaos. This is not "spin," or "opinion," but a fact. Some people aren't feeling it as hard as others, because they were well-off before the inflation started. Unfortunately, the worst is yet to come, and it will affect those "well-off" people, to a greater degree than it does currently, as the recession sets in. It also will present a crisis for government, as the interest rates for the chronic borrowing that sustains all of their largesse double, triple, or even quadruple. How did we get here, after what was shaping up as a robust recovery from the pandemic response inspired recession?    When Pres. Biden was elected, almost every policy that had been in place was reversed. We've looked at the disatrous results of this on the southern border , but what's happened to our economy has impacted many more Americans. It started out on day one, when Biden killed the KeystoneXL pipeline, followed by freezing new federal leases ...

HATE FROM THE MOUTHS OF CHILDREN: AUTUM (AUTUMN?) ASHANTE AND THE GAEDE TWINS

Image
AUTUM ASHANTE LAMB AND LYNX GAEDE I hate to have to write this, but it has to be written. Beautiful children's minds are being corrupted with racial hatred, and their parents are profiting from it. The Gaede twins have a pop band, and Miss Ashante is a poetic prodigy. The parents promote their children's careers. These young girls are the true victims of racism, because they are predestined to continue this cycle of hate. Autum Ashante (-or is it spelled Autumn Ashante ?) is a 7-year old child, home-schooled by her parents (according to the NY POST -free registration required- see below for more on this). I heard it reported on MSNBC that they are members of the Nation of Islam, but I can't confirm that elsewhere. This young lady gave a recital of her poem, "White Nationalism Put U in Bondage." Some excerpts: "Black lands taken from your hands, by vampires with no remorse."..."They took the gold, the wisdom and all the storytellers. They took th...

The Biden Debacle Part II

  In my previous post, I wrote about Pres. Biden's disastrous policy at the border, as well as it's impact on the spread of COVID. I also noted his false promise of bipartisanship, and embrace of the far left agenda. This post will deal with some of that agenda, including it's impact on the economy, law enforcement, race relations, education and the military. They're all interconnected in no small way, and Pres. Biden is making a mess of them all. With the left wing ascendant in his own party, he has found it easier to go along with them, rather than work with Republicans, even when they propose policies that a majority of Democrats support. The economy was recovering before Biden assumed office, and yet he continues to push a long wish list of leftist policies in the name of "recovery." The extension of unemployment benefits is a good example of how they can backfire. While he denies that the extra payments were keeping people from returning to work, the sta...
