If it were put up by Christians as a commentary about the commercialism of Christmas, I'd say "bravo" actually. But since it was put up by Atheists, what are they trying to say? I don't get it. It seems to me then they are just being nasty. <br /><br />I also believe in the freedom of speech and so, I think they have a right to that display BUT, like you said, Christians should also have a right to display a Creche. It was public property right? That is totally hypocritical. <br /><br />How would I handle it? Same way as you. Just ignore and then discuss with my kids if they saw it. Just openly and honesty, what I thought it meant, and since my kids are teens, I'm sure they'd have an opinion too. Actually a pretty great opportunity for discussion!Michael Annhttp://thinkinginmyheadma.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4529701964794268154.post-84618176709209768352011-12-13T09:10:23.253-08:002011-12-13T09:10:23.253-08:00It seems to me that the people who preach toleranc...It seems to me that the people who preach tolerance and open-mindedness seem to extend those gifts to all but Christians. Every faith is politically correct EXCEPT the ones that follow Christ. I have said it before and now again, Ignorance and hate doesn't have claim on any theological belief/political party or Ethneticity . Being closed minded isn't just a Christian's birthright. And Atheists don't have ownership on being open-minded. Being "Open-minded" does not mean, "I accept All as long as they believe as I do", as well as being "discerning" is not a definition for being "Close-minded". Bah humbug on hate that is universal.bethhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15269402131553521622noreply@blogger.com
