Reply #205: BOTH Signs are EQUALLY INSULTING.

I think that Nativity scenes belong on church property, but are also fitting for any private property. If someone buys space on a Billboard with the "Jesus died..", then I have to accept that someone would buy space that says "There is NO God at all."

But to put "There is NO God" next to "Merry Christmas" is just plain meanspirited.

It's like putting "A calendar is an artificial concept made up to control us." next to "Happy New Year". Or "War is Dumb and Soldiers are Dumber!" next to "Happy Veterans Day".


I do not see why anyone would lash out against the POSITIVE aspects of someone's religion. "Merry Christmas" hurts no one. I think an equally NICE atheist response might be "Peace on Earth" or just "Have a Nice Day!". A vignette of the Nativity or of Santa might be equally sided with an image of Snow blanketing trees, i.e. something natural and observable.

I'm just plain shocked at the meanspiritedness of people.

FYI: I'm agnostic.
