New Hampshire capital includes Satanic symbol as part of their holiday display ‘to avoid litigation’

[pknopp]

Still no explanation about how someone walking down the street past a religious display is forcing anyone to worship anything?

Squirrels.

 

[rightwinger]

Satanism isn't a religion, it's a fuck you to Christianity

People can worship as they please

Same applies to a Satanic display or Witchcraft

You don’t like it, don’t worship

 

[el midgetron]

Yes it does…

It establishes…We are a Christian community

Why does your religious expression need to be imposed on others? You are free to worship as you choose, if you want a display then advocate for your own. Be respectful of other’s celebration.

No question. But that doesn't make it a religion and certainly doesn't give you the right to put up a display at Christmas an explicit fuck you to CHristians.

It doesn’t.

But if you demand public property be available for your religious displays, you have to be willing to have those available to other religions

Great, so you admit that showing a religious display is not an 'establishment' of religion, so therefore the 'establishment' clause cannot be used to keep religious displays from being shown. Good job!

 

[el midgetron]

It doesn’t.

The only people “demanding” anything are the people who want to interfere and disrupt someone else’s celebration. Satanism’s major holidays are not in December. People should be free to religious expression and people should be respectful and tolerant of other’s religious expression.

If you want religious “equality” that’s the way to get it. Not by supporting intolerance and disruption of religious expression.

 

[el midgetron]

You’re not special.

Neither are you. You don’t get to impose your atheism upon my freedom of religion. Your sky daddy is kind of arrogant and self absorbed.

Nobody is tearing down the Christian displays, they tore down the Satanic display.

That is where your intolerance lies

 

[Road Runner]

Ha! Your stupid religion isn’t special. Either allow them all or none of them.

I'm not sure if you've heard but Christmas is a Christian holiday.

What holiday was the Satanic display celebrating?

 

[el midgetron]

Would it be intolerant to go into a black community and say the Nword? Or would it be intolerant to push back on someone for doing that?

If you aren’t going to be respectful to other people, then crying “victimhood” is disingenuous.

There is only one reason why satanists want to impose on Christian tradition and it isn’t about “equality” or being tolerant.

 

[Jarlaxle]

No. That is democracy. If the people of Hamtramck MI want to decorate their town with Islamic representations, but the federal government tells them they must also celebrate Hanukkah, that is not religious freedom. In democracy the majority rules, not the minority.

Ok, so you and a bunch of your faggy atheist bros establish a town. Do you accept the federal government mandating you have to display the baby Jesus? Why? Why are you such a cuck? Does your community mean anything to you?

Just say it. Say you want the federal government to be your daddy. You can take that dictate, all of it.

“The people” is not just some random person. In a democracy “the people” is the majority. That is what the phrase “the people” comes from and means. You trying to suggest some emo-pedo protesting Christianity is “the people” is ridiculous.

You should not be permitted to vote unless and until you complete a college-level course in civics with at least a 3.5 GPA. The United States is not a DEMOCRACY!

Couple days after Winter Soltice which some celebrate.

 

[Frankenstein]

They’re all stupid. Your stupid religion doesn’t deserve special treatment.

Just remember that when you bow and confess that Jesus is Lord

You are being disrespectful of other religions that have as much legal standing as your own.

Christians blame Jews for crucifying Jesus
Should Jews be banned from celebrating Chanukah so close to achristmas?

 

[Jarlaxle]

Perhaps they did. That's why John Adams said this.
“Our constitution was made only for a moral and religious people. It is wholly inadequate to the government of any other.”

"In every country and in every age, the priest has been hostile to liberty. He is always in alliance with the despot, abetting his abuses in return for protection to his own."

"Christianity neither is, nor ever was a part of the common law."

"The day will come when the mystical generation of Jesus, by the Supreme Being as his father, in the womb of a virgin, will be classed with the fable of the generation of Minerva in the brain of Jupiter."

"Religious institutions that use government power in support of themselves and force their views on persons of other faiths, or of no faith, undermine all our civil rights. Moreover, state support of an established religion tends to make the clergy unresponsive to their own people, and leads to corruption within religion itself. Erecting the 'wall of separation between church and state,' therefore, is absolutely essential in a free society."

"Erecting the 'wall of separation between church and state'... is absolutely essential in a free society."

"The legitimate powers of government extend to such acts only as are injurious to others. But it does me no injury for my neighbor to say there are twenty gods, or no god. It neither picks my pocket nor breaks my leg."

-Thomas Jefferson

Yeah, no kidding. It’s a Republic. So, how does voting work in a republic?
