A group of people (with obviously nothing better to do) who go by the name of, the "Freedom From Religion Foundation" was allowed to put up a large anti religion sign on the same platform with the nativity display, in the Washington Capitol Building.

So, you might ask, (scratching your head) "What's the Point?" I'd love to tell you that there is no point, but there actually "is" a point. The President of the Freedom From Religion Foundation had stated during a short television interview that this sign "is" an attack on religion.

The sign reads:

“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.”

I know I tend to be irritating sometimes, but I tend to find humor in almost everything. These people seriously need a hobby! I mean, that's their claim to fame? Their achieved goal in life? That sign?? I picture this guy walking into meetings, whipping out a badge and saying: (in a deep resonating voice) "CEASE AND DESIST ALL RELIGIOUS ACTIVITY! - I'M THE PRESIDENT OF THE FFRF!"

Okay! Back to the article. (sorry)

So, aside from attacking Christians, there really was no point and it shouldn't have been allowed. If they had some sort of symbol related to their religion, (or lack of) I could understand allowing that to be displayed. But all this is, is a sign containing and promoting hate speech directed against people who do not agree with their point of view.

The sign could not have been put up without the permission of Governor Gregoire. Does this woman have something against Christians? Christmas is a documented national holiday and is officially recognized by the United States Congress. The nativity is directly related to this holiday, the atheist sign is "not".

If this group wishes to petition Washington to have their own holiday (to commemorate nothing) that's okay with me. Whatever day they might choose for such a holiday, might be a good time to put their displays up at the Capitol Building. Some good choices might be: April Fools Day, Friday the 13th or Black Friday.

I think these would be most acceptable choices to them, since they believe they have no future beyond this short time here on earth. Their sign or Logo could be a giant "Zero" or an "X" or maybe a big "Blank Poster!"

They can celebrate all they want, on their own day! And if theres food or beer, I might attend myself.

The bottom line is, don't get all upset about it. Christians tend to get all shook up when a few ignorant people do rude things to us. Pity them sure, but pray for them. Some day, about a few seconds after death, they will wake up in a world that is nothing like this one.

Wherever they live or wherever they go, will not be a choice they will make anymore, and it will last forever. These people are obviously just looking for their 15 minutes of fame, and they got it. They got on national TV, the O'reilly Factor etc..

Do they really care if we celebrate Christmas? I truly doubt it. If they truly believe there is nothing but non existence after death, what's their point? Why should they care what we believe, and exactly what would they be trying to convert us to?

Don't get all worked up, just take it for what it is. A pathetic few people desperate for attention. (and they got some) The proof of this is, if they actually believed their own rhetoric, they wouldn't be wasting their time doing these ridiculous things. Life is too short. (especially according to their belief)

The only problem here is, now that someone fed their ego a little, they'll try harder to get even "more" attention.
