Why is stealing Baby Jesus from a nativity scene news these days?
Teenagers stole the Baby Jesus. It was NOT the work of anti-Christian crusaders or Satanists. I went to Catholic school and this has gone on since time immemorial. The news stations try to spin it as a hate crime and not simply stupid teenage pranks. What the hell is this country coming to? :eyes:

1. because "CHRISTMAS IS UNDER ASSAULT"
Doncha know? Those slimeball secularists and sneaky Jews are out to piss on Christmas

This is one of the new meme's of the week for the right.

I suspect whatever local news reporter/producer was working on that story was running with that stupid lie.

4. That is why I generally say "Happy Holidays"
it covers you for New Years AND there are many non-Christians in the Boston area. It is the polite thing to do, but Christians these days are into anti-Christian behavior.

5. Blue State-Connecticut, I believe
All I can think of is Xtians must hate the scene in the movie "Diner" where Kevin Bacon's character punches out the wise men and lays in the manger.

10. I went to a XMas party last Friday... we walked around the neighborhood
looking at lights and displays... and one house had a plastic angel in place of the Jesus figure in their nativity display. One of the women said that it had been stolen... two or three other women gasped and said things like "Oh that's the most horrible thing I've heard of!" "Oh that's just way over the top!" "How could anyone do such a dreadful thing?"

As I walked away from them I muttered that killing thousands of innocent Iraqis was a far worse crime than some teenager taking a plastic figure from a yard. These same women who were so appalled at the stolen hunk of plastic voted for Bush. Fools.

11. Christians are under attack...just ask 'em, they'll tell you...
They're all trying to get up on that cross right alongside Jesus.

17. That story about the woman in Kansas was awful
thankfully the baby is OK, but who does things like that?

18. It's not the theft that matters, it's the inevitable drop-kick through
the local Police Station's window that's newsworthy.

/got nothin
