NEW YORK, Dec. 17 /Christian Newswire/ -- As the following examples indicate, the war on Christmas is not over:

* After one person complained about a nativity scene in Shawnee State Park in Ohio, the state parks' chief ordered a ban on crèches from all parks. It took the governor to overturn this decision.

* In Wesley Chapel, Florida, Jesus was banned from a holiday display.

* The mayor of Cranston, Rhode Island censored all religious displays.

* Government officials in Tehama County, California tried to ban Santa in office displays but had to reverse their decision after a protest.

* A nativity scene in Olean, New York was removed from the City Hall lawn after Wiccans placed the pentacle alongside it.

* A crèche was banned from Triangle Park in Manistique, Michigan.

* After a Catholic sued and won demanding a crèche alongside a menorah in Briarcliff Manor, New York, local officials banned both the Christian and Jewish symbols.

* The Dickens Christmas Festival in Saginaw, Michigan was renamed the Dickens Holiday Festival so the city could advertise in local schools. The schools ban the words "Santa," "Christmas" and "Nativity."

* Atheists Alliance International put up a tree on the lawn of Chester County Courthouse outside Philadelphia with copies of the covers of books saying, "Why I Am Not a Christian," etc.

* Americans United for Separation of Church and State is trying to block the display of a crèche in Shelby County, Alabama.

* Freedom from Religion Foundation is trying to stop the display of nativity scenes in three Wisconsin towns.

Catholic League president Bill Donohue commented as follows: "The cultural fascists are still at it, but the good news is that more and more Americans are fighting back."

Oh, the irony!

they are holding Christmas services, I'll sit up and take notice. But so far the fake outrage show is extremely boring.

I have friends who previously have made Donohue's "Anti-Catholic" list.

:patriot:

I'm dreading the day when Charles Dickens' "A Christmas Carol" will be banned. Heck, maybe it already is in some schools.

It sounds to me like all religious displays are being banned, not just Christian ones. That's not a "War on Christmas", that's equality.




It doesn't say who removed the nativity scene, but this is a typical reaction. Once any other faith group tries to move in on the scene chaos ensues. Only the majority group can have their beliefs represented...or else.

born on Dec. 25th. Why should I be subjected to scenes of this fairy tale on public property?

Or so I've been told. :shrug:

See her latest hour, "Straight to Hell".

Yes I believe he did..

They forgot something on their list:

* Only one single Jew has been beaten for having the nerve to say Happy Chanuaka, what kind of a war is that. Fellow Catholics, We Need Casualties! Get out there and fight!

He's obsessed!

I think I just met one of his followers at the grocery. :P

An older gentleman, possibly from Maine (accent) and he asked me if we
always have it this cold here and this much ice and I politely answered.
Then when he paid he turned to me and I said goodbye and happy Holidays
and he turned back rather quickly and in a loud voice with a glare said;
"Merry CHRISTmas!" And then appeared to walk off in a huff. My work is done. ;)

Or, a better agent to cover the false advertising.

God, I love these imprecise and subconscious phrases they use that describe their own actions perfectly, like Bush's "They'll never stop trying to find ways to harm Americans, and neither will we."
