The Christmas War Chapter 3: Defacing more then Nativity Scenes

PORTLAND, Oregon — Police in Portland say a maximum $1,000 reward has been offered for information leading to an arrest in the case of Italian marble religious statues damaged at a Catholic shrine and botanical garden. Sgt. Pete Simpson says three statues were damaged this week, with the heads removed. Police recovered one of the statue heads Friday after a passer-by called to say it was perched on a post at the west end of the 62-acre site popularly known as The Grotto. That head belonged to a statue of the Virgin Mary. Still missing are heads belonging to statues of St. Joseph and the infant Jesus. Simpson says the statues are more than 100 years old. Crime Stoppers is offering the reward. http://www.therepublic.com/view/story/ad3005a4ec1545dcae042da58952eeac/OR--Statues-Damaged

More information will come as this develops. For now, I like one person's comment on the bottom:

Because atheists are so tolerant. Those who shout loudest for tolerance are the least tolerant of all, don't you agree?

Believe it or not, I pointed out this case to an atheist, and his explanation for it ( Just to clarify, he was not involved in it in any way)was---and I am not making this answer up--: "It's good this happened because this shows people religion is just a fairy tale."

Giving an explanation that will not come across anyone's mind to justify the unjustifiable...how atheist of whoever did this.

No wonder atheists are such morons.

The Christmas War Chapter 2: Merry Christmas beats Happy Holidays

Take your "Happy Holidays" and shove it. Finally, there's proof that Americans prefer "Merry Christmas."

By a wide margin, 68 percent to 23 percent, Americans prefer stores with signs that say "Merry Christmas" during the Christmas holidays than the more generic and secular "Happy Holidays," according to a new Rasmussen Reports survey.

And in all 34 of the categories the accurate and prominent pollster looks at, "Merry Christmas" was the hands-down winner.

A few examples:

-- Among men, it's 69 percent for "Merry Christmas," compared to 22 percent for "Happy Holidays."

-- Women: 67 percent to 23 percent.

-- Whites: 69 percent to 20 percent.

-- Blacks: 56 percent to 40 percent.

-- Republicans: 86 percent to 8 percent.

-- Democrats: 51 percent to 41 percent. (Click here for the article)

So there you have it...proof once again that atheists, with their secular nonsense, are morons.

The Christmas War: Chapter 1: The Fight for the Nativity

Atheists, clearly agitated that Christians purportedly “stole” various holiday traditions from pagans, have come up with a solution: A potentially-offensive “natural nativity scene” that removes baby Jesus and replaces traditional Bible characters with some eyebrow-raising alternatives. The Freedom From Religion Foundation (FFRF) is behind the spectacle, which emerged this week as part of a diorama inside the Wisconsin state capitol.The angel that typically graces the nativity is replaced with an astronaut. And the wise-men – prominent figures in the Biblical account of Jesus’ birth — are replaced with evolutionary theorist Charles Darwin, scientist Albert Einstein, anarchist Emma Goldman and author Mark Twain. The Statue of Liberty is also placed in the alternative nativity to purportedly symbolize freedom. (for full article, click here.)

City authorities halted all Christmas displays after finding themselves in the crossfire between supporters of traditional Christmas celebrations and their secular opponents. Religious groups conceded "the atheists won" and compared the judge's ruling to Pontius Pilate's decision not to intervene and halt the crucifixion of Jesus Christ. (For full article, click here.)

I will say this right now: I do believe there is a war on Christmas, not just to ban it from the public eye but to ban it from our collective memory. This is no different than attempts by communists to ban Christmas in Russia and every nation where communism took hold (Side note: the vast majority of atheists do support communism, but I'm sure that's just a coincidence).

So my question to everyone is this: however did we get from a Bing Crosby style Christmas to a detestable pile of junk known as Black Friday rush? How did we get from Christmas to "Consume-Us?"

I assure you this did not happen overnight. Little things lead the way, as they often do: we neglected our families by putting ourselves first; we started forgetting our sacred traditions; we turned our children and by proxy future generations onto the notion freedom must be sacrificed so no one is offended. I can name several other reasons but it all boils down to this:

We have forgotten who we are and took what we had for granted.

Be honest: when was the last time you went to a card store and most of the cards had a religious element tied to Christmas? When was the last time a store clerk wished you Merry Christmas? When was the last time Christmas didn't become a drag or feel like a chore? How many can either name or recognize their own ethnicity's (blood family doesn't count) Christmas traditions? This is what the tide of atheism has done to us and it begins with accepting little lies that are part of the big lie.

In fact, let's take a look at them. Bear in mind all these statements are lies and they must be stopped right in their tracks:

Lie #1: The Nativity portrays a fictional account.

Well, that would be a shock to historians and scholars (two groups atheists don't care for whenever said scholars disagree with them). Virtually all scholars agree Jesus did walk the earth, and the Nativity story did happen as it is written.

Lie #2: The Nativity doesn't serve any real purpose.

Any check on the Nativity's background would prove this false. It was begun with Francis of Assisi to show people the lowly conditions and circumstances around Our Savior's birth. In other words, it was about showing the virtue of poverty, and you can't see that as a virtue if you're bombarded with messages to shop.

Lie #3: Most people are offended by seeing the Nativity scene.

That would be a shock to poll numbers. According to a 2005 poll (the last time this question was asked), 85% of people are not offended by seeing Nativity scenes on public property. While about 70% would like to see it placed with other non-Christian religious symbols, only 1% want all expressions banned.

Lie #4: Merry Christmas offends most people.

Again, poll numbers don't support this. According to the Pew Center, 60% of customers prefer to hear Merry Christmas over Happy Holidays.

Now, strange as it may seem, atheists were not the first ones to declare war on Christmas; the Puritans flat out banned it in both England when Oliver Cromwell ran the country and in the American colonies up until the 1800's. Now, why would atheists try something that Puritans (a heretical Christian group, mind you) already tried and failed?

Easy...atheists are morons.

It Wouldn't Surprise Me If They Come to Feed Us to Lions

I now have proof positive that this is indeed a wicked generation. I need only look at the people around my age who rooted for Obama--a man whose party caused this recession by interfering with the ways of God and man--a man whose own party booed God at their own convention---to know this. Sadly, I knew thanks to intrade that this would happen but hoped things would turn out different. I now know that's no longer possible. Even most Catholics I know, in clear defiance of the very bishops they are supposed to obey, have given up their liberty for safety, and we all know what Ben Franklin said about that (though it wouldn't surprise me if you don't, considering the way schools have been both secularized and watered down---funny how both happen at once). Rather than go into a long post about what happens next, Michael Voris of Church Militant TV (formally Real Catholic TV) has already done that for me:

They're Coming for us Again

I apologize for being away for so long, and I will explain why very soon. In the meantime, I defy anyone loyal to the Church to look at this and not shudder in fear: Madrid, Spain, Oct 19, 2012 / 10:40 am (CNA/EWTN News).- A group of young people shouting, “Where are the priests? We’re going to burn them at the stake,” attacked the Mary Help of Christians Salesian School in Merida, Spain, leaving one teacher wounded. According to the Salesian Press Office in Spain, the incident occurred at 1:20 p.m. local time on Oct. 18, when “some 100 young people entered the premises of the Mary Help of Christians Salesian School in Merida.” Nearly 1,000 K-12 students attend the school. “Custodial workers and some teachers at the school tried to stop the group, but 10 of them were able to gain entrance to the school building, shouting insults against the institution, pushing staff members who were in their way and attempting to disrupt the normal school day,” the Salesians said. Principal Marco Antonio Romero told the newspaper El Mundo that the young people’s intention was to pull down the crucifixes. “More public education and less crucifixes,” they shouted. The attackers carried flags from the Spanish Civil War, shouted insults at the teachers and professors and tried to steal several laptop computers from classrooms, the newspaper reported. The red, yellow and dark purple flags were the same ones used by the Republican faction, left-wing radicals and anarchists during Spain’s bloody, anti-clerical conflict that led to the deaths of thousands of priest, seminarians, religious and laypeople between 1936 and 1939. During the attack on the school, one teacher suffered minor wounds while trying to keep the young people from entering her classroom. The Salesians said steps will be taken to prevent any kind of such attacks in the future and that they will be filing a lawsuit against the assailants. “This kind of conduct cannot be allowed in a constitutional state.” http://www.catholicnewsagency.com/news/spanish-youths-attack-catholic-school-threaten-to-burn-priests-alive/?utm_source=feedburner&utm_medium=feed&utm_campaign=Feed%3A+catholicnewsagency%2Fdailynews+%28CNA+Daily+News%29&utm_term=daily+news Clearly, atheists are idiots and they are getting more violent.

Brainwashing Kids at a Younger Age

One thing needs to be addressed right away: does no one else find it a little hypocritical that atheists consider teaching religion to kids "brainwashing" yet this camp somehow doesn't count as brainwashing?

But getting more to the point: are we to believe that we should be taking these children seriously? Believe it or not, I think we should. Why? I can tell these children are looking for answers; even the Bible calls on us to "test all things." In this case, it's not so much they're atheists; rather it's their shutting themselves off at such a young age to any possibility that Christianity might very well have a better answer than atheism.

I applaud some of the kids who have a Bible at home and want to read it, but overall I still blame their parents and the adults at the camp for the negative attitudes these children have. According to Camp Quests own website, one of their missions is to "Demonstrate atheism and humanism as positive, family-friendly worldviews."

First of all, atheism is NOT family friendly. Second, most atheists don't even have their own families because third, they don't even bother marrying or having kids. (Another side note: notice in the video they mention the Flying Spaghetti Monster. Clearly, they don't care for any thought that disagrees with the camp.)

I must ask how lazy these parents are if they let their children believe whatever they want. What if the children want to believe their parents are walking piles of dung? Would they like that?

Here's what I would do with the kids: I would sit them down and explain to them what atheism has always entailed, which would include graphic photos of what atheists have brought to the world. I know that sounds a bit harsh, but these kids seem to not understand what they're asking for. I don't want to dismiss them all as idiots, but if they stay on this path, I might have no choice.

The Fatal Flaw in Atheist Morality

Disclosure: while I don't agree with Michael Voris all the time (I really don't agree with him concerning his view of the Knights of Columbus) I agree 100% with him on this.
Another proof that atheists are idiots.
