December 6, 201114 yr What the heck has our country become when we allow this. Thank GOD a woman with kids had some sense to tear it down. For all of you who back this crap as constitutionally correctness, I blame you. http://radio.foxnews.com/toddstarnes/top-stories/county-displays-crucified-santa-on-courthouse-lawn.html
December 6, 201114 yr Author Freedom of speech. I struggle to see what the issue was here. Exactly what I am talking about, thanks for helping ruin our values and culture over free speech like that. Maybe someone should string you up and claim free speech.
December 6, 201114 yr ^Are you trying to say I should be crucified? :lol: What values or culture were ruined? They were making a point that the true meaning of Christmas has been forgotten, and that it's become more about "Santa Claus" than Jesus Christ. They were basically saying that with the way Christmas has been commericalized it might as well have been Santa who was crucified.
December 6, 201114 yr If this guy wanted to put that up in his own yard, then I'd have to say he has the right to do so. On the courthouse lawn? I am surprised the leaders approved it.
December 6, 201114 yr I definitely get the point that the "artist" was trying to create, and I agree with it to an extent. However, when atheists are the first to come to your defense, are you really helping the Christian cause?
December 6, 201114 yr If this guy wanted to put that up in his own yard, then I'd have to say he has the right to do so. On the courthouse lawn? I am surprised the leaders approved it. I would imagine that under the current policies they had in place, they didn't have a choice unless they wanted some sort of lawsuit on their hands.
December 6, 201114 yr ^Yeah, they are in a Catch 22, but I am still surprised they allowed that particular display.
December 6, 201114 yr Exactly what I am talking about, thanks for helping ruin our values and culture over free speech like that. Maybe someone should string you up and claim free speech. THAT certainly promotes our values and culture. Nice Christian spirit there ref.
December 6, 201114 yr Author THAT certainly promotes our values and culture. Nice Christian spirit there ref. Your welcome, I apparently do not promote your cultures or values. If so then this would not have been allowed in the first place. Sure who dont know Santa comes first to most over the true meaning. I am sure church attendance will be down on Christmas day too since it is on a Sunday. I hope I am able to be at church that day. I wonder if the so called leaders would allow a crucifixon of Jesus to be on the lawn, I say not.
December 6, 201114 yr This guy calls himself an artist? My 4-year old could construct a better looking display than this piece of crap. I think I'll stack up three bags of garbage in my yard and call it art.
December 6, 201114 yr THAT certainly promotes our values and culture. Nice Christian spirit there ref. It's been called tolerance before.

Check that, it might look pretty familiar to him.
December 6, 201114 yr It's been called tolerance before. I guess so. In Spain in 1500 it might have passed for it.
