Hatred of Christmas is alive and well

A wonderful group of happy, inclusive people have posted this sign on the state capitol grounds in Olympia, WA.

"During 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."

If faith bothers them so much, then why are they angry? Shouldnt they simply be happy in their smug disbelief?

Chuck Norris writes in his Human Events column, "If such words were written against any social minority group, protests would be ubiquitous. But anti-religious bigotry is in vogue these days. Still, there is absolutely no justification for these atheists' written revile."

We say "Merry Christmas." They say "Bah Humbug." You can have your own non-holiday. And we'll celebrate as we wish.

And is there really just a natural world? On the next moonless night, look deep into the darkness of space and honestly think .... what lies beyond? Where does it end?

"For since the creation of the world, God's invisible qualities -- his eternal power and divine nature -- have been clearly seen, being understood from what has been made, so that men are without excuse." -- Romans 1
