Totally fed up with it! People need to stop bitching about religious themed items at government buildings. The 10 commandments at the court in Georgia or wherever. Christmas themed items on government buildings... its all a bunch of crap to complain about this.





There's no place for angels atop Christmas trees, according to one California man who successfully lobbied for the removal of religious symbols at county buildings after spotting a yuletide decoration last week.

Stars and other religious emblems were ordered removed from Christmas trees in all government buildings in Sonoma County on Monday following a complaint by Irv Sutley, a disabled 65-year-old Marine veteran who said the symbols were "extremely offensive" and part of the "cult" of Christianity.

Italians. I've never seen an Italian Christmas tree that didn't have some sort of homemade angel on top.

MERRY CHRISTMAS!!!!

The people who do this are the same little pr!cks we all went to grade school with... you know the ones..

The pussy kids who would act out in class if they didn't feel they were getting enough attention. The same ones who couldn't wait to run tell the teacher when you were smoking a ciggie in the woods behind the playground. The kids who sucked the teachers' asses all day. The kids who gravitated towards hall monitor duty.

These kids grew up and had no meaning in their lives outside of getting in other people's business in order to create dissention. This is how they validate themselves, by causing other people to react to them. They are also usually meek little pissants who wouldn't dare tell you their opinions to your face, they would rather complain and have somebody else do their dirty work for them.

The problem is that one day, they won't have Xmas displays to complain about, and then they will turn to someting else. Maybe it will be something important to a different demographic. Maybe we will see how people like it when contact sports or something popular like that offends these people.

Yeah those meek little pissant Marine vet pussies who leave meaningless lives.

Dback is absolutely right. There's simply no need for this stuff on public buildings. We're not a theocracy.

I don't have a choice!

You think that any other country wants a 1 language speaking American???

How about these:

Or this one:

Why would anyone be offended by Spirograph?

the upside down cross AT FIRST was another Christian symbol, the cross of St. Peter, who was martyred by the Romans in 67 via upside down crucifixion per his request because he felt unworthy to suffer the same type of crucifixion as his Lord and master Jesus.

Pentagram? I thought that went back to the Greeks.

See, even Satanism has to steal and borrow. HA!!!

religious displays don't bother me at all. Of any religion.

They don't bother me either c-man, but unfortunately they bother other's and that's their right. So their is simply no need whatsoever for religious displays on public buildings.

Kwanzaa, now there is some good, old fashioned racism.

Does this Buddhist symbol offend anyone?

I know a federal facility that displays these images openly...got a problem with this???

Nice try, Colonel. Even at National Cemetaries, Wiccans have had to fight for the right to display their symbol on the Wiccan dead.

And that is apples and oranges, Colonel

So when are symbols not symbols???

As long as a government is not establishing a religion or solely supporting one religion...where is the issue?

I am insulted when someone wants to take my symbols down...so why is my "insult" less that your "insult" of having to look at them???

Why do you have greater rights than I do?
