O thank God as a Christian I am sick of feeling alone when they call Christians terrorists! Atheist are always demanding they are the only ones who have rights anyway! Isn't that what the terrorist do? Just sayin???
Virginia official labels atheists as 'fanatical terrorists'
Over the years, the courthouse decorated its facility by hanging a Skeleton Santa Claus from a cross and featuring paintings that show the manger birth of the Flying Spaghetti Monster as well as the traditional birth of Jesus. The lawn this year also contained a Christmas tree and a menorah. Such decorations have been displayed at the courthouse every year since 2009, when the Loudon County Board of Supervisors lifted a ban on courthouse holiday displays, allowing any religious group to contribute decorations.
But this year, the board banned unattended displays by outside groups and instead put up its own decorations. This winter the American Atheists also planned to contribute attended displays, but AA leader Rick Wingrove believes his group was denied the same amount of access to the grounds.
“The board made it really onerous for everyone but religious groups to put up displays. We will not have the exposure as in the past,” he told the Times.
Wingrove also told NBC4 that the Board of Supervisors seemed to favor Christian groups and made it more difficult for other groups to access the lawn.
Angered by the perceived bias against them, the atheist group emphasized the importance of separating church and state. The atheist reaction triggered a hostile response from Reid, who is now under scrutiny for calling them “fanatic terrorists.”
“None of the religious organizations in the county have had any problem with what we’re doing,” he told the Times. “It’s strictly this group of terrorists. They’re fanatics who basically want to stamp out religion in all public life and property.”
Reid also accused the Atheists of destroying holidays.
“[This is] another example of putting fingers in the eyes of shoppers and businesses and trying to make a mockery of Christmas holidays – that’s what they’re really about. They’re hell bent on trying to destroy people’s holidays,” he said.
Reid’s offensive remarks were quickly condemned by other Loudon County officials, prompting an apology from the Leesburg supervisor.
“We have to be very sensitive here in Leesburg to tossing around works like ‘terrorism’ when there are neighbors who have actually held themselves against the terrorists in the line of battle,” Loudon County Democratic Committee Chair Evan Macbeth told NBC4.
French officials condemn a shocking message on a three-year-old’s shirt
‘My name is Jihad and I am a bomb’
A French woman is slated to face charges of “apologie de crime,” which can be translated as advocating violence, after sending her 3-year-old son, Jihad, to kindergarten dressed in a T-shirt bearing the inscriptions “I am a bomb” on the front and “Jihad. Born September 11″ on the back.
The incident took place on September 25 in the town of Sorgues, in the district of Avignon, southern France. The divorced woman’s brother, who allegedly supplied the offensive shirt, was set to face charges together with his sister. According to the French daily Le Figaro, the two were remanded in custody awaiting their trial, which was set for December 19.
According to reports, when the kindergarten teacher noticed the message on the clothing, she gave the child another shirt to put atop the offensive garment, and notified the authorities.
Local officials confirmed the child’s identity and date of birth.
According to the Avignon prosecutor Bernard Marchal, the mother “was very surprised by the reaction” to the incident, which she called a “provocation,” and said she did not expect the case would “assume such proportions.” He noted that neither the child’s mother nor his uncle were identified as radical Islamists.
Sorgues mayor Thierry Lagneau condemned the incident as “incitement to hatred and terrorism.”
According to JTA, there has been a 45 percent increase in anti-Semitic attacks in France in 2012 compared to last year.
‘War on Jesus’? U.S. Colleges Have ‘Outright Disregard & Disdain for Jesus Christ,’ Report Claims
The College Fix, a conservative web site devoted to higher education news, has published a report that will surely capture the faithful’s attention. According to the outlet’s recent survey of religious education classes across America, colleges and universities show “an outright disregard and disdain for Jesus Christ.”
In total, 316 courses at 12 universities were examined. Analysis shows what The College Fix claims is evidence that U.S. professors regularly snub Jesus and gloss over his messaging. Rather than focusing on Christ, the web site contends that educators focus on offering electives that tackle “more obscure matters.” Here’s how an article introducing the report frames these issues:
The survey looked at class titles and descriptions categorized either directly under religious studies, or courses heavy with religious topics but filed under departments such as history, the humanities, political science or philosophy. [...]Some of the electives are too difficult to even classify, such as: emergence, from biology to religion; suffering and transformation; anthropology of body and pain; religious dimensions in human experience; sport and spirituality; and a history of apocalyptic thought and movements.
HOW MUCH MORE SOCIALIST CAN THIS BE? Atheist are worse than winey terrible two TODDLERS! Grow up you bunch of complainers!
Gov’t Gives PA Restaurant a Choice: Give 10% Sunday Church Bulletin Discount to Atheists Too or Discontinue it Entirely!
To continue offering its discount, Prudhomme’s Lost Cajun Kitchen must now honor literature that comes from any religious institution, The Christian Post reports. This includes secular bulletins from the Freedom From Religion Foundation, an atheist activist non-profit, and faith-based documents pertaining to Judaism, Islam and other religions on Sundays.
A one-line statement from the state human relations commission summarized these ideals: ”Respondent will continue to give a discount for any bulletin from any group oriented around the subject of religious faith, including publications from the Freedom From Religion Foundation, as long as they maintain the Sunday discount program.”
The ruling gave victory to Wolff, who argued that he was being discriminated against since he does not attend church. Shannon Powers, a spokesperson for PHRC, told the York Daily Record that the restaurant merely needs to remove the word “church” from the discount to comply with the new mandate.
“This simple language change was our recommendation from the beginning and was refused by Prudhomme’s,” Powers said.
The government representative made it clear, though, that the restaurant lost its battle and that Wolff’s religious complaint was upheld.
School Forces Child to Remove ‘God’ From Veteran’s Day Poem: ‘Separation of Church & State’
THE WICKED WORLD IS REMOVING GOD FROM EVERYTHING
West Marion Elementary School in Marion, North Carolina, is at the center of controversy after educators ordered a six-year-old girl to remove the word “God” from a poem she was slated to deliver at a Veteran’s Day event. The first grader intended to use the opportunity to honor her two grandfathers who fought during the Vietnam War.
The contentious line that led the school to take action was, “He prayed to God for peace, he prayed to God for strength” — clearly a reference to her relatives’ personal, wartime invocations. After a parent allegedly heard of the inclusion of a higher power, he or she complained. The school, apparently working diligently to balance church versus state concerns, then decided to tell the child to remove the line.
“The discussion [about the poem] occurred between myself, the principal and the assistant principal at West Marion,” Superintendent Gerri Martin told McDowell News. “We wanted to make sure we were upholding the school district’s responsibility of separation of church and state from the Establishment Clause.”
After consulting and considering the law, the school decided that allowing the line would constitute an endorsement of “one single religion over another.” Some in the Marion community, though, are concerned that the young girl’s First Amendment rights were violated when she was told that she could not utter God’s name during the Nov. 8 event.
One district employee, Chris Greene, spoke out at a Board of Education meeting this week, explaining that the school was guilty of “hushing the voice of a six-year-old girl.” He contended that she was not trying to pray or coerce others to engage in a conversation with God, but that the first grader was simply explaining what her grandfathers had done in their time of need.
“She was told that she was not allowed to say the word God during this program,” Greene said. “Being a six year old, and not knowing her rights, she did what she was told.”
But not everyone agrees, as Greene does, that an apology to the young girl is warranted. In an interview with McDowell News, Ken Paulson, president and chief executive of the First Amendment Center in Washington, D.C., said that the school was within its rights to remove “God” from the poem.
“Courts have consistently held up the rights for students to express themselves unless their speech is disruptive to the school,” Paulson maintains. “The First Amendment protects all Americans. She had every right to mention God, [but] that dynamic changed when they asked her to read it at an assembly.”
Because the event was planned and not spontaneous, Paulson said that the school could have potentially run into church versus state trouble. The audience was “captive” in that it had nowhere to go if members did not want to hear “God” be mentioned. In the end, he agreed with the school’s assessment and actions (so far, the girl’s family has been silent about the matter).
