Atheists target Christmas, Hanukkah displays

    GOPUSA Staff Washington Times 6:55 am December 8, 20184 comments

For as long as anyone can remember, a Nativity scene has been displayed during the Christmas season in front of the public library in Emmaus, Pennsylvania, but not this year.

After Americans United for Separation of Church and State dangled the threat of a lawsuit, the borough agreed reluctantly to end the tradition this year. The scene has since found a new home on Main Street outside the Emmaus Moravian Church.

Not everyone was happy about it. Some argued that the display honored the borough’s distinctly Christian roots: Emmaus was founded by the Moravians and named after the biblical town where Jesus was seen by two of his disciplines after his crucifixion and resurrection.

I don't get it. Who is forcing them to go look at Christmas displays against their will?

Some people are offended by others' joy and happiness, it would seem.

Unfortunately,that seems to be more common than not. Seems like NOBODY alive today ever heard of "live and let live".

People need to stop and realize that happy people who are having a good time are a LOT less likely to stop what they are doing to thump your melon as you walk by than unhappy people you just pissed off.

Sometimes "live and let live" is your best self-defense strategy.
