Why is it that so many on the Left are scared of religion, specifically the Christian and Jewish faiths? Islam, the religion of violence, they have no problem with, but, put something out there which portrays Christ, and they go all wonky.
In Chicago, they are having issues with advertisements for the movie The Nativity Story
A public Christmas festival is no place for the Christmas story, the city says. Officials have asked organizers of a downtown Christmas festival, the German Christkindlmarket, to reconsider using a movie studio as a sponsor because it is worried ads for its film "The Nativity Story" might offend non-Christians.
In Greenfield, Pa (near Pittsburg) a nativity display was stolen.
In Santa Fe, a nativity scene was pinched, all recovered except for the Baby Jesus.
In Reynoldsburg, Ohio (near Columbus), the mayor has unilaterly decided no Nativity scene. He is worried that if you allow it, then you have to allow other religions. Personally, I say allow other religions to show their symbols. During Channukah, allow it on government property. Even Islam deserves to be allowed, because the country was founded on religious freedom. But have them at the appropriate times, obviously.
PETA pitched a fit over a living Nativity scene, but, woops! No live animals.
Raven points out Boston Mayor Thomas Menino doing away with The Enchanted Village.
We know that the average hard left cult member believes that Christianity is a horrible, violent religion.
The ACLU has issues with any religion on government property, or so they say. I fail to recall, mentally or through the 'Net, any case where the ACLU jumped in when a school had a Muslim or Kwanzza day.
The ACLU also fails to realize that it is not government sponsoring religion, but the People of the town, county, State, who are sponsoring it. In Liberal World, we are here to be ruled by government, not vice versa. A Nativity scene will drive them to threats and lawsuits.
The ACLU is also starting their anti-Christmas hysteria yet again, as Stop The ACLU points out.
The secular progressives, as Bill O'reilly calls them, would prefer that all religion is removed from Christmas. I'm surprised that they haven't tried to change the name. Notice, however, that they haven't tried to remove its designation as a national holiday, most likely because so many of them work for the government, and want their paid days off. What they do not like, is what Christmas is all about
Luke 2:8-14 “And there were in the same country shepherds abiding in the field, keeping watch over their flock by night.
And lo, the angel of the Lord came upon them, and the glory of the Lord shone round about them: and they were sore afraid.
And the angel said unto them, Fear not: for, behold, I bring you good tidings of great joy, which shall be to all people.
For unto you is born this day in the city of David a Saviour, which is Christ the Lord.
And this shall be a sign unto you; Ye shall find the babe wrapped in swaddling clothes, lying in a manger.
And suddenly there was with the angel a multitude of the heavenly host praising God, and saying,
Glory to God in the highest, and on earth peace, good will toward men.
Sister Toldjah discusses Christmas and What Is All About.
I know Teach is going to repost the Charlie Brown Christmas video on the 24th, however, you can watch it over at Youtube, if y'all want to.

Why are they scared of religion? Because it puts someone in power other than themselves. Seriously. The liberal Democrat views the ultimate supreme power as government. In their minds there is no higher power. If they allow religion to exist, then they will have to answer to someone else — and they simply cannot have that.
Great points, Ogre. Religion also interferes with their Cult of Liberalism.

Anyone that thinks they can ignore the bible and murder 50 million babies should be scared to have anything religious located where they can see it. Don’t stand too close to a dim on judgement day, you’ll get scorched by the flames.
The way the DUmmies are going, they might be the cause of judgement day, though different from the Biblical one.
