I prefer to laugh in your face than to just laugh at you though. I'm sorry that you're too much of a pussy to be laughed at though, that you had to go be a cry-baby about it.

Well clearly you've learned that there's a way to debate religion and yours was wrong, otherwise you would still be consistently laughing in everyone faces.

Like I said, I'm glad you can be civil.

I disagree, and you and your kind deserve no civility, as you are not civil yourselves.

Then why are you acting more civil than before?

Heh...well, as I said earlier...when religious people are OK with being forced to subsidize atheist symbolism on public property, maybe we atheists will learn to tolerate paying for religious symbolism on taxpayer-funded property. But we know the former ain't going to happen, judging by the fuss over the privately-funded ads on the sides of Forth Worth buses. 8)

Atheist symbolism?
I'm confused. Are you refering to Santa, Snowmen, Reindeer, Candy canes and multi-colored lights?

No no, didn't you know, killing in the name of Allah is the exact same as putting a nativity scene on public property. There are no differences.

It's entirely different, but I don't expect you to understand why as you have a singular mind when it comes to anything religious, and quite frankly I don't have the patience to explain something that you'll never understand.

But if you don't like nativity scenes in your country, why don't you sue the people putting them up? I mean surely it would be simple.

Or I guess you could complain about it on a forum for a game, I'm sure that gets your righteous message across too.

it's not different at all. No different than when they removed the 10 commandments from a (Georgia?) courthouse, it's public property, religion needs to gtfo.

Religion and government need to be separate, I'm sorry you don't and apparently won't ever understand that concept.

Thanks for proving my point.

And again:

"But if you don't like nativity scenes in your country, why don't you sue the people putting them up? I mean surely it would be simple."

when I see one in a public place I'll let you know, but for now most of the time I see them they are in their proper place, churches and private homes.

You proved no point though, government and religion need to be separate, that's the point.

Again you assume all situations are the same, but like I said, this doesn't surprise me.

It doesn't matter the situation when it comes to religion and government, they need to stay seperate AT ALL TIMES. However I proved your point wrong in even suggesting that they could rent the properties, but then it becomes at their cost, not mine. Don't request me to fund your nonsense.

I'm sorry. I find the distaste of militant atheists a non important issue. If the situation had real ramifications then I may think differently. Until then, feel free to petition against it.

lol the term "militant atheist" is fictitious, and like I said I'll care about your opinion on the matter when you have one to form, one who is in proverbial captivity doesn't understand the freedom.

The fact of the matter is that public property shouldn't be used for religious purposes, no matter the purpose.

I thought the entire point of atheism was to not have symbolism? Unless atheism is a belief?

Or if you come here and do it, be prepared to be in court. It's only a matter of time the Islamists in your country get rid of the jesus scenes all together though, be prepared to miss them.

Aren't athiests supposed to be proud of their "logical and rational" thinking and a legitimate line of reasoning.

How does hating on a Nativity scene fit in any part of that.. ? You can argue money but with so much more of our tax dollars going to a lot BIGGER and wasteful things, it becomes a rather lame justification..

quite simply it's the principle of the thing, that government should be secular.
