PITMAN, N.J. (AP) — Police say someone tried to torch a billboard in New Jersey that was put up by atheists to protest a "Keep Christ in Christmas" banner.

The billboard proclaims "Keep Saturn in Saturnalia," a reference to an ancient celebration of the Roman god of agriculture. It's paid for by the Madison, Wis.-based Freedom from Religion Foundation.

Authorities say it was torched Tuesday night by two unidentified men who fled in a pickup truck.

The sign didn't burn, but its steel support beams were charred.

Wrong thing to do.
 
What ever happened to just dumping paint on the billboard? Burning it is so.... not smart.
 
Does anyone actualy look at billboards? I dont want to look like an ass, but when I drive a car my full attention is on the road and the other participants in traffic.
 
War on anti-Christmas!!!
 
As Jesus said, "If someone puts up a sign you disagree with, burn the mother****er down."

Apparently they do, because we've had huge numbers of them over here for a long period of time, and people pay to advertise on them.

If your only tool is a hammer then you must address all problems as if they were nails. ;)

That seems to be what a lot of Christians think. They whine that there's a "war on Christmas", then they declare war on any other holiday that happens at the same time. Hypocritical much?
