Woman arrested after damaging Satanic display at Florida Capitol[W:649]

Re: Woman arrested after damaging Satanic display at Florida Capitol

Grant is just being politically correct guys. He doesn't want the Christian masses to be offended, so he'll look for every excuse to justify why it's wrong to offend the majority.
 
Re: Woman arrested after damaging Satanic display at Florida Capitol

Now that hurt!

Actually I try to spare people's feelings by calling them 'leftist' rather than 'goofy'. It's good to be tolerant.

So I should be tolerant by calling you a "leftist" instead of "goofy?"

Whatever you say, leftist.

Yeah, that's it. I'm being politically correct.

When is the Satanists time?

Well considering that theistic Satanism is just turning Christianity upside down, it's at the same time as the Christians.
 
Re: Woman arrested after damaging Satanic display at Florida Capitol

Would you be saying that if the Christian display "suffered the consequences?"
No, of course not. Christianity is normative, satanism is not. If you want to assert your constitutional right to display stupid ****, then don't come crying to me when it is defaced.

Lol, what?

They seem to be doing quite well as Christmas is fading and Satanism is growing. Fewer homes decorated now, less Christmas music.

What do we have to look forward to with the Satanists?

So it's only OK to deface the "non-normal?"

What version of reality do you live in? I can't get away from Christmas music. We have a radio station here that went to an "all-Christmas music" format for the holidays. I think there's one of those in most cities.

It's never "okay" to deface anything. But if you're gonna display stupid ****, don't be surprised. It would be the same thing if a NAMBLA holiday display were defaced. Would you be utterly shocked? :roll:

In what alternate universe is "Christmas fading"? That is utter nonsense.
 
Re: Woman arrested after damaging Satanic display at Florida Capitol

Then tolerate those who want to put up displays celebrating their special time of the year. All religions seem to have them and there is no reason why we can't respect Hanukkah, Ramadan, Diwali, and so on. Why only harass Christians?
I'm not anti-Christmas. I've celebrated it every year of my life -- in my own home, or in the homes of friends and family. And in the stores I go to. And on the television shows I watch. And in practically every aspect of our culture.

I've even seen Trans Siberian Orchestra for the last three years.

I'm not anti-Christmas. But I am a firm believer in the separation of church and state.

I can enjoy watching laser beam and fireball enhanced guitar solos of classic Christmas tunes and still not feel hypocritical about wanting the government to stay out of the religion business.

And there it is. Freedom for me, but not for thee.

It's true, satanism is taking over. They had a fancy cotton and construction paper display in Florida, and everything.
 
Re: Woman arrested after damaging Satanic display at Florida Capitol

I'll be curious to see if these Satanists show up at Ramadan.


Are there many public displays in your town during Ramadan?

There is still less than there was. It once began in November and the annual Santa Claus parade, now defunct in all or most places, was often held in late November or early December. Good to see that radio still lives.

You agree on the decorations then.

I didn't deface the fancy satan display.

No, but you seem fine with it, since it's not "normative."

I fail to see what NAMBLA has to do with this at all.

I don't. I see the same amount as I did growing up.

I already said I wasn't fine with it. I just said I wasn't surprised. Were you?

I see just as many lights as ever. Santa Claus still comes at the end of the Thanksgiving parade.

Totally agree.

My husband and I are atheists. We've been playing Christmas music since the day after Thanksgiving (and every year we buy more music). We have a tree. We give each other and friends presents. We have a particular dinner we make on Christmas day.

So don't know why some people think there is a war on Christmas.

Having said that, if a community allows displays on public property, it has to allow them for all groups. It can't pick and choose who gets to be there. And defacing one of those displays is vandalism.
 
Re: Woman arrested after damaging Satanic display at Florida Capitol

Yeah, that's it. I'm being politically correct.

What would you call not wanting to offend the religious masses? ;)
