Athens, Texas - Nativity Protest Rally 12/17/11 (Introduction) 1 of 6

[xGimpyx]

"As the government of the United States of America is not, in any sense, founded on the Christian Religion..." - Treaty of Tripoli

Sorry, folks. This is a secular nation, not a Christian one. If you want to believe in your God, that's fine. But, unless you can prove to the rest of the world that he exists, there are certain rules you need to abide by. Also, a Nativity Scene is technically a form of Idolatry.

GOD BLESS TEXAS !

[BozoTheFightePilotRR]

@Baudricourt Thanks man! :)

[JESUStheATHEIST1]

TOO STUPID FOR SCIENCE? TRY RELIGION!

[Armadillo3125]

If you listen to the TFFR on Fox News the representative said they would "find" a complainant if they went to court - they are spitting in the wind!

[Armadillo3125]

Support from Wisconsin - the TFFR does not speak for Wisconsin!!!

[GospelTruth37059]

[bigchrisgto]

Thank you for sharing this

[BozoTheFightePilotRR]

@bigchrisgto Your welcome! This video is for the hole world to see.

[Strictlypointless]

@BozoTheFightePilotRR But apparently not for the whole world to have an opinion, right? You You can force your religion on others but no one has the right to say anything that doesn't praise your arrogance or your churches views on forced religion. It's very Jesus-y of you and your fellow drones. Since you going to censor me anyways. Ridiculous!

[GospelTruth37059]

May God rule our government forever!!!!!!!!!

[BozoTheFightePilotRR]

@GospelTruth37059 Amen!!!! Church and State go perfectly together!

[BozoTheFightePilotRR]

@GospelTruth37059 Amen man!! :)

[willquestion]

@GospelTruth37059 Oh that's how you think it works. Convert or leave huh? Doesn't sound like you're for much freedom but instead what impose your beliefs on everyone. Freedom of speech, get over it.

[willquestion]

@iceskater787 If it'a Christian Nation then you better outlaw divorce, adultery, premartial sex, blaphemy, working on the Sabbath, etc etc. I guess Newt Gingrich would be one hell of a criminal with all the adultery and divorce.

[iceskater787]

yes WE are a CHRISTIAN Nation who supports Christians!

[willquestion]

This just shows Texas should secede.

[GospelTruth37059]

@willquestion Christians unite and speak up amen!!

[willquestion]

I'm for freedom of religion but having government back it up by putting on government property in this manner is unexceptable. Do you really want a Christian Nation? Where all laws are based on the Bible? Don't you realize that's what happened in the Middle East with Sharia Law? Let the government be neutral and let the people be free to believe and practice what they wish. Why not convert with knowledge and love instead of force via the government.

[Greathiway]

"Dont EVEN think about putting any negative comments!!"

No body is saying Christian cant express their opinions even If I think its negative, We as simply saying you can demand that its ONLY your free speech that should be respected and represented and you the government and public property to do so.

Do you understand thats what the 1st amendment means? Can we even have freedom of religion without freedom from religion?

[TEHTYMEKITTEH1]

KEEP CHRIST IN CHURCH WHERE THE MYTH BELONGS

[jasonp825]

@TEHTYMEKITTEH1 I think you should stay in the closet where you belong..

[TEHTYMEKITTEH1]

@jasonp825

Ok sure, just let your mom know where I am

[EZTechGuys]

@TEHTYMEKITTEH1 Is that what you really think of us? Wow. Where does this hatred for us come from? After all, we don't hate you. By the way, just for the record, there is no mention of a talking donkey in the Bible, or men living in fish.

[rzrback48]

@EZTechGuys You obviously don't know what you are saying that there is no mention of a talking donkey in the Bible. If you want to see the account of this for yourself read Numbers 22:22-33.

Now for the mention of a man being swallowed by a large fish go to the Bible and read

Jonah 1:17, Jonah 2:1 and Jonah 2:10. Have a good day.

[mikesomething]

@rzrback48 lmfao you never read the bible you atheist scum Numbers 22:28 = talking donkey

[BozoTheFightePilotRR]

@mikesomething Im with you! I beleive in the Bible.

[TEHTYMEKITTEH1]

I just love how Christians equate Christianity with Freedom. They dont have a CLUE to what the constitution says NOR do they care. Jesus was a myth

[EZTechGuys]

@TEHTYMEKITTEH1 Jesus was not a Myth. He is recorded even in the Koran, but only there as a prophet. The Romans and Jews recorded him.

[TEHTYMEKITTEH1]

@EZTechGuys

In the Koran ??? BWAHAHAHAHAH y'all are so blinded by stupidity its embarrassing

[TheVeritas101]

@TEHTYMEKITTEH1 : The historicity of Jesus Christ is not in dispute by anyone except, apparently, you. There are plenty of extra-Biblical records attesting to His existence. Please do some research: Tacitus, Flavius Josephus, the Talmud, and others. You can hate Him all you wish, stomp your feet and scream at Him, laugh at those of us who believe in Him as The Messiah...that's your prerogative. But saying that He is a myth shows you to be either disingenuous or ignorant of the facts.

[Greathiway]

@TheVeritas101 "Please do some research: Tacitus, Flavius Josephus, the Talmud, " No They all acknowledged that there was an early Christianity, Not that Jesus did or said what the bible stories claim, Not even the Synoptic gospels were or are claimed to be written by witnesses. Yes there may have existed one or a few eccentric rabbis named Yeshua during that time, So what. There was Likely a real Johnny apple seed and St nick too.

[TEHTYMEKITTEH1]

@TheVeritas101

extra-Biblical records attesting to His existence. Please do some research: Tacitus, Flavius Josephus,

BWAHAHAHAHAH ALL AFTER THE ELLEGED ACCOUNTS. THERE IS ZERO PROOF OF JESUS' EXISTENCE. YOU'VE BEEN LIED TO YOUR ENTIRE LIFE. THERE IS NO GOD, THERE IS NO HELL. THERE IS NO HEAVEN, YOU ARE WORM FOOD JUST LIKE THE REST OF US WHEN YOU DIE. GET USED TO THAT FACT

[ALEX00XX]

When you will burn in HELL you will be sorry then,

But gossip now while you still can! :)

[eilersm57]

@TheTruthisBackNow All of us Christians will pray for your soul! I have faith that God will touch your heart and you will be saved.

[jbmjsimpson]

@TheTruthisBackNow You can't take away our freedoms and this is Texas, so don't forget that we also have the right to bear arms, as guaranteed to us in the Bill of Rights, and we take advantage of that right. I have no problem sending anyone that tries to take away my rights to meet their maker. Call me names all you want, but one day you will bow down before my Lord and Savior and confess his name. For your sake, I hope it isn't too late.

[Terceira73]

WE ARE A CHRISTIAN NATION AND U WILL NOT WIN.WE AINT GONNA LET IT HAPPEN,THE MAJORITY (CHRISTIANS) ARE WAKING UP AND THAT SPELL DOOM FOR U !

[TEHTYMEKITTEH1]

@Terceira73

The term "Christian Nation" is UNAMERICAN. Thanks for being as bad as The Taliban

[TEHTYMEKITTEH1]

@Terceira73

YAY more threaths, BUT WAIT YOUR INVISIBLE SKY PIXIE HAS ALREADY THREATENED ME WITH ETERNAL FIRE. WHAT A LOVING DADDY

[BozoTheFightePilotRR]

@Terceira73 Thank you for defending us Christians!

[EZTechGuys]

@TheTruthisBackNow You really should do research before you post. We are and we were founded as a Christian Nation. Many of our first laws are founded on the 10 commandments. I challenge you to find the real reason why Christopher Columbus sailed and found the new world.

[EZTechGuys]

@EZTechGuys Sorry. Wrong post.

[jasonp825]

@TheTruthisBackNow Waiting patiently keyboard commando...I'd squash you like a zit...

[mfctnc]

Im a beleiver! Amen.

[ladytxpatriot]

Thank you for posting this in the land blessed by God. Our very Laws that govern the Great Land are based on Followers of the One True God. He demands we bring life, not take it. We are all children of Abraham, Issac and Jacob. What a shame so many do not believe He exists. He believes they exist because He created them. God bless us everyone!

[AtheistAlias]

Why do you want Christian imagery on public property so much? You do realize you could just move it to one of the many church lawns I'm sure there are in the area and there would be no problem.

[GospelTruth37059]

@AtheistAlias why do you hate that which is good? Ask yourself that question...
