AAAAAAaaaaaaahhhhhhhhh!

It's really easy to explain BG, it's called Freedom of Speech. If you don't like it, well tough shit. I'm not trying to be mean or anything, but people are allowed to say what they will, it's not hurting anybody, and it's not like someone is going to read that and go, "you know what? I'm not going to believe in God anymore."

Would you prefer to live in a place where people are not allowed to say such things?

Whilst I agree that freedom of speech means they can say what they want you have to admit it's blatently antagonistic.

That's to say nothing of the sheer hypocrisy on display here These humanists literally run to the law courts every time there's a suggestion that evolution actually be critiqued in the classroom and, heaven forbid that kids might be indoctrinated with the idea that the universe might be intelligently designed. 'Keep it out of the classroom!' they cry, 'religion has no place mixing with science, bla bla bla'.

Yet they themselves have no qualms at all about trying to sabatage Christianity's greatest annual celebration with their positive message of meaningless and nothing

Plus it sounds all very nice to say you can have 'goodness for goodness sake' but what does that actually mean?

Without an absolute frame of reference you cannot have a system of morality as what constitutes 'good' is entirely the subjective opinions of each individual.

As it says in the book of Judges where it describes Isreal's decline into moral decadence and spiritual emptiness 'Without a ruler to judge them, everybody did what was right in his own eyes'.

That basis for morality always leads to complete shitness and the eventual collapse of every civilisation that has gone before us.

The Western world is now just going the way of Ancient Rome, it won't last much longer.
Interestingly theres a frame of refrence available in the Bible, that your not following
Do unto others as you would have them do unto you
Your po'ed that people are co-opting a holiday the Christians themselves co-opted
And here you are kvetching about the fact that they would dare do that
Not very Christian
