ATHEISTS FLAG "CRUSH A CRECHE!" POSTER |
http://catholicleague.org/06press_releases/quarter%204/061109_crush_creche.htm
Catholic League president Bill Donohue commented today on an anti-Christmas
poster that is being flagged by an atheist website:
"Type 'atheism' in the Yahoo search engine and the first website to appear
is atheism.about.com. On the home page, click on the 'Image Gallery' on the
left and then click on 'War on Christmas Propaganda Posters.' Or simply type
'Christmas' in the search engine of the home page of atheism.about.com and
then go to 'Christmas News'; then click on 'War on Christmas Propaganda.'
Either way, you will find a World War II poster, originally titled 'Feet
First!', that shows a soldier's boots with a picture of an armed soldier
behind him: the poster has been altered to show the soldier stepping on a
crèche with the inscription, 'CRUSH A CRECHE!: Keep America free from a
religious Christmas this year. It's up to you!' Click here to access the
poster immediately.
"The website belongs to Austin Cline, regional director for the Council for
Secular Humanism. The Ivy League graduate says that the altered poster is
'an appropriate image to depict how Christian Nationalists seem to perceive
the alleged threats to their treasured religious symbols.' The term
'Christian Nationalists' is a pejorative used by his atheist colleague,
Michelle Goldberg, who recently wrote a book on the alleged takeover of
America by Christian activists.
"Cline may want to pass this off as satire, but any fair-minded person who
looks around his site will understand that his brand of atheism is
explicitly anti-Christian. The altered poster is, in fact, a true
characterization of the anti-Christian animus at work. Moreover, it offers a
glimpse into the mindset of radical secularists who seek to neuter
Christmas. The snide remark about their 'treasured' religious symbols is
revealing, as is the slightly modified inscription that appears below the
poster: 'Crush a Creche & Keep Christmas Free from Christianity.'
"That's the goal of radical secularists-they want to gut Christmas of its
religious meaning. It doesn't get any clearer than this."

Catholic religious bigots cannot tolerate the freedom to criticize
their cult. They must attack any dissent of their cult.

I guess if you have no issue you just have to make one up.

Apparently both you and O'Donahue are incapable of reading for content.
What part of "the altered poster is 'an appropriate image to depict how
Christian Nationalists seem to perceive the alleged threats to their
treasured religious symbols'" went over your heads? Cline isn't
advocating such a position; he's pointing out that idiots like
O'Donahue (and you) think that atheists do.
