The latest disgusting gesture by atheists in their so-called War on Christmas is coming to Indiana. An atheist organization, Freedom From Religion Foundation (FFRF), has announced plans to defile the 50-year-old holiday nativity scene in Franklin County, Indiana because they claim it violates their rights!
Allying themselves with the Satanic Temple and the ACLU of Indiana, the FFRF filed two lawsuits against the county that claim their religious rights would be violated if they weren’t allowed to make their own nativity scene.
Franklin County was forced by the court system to give in, and now the FFRF plan is to erect their own structure next to the nativity scene as a public protest.
“The Freedom From Religion Foundation will display a Bill of Rights ‘nativity’ and a winter solstice banner this year in Franklin County to counter a Nativity scene that has stood alone on public property for 50 years,” the organization said in a press release.
In an effort to keep their traditional nativity scene, the county was forced to open a public forum for displays, under threat of lawsuit from the atheist organization.
Now the FFRF are going to use this ordinance regulating the use of its lawn by community residents and organizations to put up their intentionally blasphemous display right next to the traditional Christian holiday scene that is meant to remind others of Christ’s birth as the reason for the holiday season.
This comes just months after the Satanic Temple announced their plans in place a statue of Satan at the Arkansas State House in protest of a Ten Commandments structure there, which could be just months away from being installed. The Satanic Temple unveiled the completed statue in July.
Earlier this week, The Horn also reported on the forced removal of the Ten Commandments from the Oklahoma State Capitol.
I am a Christian and I do not believe all atheists are like this.
Most are nice people and just want to live their lives the way they choose.
I think this is just a small faction that wants to stir up controversy and attention to themselves.
How can an atheist be offended if they do not believe anyway?
Whatever happens it is only a few plaster statues that serves as a reminder to Christians of the joy of Christmas and will not affect my belief in God and Jesus Christ.
I feel no hatred towards my atheist brothers and sisters and will pray for them.
I think these people are not atheists at all. They have allied themselves with the Satanic Temple, whose members believe that God created Satan, i.e., no God, no Satan. If they truly are atheists, then they should shun the Satanists to the same extent that they shun Christians. Maybe they just fail to see the irony of it all.
Dee,
It was just a few gays, lesbians and transvestites that started their movement also….Now see what they’ve accomplished so far, and they’re obviously not done yet…Have a blessed day!
Good people in the neighborhood, grab your guns & guard the Nativity scene. If these a-holes try to destroy it, shoot their azzes.
It sounds like these groups are anti-Christian rather than being pro-freedom. Regardless of what these groups say this is nothing more than the same old Satanic persecution which greeted Christ when He walked on earth as a human and which tortured His followers. Satan tried unsuccessfully to get rid of Jesus. Satan tried to kill the church and failed. The efforts of these satanic groups are likely to strengthen the true church.
Has anyone noticed the atheists, satanists and FFRF don’t go after Mohammed, Buddha, or Confucius? I guess that don’t see any need of going after people who are worshipping false gods. This says more about the truth of Christianity than anything else.
We are all God’s creation, albeit given free will but… I for one believe that everything that is happening in the world has been written. the opposite from God is working overtime to destroy families, nations and the whole world. Prayers and prayers are the most effective action that can be undertaken by any and all! Prayer warriors all over the world, lets pray, pray, and pray for anything and everything, big or small, in Jesus name! Pray for Salvation, Mercy and Strength! GOD BLESS US ALL and the whole WORLD, AMEN!
Folks, when you strip away the specifics of this situation, the issue is really very simple: separation of church and state. You know, like in the Constitution? Any display on public property or using public funds that represents just one religion constitutes governmental support of that religion over all other religions and over no religion. Not good. Not constitutional. Freedom of religion means the right to believe and worship as you wish. It does not mean the right to use public property and/or public funds to promote your beliefs. Display of religious symbols needs to be done with private funds on private property.
It is different denominations that weren’t to receive preferential treatment. The God of the Bible was to be acknowledged. Because He was, God has blessed the country.
It is different denominations that weren’t to receive preferential treatment. It was intended that the God Who made the country great should be acknowledged.

If it’s Irony you want I give you the UCLA a bunch of Atheists pushing for the removal of christian values ie Seperation of Church and State–The removal of the Ten Commandments from any public forum–Prayer in School and now they are attacking a nativity scene in Franklin County. What happened to freedom of religion? The IRONY is where do the UCLA get there funding? From the Govenment at the highest level. ie Your Tax Payer Dollars, thats were! Do you really trust our Govenment to do anything right? It seem’s to me they will do just about anything even if it means selling there Souls to the Devil!
