The War on Christmas nuts have surfaced in my area.
Posted by Z-Man
I was reading the local paper today (the La Salle tribune) and came across this gem. In the letter the writer claims the usual war on Christmas line. She says atheists are attacking Christmas by "removing nativity scenes, taking down crosses, and in one school celebrating Christmas has been banned." I'm guessing that she is talking about the removal of religious symbols from government and public property. When the writer fails to realize is that religious symbols are not allowed on public property due to the separation of church and state clause of the constitution. As far as removal of nativity scenes. I see all kinds of them up and down my block, on private property which is where religious displays belong I also see plenty of crosses and other Christmas decorations and they are very pretty. But they do not belong on public property. I'm even gong to question weather Christmas should be a federal holiday. I mean it is at it's heart the celebration of what Christians believe to be the birth of Christ. I know the courts have ruled that it has enough secular meaning to be considered a federal holiday but as was pointed out to me last year by a relative who did not like a blog post I wrote about what Christmas means to me on my mysapce page, Paraphrasing now, if it were not for the birth of Christ we would not have the holiday." That being said then should it really even be a federal holiday. Sounds to me like it violates the separation of Church and state.
Also, the letter writer talks about how atheists are trying to destroy Christmas. On the contrary. Most atheists and agnostics like myself are not trying to ban or otherwise destry Christmas. We just don't think it should be displayed on government or public property. Most of us take a live and let live approach. I and most people who question weather the god of organized religion actually exists respect others beliefs. We just don't want them shoved down our throats. As far as her claims of, "Why attack something you don't believe in." Again, no one is attacking her beliefs or her practicing her beliefs. She has the right to believe what she wants and practice her religion how she wants. What we are against is the display of religious symbols on public property. Keep the religious symbols on private property where they belong. Not on government property.

I am happy about finding a job. But I feel like we r the kids who keep flunking senior year. Everyone around us is progressing and growing and making way more than we are & we are back to just above minimum wage, again. My sister & her husband have a huge business, Our friends are making excellent money, they are doing really good & it's great. But here we are, feeling like teenagers barely making 18k year. It's so stressful! I feel like we'll never get to travel or see anything besides La Salle IL. It's depressing. It makes me feel like we can't do anything right.
Have you every asked a (close friend) friend to do something for you because you were sick? I did. And now I wish I had not. But if they were sick and needed my help, I'd be there to do anything to help. It would never be an issue. Now it will never be an issue because I won't ask for help again. Sometimes being the only person in the house that can drive is difficult as all the pressure is on me. There are cabs and I'll fork over the 8.00 it costs for a one way ride if I am sick with a temperature and it's not healthy to be outside. So now because I was awake 38 mins after they left, I've been made to feel like crap for asking. What kind of friend does that?????
After a very long sad 2 weeks, I wanted to share some family photos. This last one uploaded is my Mom and all her brothers and sisters a decade or so ago.
