[Atheist billboards: 55 signs in California to promote atheism during Christmas] "Atheist billboards are one thing, but 55 signs in California promoting atheism are causing quite a stir.

“Don’t forget those three American holidays: Hanukkah, Kwanzaa, and … gingerbread house.”





Where’s Christmas? As one social media commentator rapidly noticed, a recent U.S. Postal Service advertisement to sell “holiday stamps” curiously omitted a Christmas or Christian-themed message, yet included portrayals of Hanukkah and Kwanzaa.

The ad reported by The Blaze contained the text: “Don’t forget your holiday stamps. You’ll find them at your nearest post office or on eBay.” And below the text were pictures of three stamps: One showed a candle holder with nine lighted candles, emblazoned with the word “Hanukkah.” Another showed an colorful symbol over an open book, above the block-type word “Kwanzaa.”

And the third, in the middle, showed — a gingerbread house.

Oh brother. More Fundie extremism.

QUOTE:

"..........For millennia idol worshippers have bowed down before heavenly bodies – sun, moon, and stars – calling them their gods. There were people in Isaiah’s day who looked to “astrologers, those who prophesy by the stars, those who predict by the new moons” seeking guidance (Isaiah 47:13). The people of Israel were warned by God not to lift their “eyes to heaven and see the sun and the moon and the stars, all the host of heaven, and be drawn away and worship them and serve them, those which the LORD your God has allotted to all the peoples under the whole heaven” (Deuteronomy 4:19).

God created the heavenly bodies to “be for signs, and for seasons, and for days and years,” and to “be for lights in the expanse of the heavens to give light on the Earth” (Genesis 1:14). Even with the misuse of the heavenly bodies, this did not stop God from choosing the sun, moon, and stars to symbolize His chosen nation Israel (Genesis 37:9–11; Revelation 12:1–2). And neither did it stop Him from using a star to announce the birth of Jesus (Matthew 2:2).

Some will turn to Jeremiah 10:1-10 to make a case against “Christmas trees.” Jeremiah is describing idol worship, and he ridicules it: “Like a scarecrow in a cucumber field are they, and they cannot speak; they must be carried, because they cannot walk! Do not fear them, for they can do no harm, nor can they do any good” (10:5). Who among us believes that a “Christmas tree” is a god to be worshipped?

Just because pagans might have used trees to worship their gods does not mean that we can’t use them to teach us something about God who has given us the “indescribable gift” of Jesus Christ (2 Corinthians 9:15). The Christmas tree, as it is now designated, is an evergreen that reminds us that we have “eternal life” in Jesus Christ (John 6:40). The shape of the tree reminds us that we are “born from above” (John 3:3). The needles on the branches remind us that Jesus was “pierced through for our transgressions” (Isaiah 53:5).

The lights hung on the tree remind us that Jesus is “the light of the world” (John 8:12) and through Him we are to be “the light of the world” (Matthew 5:14). The ornaments we hang on the tree and the presents we place under the tree remind us that “every good thing given and every perfect gift is from above, coming down from the Father of lights, with whom there is no variation or shifting shadow” (James 1:17).

Instead of condemning the Christmas tree as some pagan object brought into our homes from the pagan cold, it can be used to remind us that God promises us “the right to the tree of life” (Revelation 22:14).

If the Bible tells us “to go to the ant … to observe her ways and be wise” (Proverbs 6:6), certainly we can learn similar things from God’s other good creations, even trees"

History is history weather you like it or not...and we are specifically warned not to take the tradition and customs of them. But since you are well aware of what it is and choose to partake then go ahead,, but some people wont know unless they are told.

[School cancels Operation Christmas Child over lawsuit threats By Todd Starnes] "A South Carolina charter school has canceled its annual Christmas toy drive after a group of self-described humanists complained that the project violated the U.S. Constitution and accused them of bribing children to convert to Christianity.

Renee Mathews, the principal of East Point Academy in West Columbia, S.C., said the annual Operation Christmas Child project was halted because the American Humanist Association threatened to sue the school.

“We received a letter saying we had to cease and desist immediately or they would take legal action against us,” Mathews told me..." Full text: School cancels Operation Christmas Child over lawsuit threats Jn 8:36

A person can find millions of these stories. Bill O'Reilly has been reporting on the war on Christmas for years now.

Those Atheist billboards don't just promote Atheism. They first and foremost attack Christianity.

It's pretty tough to make a positive case for Atheism, as these billboards all but confess.

A lot of atheists do hate Christianity, not many hate Christians. Do you consider me hate-filled?
