By now you've probably heard about the sign that the Governor of Washington state allowed to be put in the rotunda of the her capitol building along with symbols of the holiday season such as a nativity for Christmas and menorah for Hanukkah. This person, who some say stole her election, allowed a placard with the following words on it:
“At this season of the Winter Solstice, may reason prevail. There are no gods, no devils, no angels, no heaven or hell. “There is only our natural world. Religion is but myth and superstition that hardens hearts and enslaves minds.”
How festive. How lovely. You know, that just warms your heart, doesn't it? Seems like the basis of this holiday (Winter Solstice) is to attack people's faith. Wow! What a tradition! You have to think that being an atheist is somewhat akin to being in the KKK. Seeing others, who aren't like you or think the way you do as inferior. Apparently, those who believe in gods, devils, angels have no ability to reason. So we're mindless drones who are able to be manipulated into doing stupid things like help the poor. How stupid can you be?
Look, this placard is not a symbol. It's an attack on people of faith, all faiths, but especially Christians. How dare they denigrate the celebration of the birth of the Savior of the world? How dare they? How shameful and cowardly is Governor Gregoire for allowing this and then hiding behind some court decision? This is outrageous.
However, it's not surprising. Jesus said in John 15:18, "If the world hates you, keep in mind that it hated me first."
So, to Governor Gregoire. someone who has tried to minimize and ruin this celebration of CHRISTmas, I have to say shame on you, although, I'm not surprised at how you hate us. In your haste for "tolerance", you've allowed others to show their intolerance and hate. You're a coward and a disgrace. You don't deserve the position you're in and I call on you to resign.
