I read that post and spent about five minutes thinking "poe?" .. and you know what I came up with? I just can't tell man... I can't tell.

U.S. News - Atheist display: Skeleton Santa nailed to a cross

The skeleton in a Santa suit didn't survive for long outside the Loudoun County courthouse lawn, but it generated plenty of controversy in Leesburg, Va.

The skeleton was nailed to a cross on Monday by a mother and son associated with an atheist group, one of the nine approved displays for the Christmas season. But the macabre Kris Kringle was not standing for long. Someone tore the skeleton down, sparking a debate about free speech.

It's not a new argument. In 2009, Christmas displays on the courthouse lawn were banned after the constitutionality of a Nativity scene was questioned. Last year that decision was overturned, and 10 displays were allowed on the lawn based on a first-come, first-served basis.

I'm sorry but this is just wrong. I'm all for allowing multiple views but the idea is to be inclusive of everyone's holidays, not mocking other peoples.

It was actually put there to make a point, but this is still stupid. If you're going to make a point, it helps to actually state the point you're trying to make, instead of hoping that people will work it out themselves.

Saddly most groups contain some jerks.

Seems athiests are no different from other groups, even down to the biggest jerks often being activists.
