Religion: Ya gotta include ALL teh crazy
Bill Donahue, president of the Catholic League for Civil and Religious Rights, disagrees, saying the town has chosen to display Jewish and Islamic religious symbols while leaving out the Christian religious symbol of the season, a Nativity scene. He does not believe the Christmas tree is a religious symbol.
Further, he says, the inclusive display “shows tremendous sympathy for Jews and Muslims at the expense of the majority Christians.”
Alas, Donahue is right. The Xmas tree is roughly as religious as matzo. Now, it is still distinctly Christian, if that makes sense, but not that religious.
If they are going to make monuments to irrationality, they should include as many flavors of crazy as they can.
FSM, anyone?

The “Christmas” tree IS a religious symbol — just not of Christianity. It’s a pagan ritual.
