Time to pull out my annual speech. I've posted this several times before, but here it is again:

Is it War-on-Christmas-time already? I thought we still had more shopping days left!

But seriously, here it is again, for anyone who still doesn't understand:

You can put up whatever you want in front of your house. You and your fellow church members can put up whatever you want in front of your church. But you can't put up whatever you want in front of someone else's house. And other people can't put up signs or displays in front of your house.

And public land is owned by the government, not you, not your church, which means it belongs to EVERYONE. That means it's not just your land. It's my land, too. So we, all of us, represented by the elected government, have a decision to make. Either we let everyone put up whatever they want, or we let nobody put up anything.

In other words, you can have your Christmas display on public land, with everyone else's displays, including the Satanists who will make a point of putting something up just to troll you. Or you can have nothing on that land, and just stick to putting it in front of your house and your church. And frankly, that's where it belongs, anyway.

Why is this so hard to understand?

"I’m surprised Pastor Todd thinks atheists would be offended by this."

Why would we be offended? Mostly we are just going to point and laugh.
