Baby Jesus + Anti-Abortion = No Go

[Boris Godunov]

I mean, you can't just make something up...

Why should this be different for anyone else? Everything got made up at some point. December 25th doesn't even have a real connection to anything in the Bible, it was a date co-opted from the Roman holiday calendar.

Nor was I talking solely about Dec. 25 or thereabouts. I was just saying in general that if a certain religious group gets to display its message/icons at some point on public property, it's only fair that any other group gets the same access at some point. As for what is and isn't the appropriate date to do so, shouldn't that be up to the group to decide? How would the public entity be able to police that fairly?

Sol Invictus wins for coolest sounding holiday.

I tried and failed to find a picture of a gay Jesus drawn in crayon

Edit: Best I could do

[Boris Godunov]

They don't need to put it up around Xmas. I think he means in general. There are holidays on days other than Christmas, you know.

Right. The gays could do a faboo Halloween display.

Atheists could do Bertrand Russell's birthday, perhaps.

[loinburger]

Atheists could do a combination of Hitler's Stalin's Mao's and Pol Pot's birthdays.

[Boris Godunov]

That's good... an ongoing holiday kind of like Hannukah.

Atheists could do a combination of Hitler's Stalin's Mao's and Pol Pot's birthdays.

How would we celebrate? Kill lots of babies?


I'll just send $50 to Planned Parenthood!

I'd like to put up a lifesized model of the last supper where Jesus and the disciples are depicted as obviously, flamingly homo.

The first gay bar.

[notyoueither]

Well, it'd be based on December, wouldn't it? Because mangers just don't go up on the 25th. So Hanukkah stuff and if Ramadan is that month (it wasn't this year) and Kwanzaa stuff, etc.

There are metal poles all over most major cities.

[Imran Siddiqui]

Is that for Festivus or some kind of new stripper holiday?

[rah]

Either one works for me. I'm ready for the feats of strength or naked ladies.

[Ben Kenobi]

I have no idea why you think it's ridiculous to complain that somebody's using privileged access to city property to display a divisive political message

Considering how Abortion is publicly funded, I can't see why pro-aborts would complain about funds being used to support prolife causes.

[Asher]

Holy ****, Ben. Holy ****.

Abortions are publicly funded. Childbirths are publicly funded.

We're even, now **** off.

Nevermind that NO ONE IS EVEN TALKING ABOUT FUNDING YOU GIGANTIC ****ING IDIOT.

[Imran Siddiqui]

Anti-abortion is publically funded too. Adoption Council of Canada gets government funding

[Asher]

Ben is consistent, though. He doesn't think abortions should get public funding, and he also thinks you must fund one if you fund the other. He clearly thinks that childbirth and maternity care should not be publicly funded in any way.

That's a sure-fire way to increase birthrate.
