[quote:Anonymous Coward 14392840:MV8yMDYzODc4XzM0NzI0MjkxXzczMzY5NUMw] [quote:Anonymous Coward 28572304:MV8yMDYzODc4XzM2NDEyNDY4] For the second year in a row, atheists in Wisconsin have set up their own version of the traditional Christian creche in the Capitol Rotunda. Like typical depictions of the Christian Nativity scene, the “natural nativity scene” displays a small child in a manger surrounded by wisemen. However, this display proclaims “the reason for the season” is the Winter Solstice and the wisemen are not strictly men — Emma Goldman, the goddess Venus and the Statue of Liberty stand beside Charlies Darwin, Albert Einstein and Thomas Jefferson. The baby Jesus has been replaced with a baby girl. http://www.rawstory.com/rs/2012/11/26/atheist-group-again-erects-irreverent-nativity-scene-in-wisconsin-capitol-rotunda/ [/quote] Atheists are stupid.. The Manger is the birthday child of Sol Invictus, Birth of the Unconquered Sun, winter solstice. The animals are ARIES. (Lamb) and TAURUS ( Bull) along with Orions three belt stars that represents the three wise men Its the celebration of winter days getting longer, and turning into spring.. People back then didnt have clocks and calendars, but they observered the stars. They had to keep track of the seasons cause crops and livelihood was dependant on it. Uneducated idiots.. [/quote]
