LOL. As an Atheist through and through I see that the mythological "Nativity Scenes" that pervade almost everywhere around this time of year should be far more factual and show nothing but cattle and livestock sheltering, as they would have done btw, in a barn/shed, etc, completely devoid of any humans except for the farmer feeding them for the night.
Immediately, a slogan from the 70s jumped into my mind:
"What if they called a war, and nobody came/"
Are we there again? It is the call for resistance to an unacceptable evil. Resistance can take several forms, not doing anything or actively opposing the force. I am willing to stand arm in arm with Catholics and Muslims and move forward to put myself between those who need protection and those who want to oppress. Passive resistance does not work here anymore. I think we have arrived in 1789.
Brilliant, the only thing I would want to change there is the colour of Jesus, Mary and Joseph, after all they should be of Middle Eastern appearance.
I saw this posting on FB...from an agnostic.com comrade...
Needed, no doubt, but how horrible that it represents reality!
Same hypocrites that support trump, fuck them!!!

For once, some "truth" in advertising!
My thoughts exactly.
