Every year the Freedom From Religion Foundation (FFRF), a group of militant atheists—whose love for abortion is on a par with their love for Christian bashing—like to erect a silly Winter Solstice exhibit at the Capitol in Madison, Wisconsin. This year they are in for a surprise.
We have decided to send these activists a lesson, reminding them that the Christmas season is our season. We rule. They lose.
We will have a billboard displayed in the vicinity of Madison, Wisconsin from December 16 to December 29. It will be on the beltway, south of Mineral Point Road. The panel size is 12 x 50.
(We will feature a picture, or a facsimile of the billboard, in the next edition of Catalyst, but the wording can now be revealed.)
It is headlined, “ATHEISTS STRIKE OUT AT CHRISTMAS,” we opine, “Celebrating Winter Solstice is a Child’s Game.” We remind them that “This Is Our Season—Not Theirs,” and that it is meant to “Celebrate the Birth of Christ.” We end by saying, “Merry Christmas.”
We chose Madison because it is home to FFRF and we wanted them to see it. Call it our Christmas gift to them.
They put up their Winter Solstice display to compete with the manger scene; it is only apropos that we compete with them.
They filed a bogus complaint with the IRS against us in the fall, so this is our way of saying, “we’re not going away.”
