"Sleep in heavenly peace..."

Each year we decorate our office with the many Christmas cards we receive. It adds to the festive feeling of the season and we enjoy it. This email came from an anonymous author in Scranton. We've selected it as the best representation of what, for some, is clearly the spirit of the season.

Subject: Question????

The first question we have here at our scranton office is what is wrong with you Athiest Assholes. We recently heard on the news about the bullshit your group started at the Luzerne County Courthouse. Our economy is hurting, the spirts of our citizens are weak for many reasons, and at this time of year, many, close to all people look towards tradition as a sign of good things around the holidays. In one, threatening blow, by threatening to sue Luzerne County for helping keep hope in their citizens, you have done nothing but demoralize the area, and make yourselves look like total Assholes and Athiests. Keep you religious beliefs to yourself. Bow down to your budah or raghead or dot head, or indian gas station god, or whatever you probable domestic terrorists bow down to, and keep out of others innocent business.

Sincerely,

All those who can't stand your kind

MERRY CHRISTMAS

Yup, that’s what it’s all about, that story recounted in scripture---the star, the angel choir, the “raghead” shepherds---the babe, born to show the world the true nature of love. . .and there you have it, just how far we’ve come in two thousand plus years.
