Fascism? Hardly. It's just a case of other groups rightfully wanting their share of the pie. Governments can't discriminate.

Re: Atheist facism in action.
I gather that whyme can't spell "fascism". While this is to some extent compensated for by his achievement in not referring to 'Athiests', I am on balance still glad I have him on 'ignore'.
Incidentally, in case anyone thinks it may be too fussy to ensure that you never have to read another post by some really creepy and repetitious person ... such as, let us say, myself ... it couldn't be easier! You just go to your 'User CP" in the blue strip at the top of the page under the board title, and when you get there you click on the 'Friends and Foes' item in the strip on the left, then 'Manage Foes'. Add in the username of the person who is boring or repelling you, or both, and hey presto! You are free ...
There is still the problem of quotes, but at least you will only see the stuff that someone else thinks is worth referring to.
Of course, we must never, never suggest that the board would be better off without anybody, however creepy they may be. That would be quite wrong.

That's the problem with this supernatural stuff, it doesn't really solve anything. It's a placeholder for ignorance.

Actually, it is another group attempting to stifle the free speech and religious celebration of another group. And it is fascism in action. Sign of the times in Amerca. It is childish and disgusting.

Ignore the post and attack the poster. Kind of creepy but it is the tone of this board which is why decent people leave. If I would point out all spelling mistakes and typos on this boad of select posters to make a point...well...what can I say about myself.
To surround a nativity scene with atheist messages is disgusting and fascist. If you can't see that, well, it is not really my problem. But then again, maybe it is. Just a sign of a 'runaway' world.

Fascism ( /ˈfæʃɪzəm/) is a radical authoritarian nationalist political ideology.[1][2] Fascists seek to rejuvenate their nation based on commitment to the national community as an organic entity, in which individuals are bound together in national identity by suprapersonal connections of ancestry, culture, and blood.
Hmmm....let's see if I can alter this quote slightly to provide an ironic and unintended consequence to the OP...
Mormonism is a radical male dominated authoritarian religious ideology. Mormons seek to rejuvenate their cult based on total unquestioning commitment to the Mormon religion as an organic entity, in which individuals are bound together in religious identity by supra personal connections of ancestry, culture, obedience and blood.
Hmmm...I think the cap fits...

I'm getting quite tired of the sanctimonious crap coming from both sides of the issue. That includes your post, my dear.
