Talk about a bunch of scrooges!

So they are afraid their kids will turn religious? Do they believe they will never be "confronted" with religion? And what is "atheism" other than another form of religon believing man is god?

It´s time to take a bunch of Atheists out on a lone, dark road and let a couple of guys try that Charlie Brown football kick to the part of man´s body where it hurts.

Came home from work and sat down to eat. The Charlie Brown Thanksgiving started on TV and just like every year she pulled the ball away from him.

Sometimes we miss the good old days where some dark alley justice would take care of these grinches.

What gives atheists the right to dictate what children can see? Keep your child home and don´t ruin it for the rest of them.

Last time I looked, atheists were a very small percentage of the population.

Charlie Brown Christmas is my favorite of all the cartoons, especilally the Luke recitation. It´s time we Christians start fighting back.

Linus explaining what Christmas is all about is one of the sweetest moments in television history. Powerful too.

Atheists are always begging the government to privilege their own point of view.

I´m torn between wanting to smack these people around and feeling most sad and sorry for them. What kind of odd duck objects to the VERY REASON that a holiday exists? How do these poor souls even explain this to their kids? The whistle blower mom could have just kept her child home, no one except the administration would have had to know why the kid was not in class or part of the field trip. I know, I know - they don´t believe the same as we do. I got it. But because they have raised their children clearly in opposition to 75-80% of the rest of the country, they believe it is their prerogative to object to the holiday for the vast majority.

These sad sacks deserve our pity. They don´t know what they don´t know...

Anybody have the cojones to finally put a stop to these single digit offense takers ruling our world?

They have no strength if they´re not given it. And that´s all they have - what they´ve been given.

They have not the strength to demand, but ask in a loud voice and people shrink at their volume - they have no power but what was conceded to them.

Words spoken cannot hurt, compel, demand with reward, or otherwise accrue any desired conclusion, unless allowed by eunuchs fleeing their own defenses.

"Atheists" - hardly.

They only cry foul over Christianity.

Good grief.

All movies from The Church of Humanism should be banned. The High Priest Druids from the "No God" Church should not be allowed to preach their doctrine in our schools!!!!

Isn´t it time for Christians to stop turning the other cheek ?

This isn´t an endorsement of a particular religion but more of an explanation as to the reason for the season. This presentation is an educational lesson for the festival of Christmas.

"Gee Daddy, what is Christmas?" "I´m sorry Son. That is a cultural festival based on beliefs you are not allowed to be exposed to."

Sounds like censorship to me. How about using the same logic on the Homosexual agenda?

It take 100 more faith to believe in the gaps in the fossil record than believe in Christ.

A bird may, by genetics, pass traits to have a longer beak, but it never became a bear (anothe species). Yes, you see the fossil record never shows one species becoming another (Darwin had a good guess).

When are Americans going to stop putting up with this crap? I used to bring my daughters history textbook to parent teacher conferences with pages marked with post it notes and would ask the teachers why they thought it was ok to demonize the white European immigrants who built this country. It wasn´t comfortable or fun but the look on their faces was priceless and someone has to do it. Stand up.

"If there were no God, there would be no atheists."
G. K. Chesterton

If I may interject a little levity...Wouldn´t it be sweet if the lady who wanted to ruin the field trip for the entire class would eventually spend eternity having to watch "A Charlie Brown Christmas" without interruption -- not even a potty break?

It could happen, you know.

Atheists never have anything to say about Muslims.

There is no reason to believe that evolution and God need be mutually exclusive. I think both concepts can co-exist. One does not need to take everything written literally, especially since much of it was not meant to be in the first place.

I hate to state the obvious but Christmas "[has] got religious content"!

What does it hurt for your kids to understand the underpinnings of their culture?

Geesh!

Mrs. Voxlapidis has an elegant solution.

The parents of the children who want their kids to see CB should keep them out of school that day and take them to the movie.

This action will effect school attendance which in return will effect funding for the school.

The atheists´ kids, off course, can attend class.

Both sides win.

Why would atheists organize about anything? Why would they care?

#17, that would be a good punishment! BTW, I always wondered what happened to Madeleine Murray O´Hair after she was killed...Did she just go poof into thin air? Or what? I always wondered if atheists would just disappear or if they had to pay a price not just for their willful denial of God, but for trying to erase God from our society. O´Hair has done much more damage to our society than the ACLU in their worst cases...and she got rich off of her bad deeds too!

Suggest the atheists develop their own children´s shows, starting with the life story of the charming Madlyn Murray O´Hare, founding mother of the atheist movement here. The ending would delight the kids.

Find an atheist and you´ll find a very angry person practicing the religion of stealing someone else´ joy, it is that simple. Obstructionist mentality. Spoiled brats still trying to get mommies attention. Ignore them.

Easy Solution:
Have the students that want to see it meet at the play on a Saturday or Sunday as a group.
Maybe even with their parents or guardians. Not a class trip anymore but the class is seeing the play. Let´s the air out of atheist
mom´s balloon real quick. I bet she was drooling just for an opportunity like this for her 15 minutes of fame.

Athieism is the only true God and Darwin is his prophet.

If you don´t want to believe in God, fine, don´t believe in god. Show the world the strength of your convictions, don´t take time off from your job at Christmas, refuse that Christmas bonus, or any presents from your infidal family. Don´t participate in heathen Christian dinner festivities. Explain to your children why they will not receive any presents or stockings full of treats. Condemn and persecute the unbelievers. Be true to your faith and when you die the prophet Darwin will welcome you to your eternity of darkness and nothingness.

Me, personally, I have a different idea.

#4. Like it or not, the 1st amendment keeps the state from shoving religious content down our throats. Just as we can´t put a gun to the heads of people and force them to accept Jesus, they can´t hold a sword to our necks and force us to accept much harmed.

#23. There are no atheists in Hell.

#22: Because they want everybody to be as hopeless, cynical and miserable as they are.

Be nice if these people crawled back into their hole.

In 1957 ,when I was in kindergarten, we said grace before our snack of a two cent carton of milk. We also had real Christmas programs.Since then ,Christianity has been replaced with with the politically correct religion of paganism. Islam gets a pass too.

#18 nails it! These people are simply cowards. Unfortunately, this single digit constituency is allowed to herd us around like cattle .

The atheist Jesus haters want everyone to be as miserable as they are.

Comrade Stalin would love our PC police...give me a break!

Atheists. It´s what´s for dinner. Sound like a pretty tolerant lot, don´t they? What are they afraid of?

The ACLU would deem a public school field trip to a mosque for a beheading as a healthy cultural exchange.

I remember having two kindergarten students who parents were atheists. Nobody cared. However, when we had our Christmas party the parents chose to keep their children at home which was fine. We did get a little annoyed when the parents wanted to stop by the school to pick up their child´s Christmas party goodies. Needless to say they were told that there were no goodies for their kids.

Just another aggrieved minority - people with no place to go after they die.

These people apparently don´t understand "the free exercise of religion," as stated in the first amendment of the Bill of Rights. The relation between the government and religion is often incorrectly characterized as Separation of church and state, as prohibiting a state church, or in other ways, but these characterizations have no basis in the first amendment. The actual language is: congress shall make no law regarding an establishment of religion. No law-literally-as Biden would say. No law! Taken literally, there would be nothing to say about such a school presentation. Of course free exercise is not coerced exercise. A student should be free to go or not to go.

The old ´have their cake and eat it too´ ploy #37. lol. I think that atheists suffer from an extremely stiff neck in regards to their personal belief system.

What is astonishing to me about atheists is that when you read in the latter part of the book of Revelation, after the 1000 years of Christ´s reign, there are STILL going to be people who won´t believe! So I take current atheists with a grain of salt and a bit of pity. But I have no sympathy for them whatsoever.

I´ve come to the conclusion that atheists don´t believe there is no God, but that they actually are afraid of God.

Question for atheists: If God doesn´t exist and religion is a fairy tale ... how is this movie any different from any other work of fiction or cartoon?

Another extreme minority trying to set the agenda for the whole nation. To hell with them! Yes, there is a hell!

Atheists -- the only group of people with no invisible means of support.

I once had a minister tell me that hell was an individual state of mind...if you were a little old lady that liked to sit quietly knitting and listening to opera, hell might be filled with psychedelic lights and acid rock, yet if you were a hard core biker, hell might be filled with chamber music.

Maybe for an atheist, hell would be 24/7 mass, monks chanting or nuns praying.

It is ironic what the "atheists" choose to protest...they don´t want anyone else to enjoy or participate in what the Christians choose to believe, yet they never protest time off work, "seasonal" bonuses, or sales at the stores...can you imagine the scene at Wal-Mart if an atheist were insisting on paying full price because he didn´t believe in Christmas?
