Atheists Unveil ‘Blasphemous’ Nativity at Wis. Capitol: Darwin, Einstein, & an African Baby

Mock Wisconsin Nativity Includes Darwin, Einstein | Freedom From Religion Foundation

Earlier this week, the Blaze reported about the “slightly blasphemous” nativity scene that the Freedom From Religion Foundation has been planning to put in the Wisconsin state capitol. The atheist group was so frustrated over the presence of a Christian nativity, that its leaders decided to seek out a permit to make public what the group’s co-president Annie Laurie Gaylor calls an “irreverent tweak on the nativity scene.”

On Wednesday, the FFRF made good on its promise to counter the Christian depiction assembled by Wisconsin Family Action (WFA), a conservative organization in the region. In the atheist version of the nativity, Thomas Jefferson, Charles Darwin and Albert Einstein are the three wise men. The baby, an African girl, is intended to represent the birthplace of mankind. The beloved angels are an astronaut and the Statue of Liberty.

According to FFRF, the nativity spoof wouldn‘t have been created if the capitol’s rotunda didn’t already have other religious displays. But because the Christian message was represented, Gaylor’s group demanded that theirs be viewed too.

“But, since it is a public forum, it didn’t look like legally we could do anything, so, we were left with putting up our own, natural nativity display,” Gaylor explained. ”We think that the rotunda is getting too littered, we don’t think that it should be a public forum for religion at the seat of government.”

Andrew Seidel, who is also with the FFRF, explained the mock nativity, saying, “Thomas Jefferson, one of our characters (in the display), said that ridicule is the only weapon that can be used against unintelligible principles. He continued, claiming that his group isn’t competing with WFA. “Our beliefs, we think, are just as important and we want to get them out there and represent the other side of the story,” he said.

WFA has no problem with the presence of the display and says that it welcomes all perspectives. This incident follows a very public battle between the foundation and the Wisconsin state government after Gov. Walker began referring to the state’s official holiday spruce as a Christmas tree this year.

      if that REALLY represents their views…sincerely represents their views…then let them show it. however, ask an atheist if they are accepting their CHRISTMAS bonus, if they have a private sector job. ask them to be sure to keep working all thru the holiday and make sure that your kids stay in school thru CHRISTMAS and all of you atheist teachers stay at school grading papers thru the entire CHRISTMAS HOLIDAY! MERY CHRISTMAS and Happy African Baby Day…michele obama, prob’ly.

      I think they totally missed the whole sybolism of the Nativity Scene. Do you worship the dear lord Charles Darwin or the Holy Albert Einstein. Really? Why don’t you pick a day that is holy or spiritual to you and make an occassion out of it. Who says you can’t? But you choose to show hate and stomp all over other sybolism of faith. That shows how really childish your group is and will never be a serious organization. I believe this could be considered a hate crime.

      “[My] judgment often fluctuates…. Whether a man deserves to be called a theist depends on the definition of the term … In my most extreme fluctuations I have never been an atheist in the sense of denying the existence of a God. — I think that generally (and more and more so as I grow older), but not always, — that an agnostic would be the most correct description of my state of mind.” -Charles Darwin… the man couldn‘t even say that he didn’t believe in a god.

      “I believe in Spinoza’s God who reveals himself in the orderly harmony of what exists, not in a God who concerns himself with the fates and actions of human beings.” – Albert Einstien… this man couldn’t even deny the fact that there is a “Higher Power”

      As far as the African baby girl… – most tribes in Africa beleive in a “Higher Power” and worship a type of god…

      The statue or figure of Venus or Aphrodites… just so you athiest are aware… those are gods too

      All part of the atheist/secularist Newspeak whereby they seek to offend “inoffensively” with “slightly blasphemous” displays. Notice…none of them have a “slightly blasphemous” menorah to ever offer? This is nothing but their expression of their hatred for christianity while they abuse the constitution as a shield. Again I’ll ask it…will any of these “constitutionalist” atheists be staying at work on December 25th? Will they be demanding the day be removed from the national holiday calendar? Will they be demanding that any Federal, State and Local agencies scheduled to take the day off remain at work? Clearly…the day is Christmas Day..a Christian holiday and the state is acknowledging it. Where is their ire for the nation taking the day off? No..this is nothing but christian hating and very poorly veiled christian hating.

      These aren’t “atheists”, they are anti-Christian protesters. And the media is mischaracterizing them either out of ignorance or in accordance with what the ‘protesters’ call themselves or in support of their own Godless beliefs.

      Atheism is a belief system. A philosophy. These demonstrations, now all across the country, and every year at Christmas time, are antagonistic and controversial with full intent and malice aforethought. Designed to outrage Christians and distract their minds from the love and charity the warmth of the thought of Jesus Christ brings to the hearts of Christians and faithful every where to focus on hatred and denial.

      I love this time of year! I love the controversy. It means that Christians are finally standing up for what we believe in and that the athiests are intimidated by it. Did you see the article where high school boys in a particular school are “tebowing”? Even kids are standing up for their rights, kneeling in the hallways for prayer. I think all Christians should do some ‘Tebowing”. Kneel and pray while shopping at Wal-Mart. Make the sign of the cross everytime you shoot up a little prayer in public. Join hands and say grace in restaurants. Stop and stand still when you pray in public and make the sign of the cross on your forehead with your thumb when you finish. Pray often in public, silently or out loud, but pray so people know what you’re doing. We can be silent witnesses by letting everyone around us know that we are Christians and that we rely on God’s grace, wisdom, and will, to get us through the day. How can they stop us from witnessing when all we’re doing is praying? Let the world know that we are many and we are serious about our faith. Wow! What an impact we could have……peaceful and silent.

      For a group of people who claim they don’t believe in God they certainly spend a great deal of time & money talking about Him. Of course, it’s very clear these people are either ashamed to confess they do indeed believe in Lord God and Savior, but they hate Him. Atheism by definition is a religion:. A set of beliefs, values, and practices based on the teachings of a spiritual leader.

      I agree that Christians shouldn’t have special rights over non-Christians but nobody is shoving anything down your throat the last I checked. Maybe they did in the distant past, but never in my lifetime has anyone forced me to do anything remotely religious, whether in public school or even in church.

      Of course, last time I checked, nobody is forcing you or anyone else to go to these public Christmas displays or to put up a Christmas tree or to take December 25th as a holiday, or to exchange gifts or anything like that. Nobody is stopping these atheists from putting up their display of non-religious propaganda as far as I know either. They have equal rights as much as the Christians. You can go along your merry way and never even acknowledge any of these things, religious and non-religious if you so chose.

      Just because somebody refers to an ornately decorated conifer as a “Christmas tree” doesn‘t mean it can’t be something completely different to you. You could call it the “Ornate Conifer of Winter Solstice” if you chose, or even “A stupid myth tree.” Sure you might offend some people, but they have just as much right and privilege to be offended as you do. Its like when someone calls their father “Dad” instead of “Bob”. The context is different for that person so no offense should be taken.

      Notice how the nativity display isn’t purposely made to be confrontational unlike the atheist one. Its as if atheists are trying to force their

      So let me get this right …. you are contending that Christians are stomping on your belief in….nothing???
      Look I do not know a Christian nor do I know OF a Christian that would say you do not have the right to believe or not as you wish.
      Does it offend you if the local paper or court house put up a picture of a modern family that is gathered around the baby’s crib? According to you and those that share what you say you do not believe in…that is all the nativity is. If we are believing a story of fiction as fact why does that bother you guys so much? Would it bring you angry atheists out in a rage if I said captain Kirk is god?
      You guys are such hypocrites!!! You say you believe in NOTHING and yet you go out of your way to step on our long held traditions that have their roots in Christianity. If you did not believe in God then you would not attack Him as you do. No. I contend you do believe in God…and are just angry at Him and the only way you think you can hurt Him is to say He is not there and attack his kids.

      Atheist displays really don’t affect my life or my beliefs. I don’t push my beliefs down their throats. I don’t discuss my belief in God with them unless they ask me to and then only if it can be a civil respectful conversation. The only thing I object to is that most atheists can’t seem to peacefully co-exist with those who don’t agree with them. In general, atheists are always demanding people respect their viewpoints but don’t give the same consideration to others. Attacks, ridicule and unfair demands on either side don’t encourage an atmosphere of equality or peaceful tolerance. All it does is create more animosity.

      @ God Hates….Einstein interview…You accept the historical existence of Jesus? “Unquestionably! No one can read the Gospels without feeling the actual presence of Jesus. His personality pulsates in every word. No myth is filled with such life.”

      Do you believe in God? “I’m not an atheist. I don’t think I can call myself a pantheist. The problem involved is too vast for our limited minds. We are in the position of a little child entering a huge library filled with books in many languages. The child knows someone must have written those books. It does not know how. It does not understand the languages in which they are written. The child dimly suspects a mysterious order in the arrangement of the books but doesn’t know what it is. That, it seems to me, is the attitude of even the most intelligent human being toward God. We see the universe marvelously arranged and obeying certain laws but only dimly understand these laws.”

      Is this Spinoza’s God? “I am fascinated by Spinoza’s pantheism, but I admire even more his contribution to modern thought because he is the first philosopher to deal with the soul and body as one, and not two separate things.”

      Maybe CHristians should “OCCUPY” the display, dblcok everyone’s view and then destroy it? They seem to love that tactic! :)

      Of course that wouldn’t be a hate crime. It would be accurately representing history. In order for something to be a hate crime it must first be a crime.

    Atheists so frustrated over the presence of a Christian nativity ……
    Not unlike the vampires we see in the movies, these atheists cannot bare the sight of a crucifix or any other religious icon. Apparently, neither can they bare the thought of anyone else seeing these religious symbols, let alone believing in a God. What pathetic little lives they must live.

    God is a forgiving God. Even though they are mocking (and are not very creative) anyone involved in FFRF can ask for the Lord to be the manager of their life, and ask for forgiveness. If they truly set in their heart that Jesus died for their sins (including this one) they will be forgiven and saved. That simple. And what a great Christmas Gift. The best ever. Merry Christmas.

      They are in my prayers every night. I don’t want to fight with them so I pray for their hearts and souls. They must be so unhappy to go after religon and God like they do. They must have such darkness inside of them. I do not envy, nor do I want to give rise to the anger and hate they are spewing. They are being punished enough every day and night that they walk in hate and fear. They know God is real or they would not be rebelling!

    To these Atheists and their Blasphemous nativity I offer my counter part — A secure spot where any Christian group could set theirs up under the watchful protection of the Marines, armed to the teeth and awaiting the first bit of trouble.

    These who seek to tear apart the faith of others for the sole sake of their own practices fail to understand that God will neither be mocked or disuaded; there will be a day of accounting and all will have to explain their deeds for good or bad.

      left they would be struck by lightning? That is exactly what I would
      be afraid of if I mocked my God. Maybe they will SEE THE LIGHT.

      @ wayne

      i believe that there are no TRUE atheists, they just deny what they know is deep down in their hearts.
      they have made a god out of man, knowledge, pride and denial.

      Rom 1:19-20 “Because that which may be known of God is manifest in them; for God hath showed it unto them……For the invisible things of him from the creation of the world are clearly seen, being understood by the things that are made, even his eternal power and Godhead; so that they are without excuse:”

      God’s eternal power and Godhead has been made know to all of mankind as well as unto all Atheists/Evolutionist/Humanist. They are without excuse!

      Eccl.3:11 “He has made everything beautiful in its time. Also He has put eternity in their hearts, except that no one can find out the work that God does from beginning to end.” NKJV

      God put eternity into the hearts of men and they cannot get it out. This is why all men will worship something, whether it be the true and living God or some other creature, heavenly object, graven images or man himself as the Atheists/Evolutionists/Humanists do.

    I would have more respect for these atheists if they had displayed a scene of what constitutes their own beliefs rather than simply denigrating the Nativity. Oh wait, I guess they just did display their beliefs. They are Anti-Christ. They apparently have no core beliefs or redeeming values they can share with the world other than to insult Christ and Christians in general.

      Could not have said it better myself. These particular atheists are acting just like spoiled children: they can’t get their way, so they resort to needling those they disagree with (REAL mature… NOT!). Mark my words, though, when it comes time for them to account for their actions on this earth, they will rue the day they decided to turn their backs on God Almighty.

    What idiots…. So who’s going to call the Funny Farm and complain about this ridiculous grade-school attempt at ‘getting their ideas’ out and about? Looks like FFRF doesn’t make enough money to commission their own nativity scene, so they threw together some paper dolls, a latex brown colored baby-doll and a sign that reads “Thou shalt not steal” with a fan of pamphlets in front. I assume those pamphlets will still be there when they take down their abomination, due to the “stealing” sign. The people of Wisconsin need to make paper-doll clown suits, and go and dress up their blasphemy scene a bit. A Ronald McDonald statue would complete the picture, I think.
