Apparently Christians are butt-hurt because of a complaint that parts of a memorial, in remembrance of teacher, Joanne Christy, should be removed. The memorial contained crosses and angels which made it in violation of the 1st Amendment. The school has agreed to remove the crosses but will be keeping the angels as a way to remember her. This is a basic summary of the story. Now here is where the stupidity comes in- at the end, it is mentioned that the Atheists had a problem with the crosses yet didn't mind that their mascot was a 'Devil'. I know what you Christians are thinking, "AHA! The hypocrisy!". If you are a Christian and this is your feelings then you would be very wrong. Merely seeing a Devil as a mascot is not going to make anyone want to worship God. If anything, it would make you want to run in the other direction. It is also not really a symbol of Christianity, unlike angels or the cross. Do you know of anyone that hangs Satan above their bed as they would either of the objects that are in dispute? Of course you don't. Satan does not promote religion. Better luck next time!
Christians seem to live by the double-standard that it is okay to promote Christianity and prayer in schools but not okay to promote Atheism, or any other religion, for that matter. It's time they get off their high horses and realize that we are not going to stand for their bullshit anymore. This is about more than being right or wrong, at this point, and I'm really glad to see people are finally taking a stand against the monstrosity we call religion.
