A sign similar to these photos in this link -
www.ffrf.org/news/2008/r..._madison.php
reads:
“At this season of the Winter Solstice, may reason prevail. There are no gods, no devils, no angels, no heaven or hell. There is only our natural world. Religion is but myth and superstition that hardens hearts and enslaves minds.”
The Freedom From Religion Foundation (FFRF.org) co-president AND former Preacher of 20 years, Dan Barker flew to Olympia, Wash. to dedicate the first Winter Solstice display at the Washington State Capitol.
It was STOLEN Dec 5th and later found supposedly in a ditch and brought to a Christian radio station.
Another FFRF co-founder said:
"The incident will not stifle the group's message, Gaylor said. Before reports of the placard's recovery, she said a temporary sign with the same message would be placed in the building's Rotunda. Gaylor said a note would be attached saying, "Thou shalt not steal."
"I guess they don't follow their own commandments," Gaylor said. "There's nothing out there with the atheist point of view, and now there is such a firestorm that we have the audacity to exist. And then [whoever took the sign] stifles our speech."
Washington State Patrol Sgt. Ted said police are checking security cameras.

"But now leaders of InGodWeTrustUSA.org say their members will work with state lawmakers and others to try to prevent such attacks on religion, specifically Christianity."
Hmmm, sounds familiar, like the U.N. attempting to criminalize criticism of Islam. So, will they start burning and banning atheist books and comparative religion books?
Christianity and Islam are attacks on MY religion of common sense and rationality - will they be banned.
A slippery slope, indeed."
