Another atheist DH with a lapsed Catholic DW. She has a couple of very pretty crucifixes that she hung above doors in bedrooms. Just a piece of art as far as I'm concerned, but they are important to her.  The paintings sound beautiful. Wouldn't bother me from a religious perspective because, again, to me it's just beautiful art. In the same vein, she understands why I have a little statue of Baphomet on my desk and send checks to the Satanists legal fund to support their fights against Christians who have such difficulty understanding the meaning of the 1st Amendment[/quote]

This is so interesting. So you're an atheist who thinks that pranks against Christians (only) are productive ways to engage. And you're male (actually that has always seemed obvious from your posts).

Are you the troll who disrupts most threads about Christianity with shallow silliness. [/quote]

Groundhog! Is it you?

In any case, we'll take that as a "yes," that you're the disruptive atheist troll. (No, I'm not the poster who coined the term "Groundhog" and keeps using it, but I find her response to your annual Horus and Mithras nonsense hilarious.)

Please can I beg your indulgence, and since you're under the cover of anonymity, to ask you a few questions?!

Here's the paradox of your behavior. Disrupting nativity displays at the courthouse is materially different from trolling DCUM threads. The first is a constitutional issue, as you say, and in fact I'm 100% with you on the constitutional issue (although I wouldn't address it by being obnoxious and juvenile, instead I'd hire serious lawyers). The second, trolling DCUM to disrupt conversations about religious imagery, has no constitutional rationale and you're free to leave any time or just not open the thread. In fact, by trolling here, you're disrupting the freedom of speech of posters here to discuss things like religious imagery in their houses. So, here are my questions for you:

1. What are you hoping to accomplish by trolling here? The courthouse hijinks have an obvious constitutional angle. But you seem to have changed direction with your trolling on a mom's chat board--no constitutional issue here. What's it to you that people want to discuss religious imagery?
2. Given that you're accomplishing nothing here besides making an ass out of yourself (deliberately or no), don't you ever wonder whether you should be spending your time more productively? Like, I dunno, going outside to enjoy the unseasonably nice weather, or taking up golf or something? Because honestly, dear Groundhog, your bombastic and shallow (cf Horus and Mithras) and just plain rude approach makes people roll their eyes instead of taking you seriously. I doubt you've made a single convert to atheism.
3. Do you only troll Christian threads? It sure seems like it. Why do you have a special animus for Christians?
4. What does your wife with the religious imagery think about your trolling here? Does she know about it?

TIA![/quote]

You're actually combining two posters. The one who talked about Mithras and who I assume you're calling "Groundhog" is not the same as the poster who has a lapsed Catholic wife and has crucifixes in his home. I'm the latter.

I did not troll. I answered the question about where the crucifixes and other religious imagery are in my house. It just so happens that one of the religious icons on my house is a small statue of Baphomet.  Then I responded to posts that were responding to mine. [/quote]
