1. Whether someone is religious or not, the Nativity scene is based on a real person who lived in world history. Jesus Christ. He's mentioned in the writing of Romans at the time.
   So, seeking to ban a Nativity scene is pretending that history did not happen.
   By the way, what about Santa Claus? No one seems to want to ban him. Yet, he's based on a religious figure: Saint Nicholas.
   Those 'banners' are not very consistent.
   I hope the Nativity Scene is permitted to continue.
   It brings something special to the minds of both believers (as a precious religious celebration) & non-believers (as relating to a person who existed & who's had enormously influence on the history of the world).

2. How ironic that the secularists who are so fond of caricaturing Christianity as nay-saying find offence in such a beautiful icon of life, faith and history.
   Of course, this is the same crowd of neo-prohibitionists who would ban conception, the life of the unborn and the natural end of life running its course. Nihilists to the core.
