Nativity scene opponent in high dudgeon, needs Christmas spirit
A Professional Sensitive has himself all worked up in Fort Bend County:
That nativity scene in dispute is in New Territory in Fort Bend County. It's not sitting well with everyone living there.
Opponents say the nativity scene alienates other religions. They also say the scene is on government property and should not be there. The homeowners' association says it's not on government property and they're not going to take it down.
Holiday displays are decorated on the fronts of dozens of neighborhoods in New Territory, but a nativity scene has some non-Christian people offended.
"We represent Hindus, Muslims, Buddhists, and Jews," said Seth Riklin, an opponent to the nativity scene. "Anyone who is not of the Christian faith is relegated to second class citizenship"
Opponents of the nativity scene say they want it taken down because they believe it alienates other religions.
"Relegated to the back of the bus because they're not of the Christian faith," said Riklin.
Mr. Riklin needs to find a (better) hobby...or maybe get a dog.
