Nothing quite says "This nativity scene is in no way a government endorsement of one religion over others (or no religion)" like thousands of Texans praying and singing Christian hymns around it, interspersed with speeches from Christian pastors.

”What we need Christians is to stand and say Jesus Christ is the only way,” Pastor Derek Rogers proclaimed.

The linked article's just a teensy bit biased. From the article:

"Critics though — mostly atheists — believe that the scene is offensive and that it should not be present on government property..."

I doubt the critics think it's "offensive." I suspect they think it constitutes a government endorsement of a particular religion. Thanks for the smear, theblaze.com.
