In today's Coeur d'Alene Press editorial, Editor Mike Patrick writes:

In his quest for national publicity, Hayden resident Jeremy Morris is allegedly pitting his small but righteous Christian army against the pagan multitudes surrounding him, liberals who delight in ruining Christmas and maybe slaughtering a few Christians along the way.

There’s one tiny problem, though. Christians in Hayden and Kootenai County aren’t under siege. They are far and away the dominant religion, and if you doubt that, check out any Christian denomination on any Sunday. It’ll be tough because parking is hard to come by.

Morris isn’t stupid; he knows this. But according to his ideological playbook, all’s fair in religion and politics. He’s only too willing to divide and humiliate our community, much as outsiders tried with the Hitching Post non-story in Coeur d’Alene earlier this year.

The fact is there is no attack on Christmas in Hayden, no belittling of Christians or disrespect toward Jesus Christ. There’s a man in Hayden who’s using a camel, among other props, to start a war that would never happen in a truly Christian atmosphere. Full editorial here.

DFO: As a believer and someone who loves large outdoor Christmas displays, I'm amazed that Morris puts his perceived rights to erect a Christmas display over the concerns of his neighbors and the New Testament directive to love your neighbors. Thoughts?
