Seasonal Displays Being Looted
Hostility to Religion Or Profit Motive?

WOODSTOCK, Ill. -- The ranch house here where Marc Moxon and his family live is a sparkling winter wonderland: trees garlanded in glittering lights, illuminated plastic penguins, polar bears and other characters dotting the lawn, even a reindeer-drawn sleigh on the roof.

But the glowing plastic Joseph and Mary and the three wise men sitting in front of the house look dejected. The manger between them is empty, as it has been since someone swiped the baby Jesus two weeks ago. Several days earlier, a sign was left at the house asking, "Would Jesus use this much electricity?"

"After they left the sign, we weren't that surprised to see him stolen," Moxon said. "We heard they had some at the police station. Maybe we'll go look down there."

Just a block from Moxon's home in this community about 60 miles north of Chicago, another house suffered a similar fate. A jolly Santa Claus is projected on the garage and two reindeer bob their heads on the lawn, but the manger by the front door is empty.

4. I saw that, but...

Didn't have a week to devote to reading it all to find a place to jump in.

2. Cut scene to

Inside basement morgue, a dimly-lit, windowless room lined with refrigerators.

Coroner: Mr. Moxon, I know this is difficult. But we need you to identify the baby.

Moxon: I understand.

Coroner walks to a wall, opens a door and slides out a gurney.

Coroner: Is this your Jesus?

Moxon (breaking down, sobbing) Yes, Doctor. That's him. Even without his 40 watt glow, I'd recognize him anywhere.

3. I thought the manger was supposed to be empty in nativity scenes

until Midnight of Christmas eve.

5. I smell another fake.

I'm surprised there wasn't an assault on a 3 year old by these same liberals.

6. this happens every year...

and every year the news media makes a big stink about it...every time they do...someone out there will go out and do something like this so they can watch the news and get some type of satisfaction by hearing about what they did...
