If objections to injustice and portrayals of kindness to others offend your Christian sensibilities, you're doing it wrong.

Fuck the critics. They're wrong and clearly they're assholes, too.

critics don't know who they worship then

Who cares. Sick of religious zealots forcing their beliefs on others.

Mainstream outlets (like NPR) calling right-wing religious extremists “values voters” for 50 years is how we got here.

Hitler hadde òg Gud ned seg 🤕

Jesus cares about humans, not fucking decorations.

Now that would be something to see ...

Entirely appropriate. tRUMP's intentions are murderous as those of Herod.

Half-assed lede. Both Sides Don't, NPR. "Critics" can put up their own nativity displays; nobody's stopping them.

Every person being illegally kidnapped by ICE, US govt contractors & private equity-owned human warehouses steal food out of the mouths of American families. Violent domestic terrorists masked as dumbsh.t ICE agents get $45,000 "sign up bonuses" as public schools are being targeted for defunding.

This Nativity is most appropriate to those who have actually read and studied scripture. Matthew 2:16-18 After Jesus's birth Herod, King of Judea, ordered the slaughter of all male infants in/around Bethlehem. Herod furious and FEARFUL of a rival king. Sound familiar? Similarities? .. I will wait

Hey @npr.org , they are not gonna give you the money back

Politically divisive —- oh no!!!!!! 🖕’em.

The critics, who you give most voice to, are anti-Christian scum. Congrats on serving Christian fascists, NPR.

Fuck this headline, which gives credence to the assholes who don't know or remember that Jesus was born a refugee under political oppression.

It's about time the church got on the right side of history.

People who use Jesus as a political crutch cry about a nativity scene at a church. Hypocrites.

It is your duty, NPR, to not cast this as a He Said/She Said, but to put in the headline that one side has their religious tradition on their side, and the other side has racism I know you all learned nothing from Trump. But its never too late to reach 5th grade ethics, and pass this time!

Critics wear crosses while not actually act as Jesus said to, so who's abusing sacred imagery?

We’re gonna need an NPR pitchbot, aren’t we?

I used to like NPR, but I can't respect this kind of bullshit. Journalism is dead, and you helped kill it. Congratulations

Kid wrapped in aluminum foil looks like that undocumented immigrant from krypton

Who are the critics, NPR??? The ones who are kidnapping innocent people all over the country’s Home Depot parking lots??? Those critics that we don’t GIVE A FUCK ABOUT because they have the heart of Satan???

I have some bad news for you about Ghandi as a person.

Thank you. “We shall know them by their fruits”

well they can shut the fuck up

If they're worried about churches being politically divisive may I suggest they stop applauding the president and promoting far-right conspiracy theories on Sunday mornings?

When a bigot says something homophobic or sexist & even bigoted laws they say we HAVE TO respect their beliefs because religion. Now we have people expressing compassion because religion so why don't their beliefs have to be respected?

Hey, remember when you motherfuckers had a modicum of journalistic integrity? I know it was a long time ago, but I do have vague memories of it. How about you fuck all the way off with this fascism apologia?

"This (display in Boston) is a grave scandal for Catholics, one said" Have I got news for them.

Reach out to the pope for his comment then ya cowards

Critics of the scene don’t want to be reminded of their complicity in defending anti-Christian dogma that comes from their leaders

"Do not neglect to show hospitality to strangers, for by doing so, some people have entertained angels without knowing it."

Come the fuck ON, NPR. Leviticus 26:1 "You shall not make for yourselves idols, nor shall you set up for yourselves an image or a sacred pillar, nor shall you place a figured stone in your land to bow down to it; for I am the Lord your God."

Critics can fuck allllll the way off

"Most" being the operating conditional. So 'if' is appropriately included.

This is engaging in morality, not politics.

You're failing us with this lazy both sides bullshit, NPR.

The only people abusing people are those from the Department of Homeland Security, namely ICE and the FBI.

Critics say NPR is weak tea

Jesus said love and house foreigners.

"Abusing sacred imagery" You mean like MAGA racists wearing the cross as jewelry?

To paraphrase Dostoyevsky ‘s Grand Inquisitor, there are three powers, three powers alone, able to conquer and to hold captive for ever the conscience of these hard-hearted hypocrites for their happiness-those forces are miracle, mystery and authority, not the teachings of humility and charity.

The critics would have been the Romans who cheered the crucifixion.

The Nativity scene itself is complete fantasy, so it can't be called "sacred." Cherry picking passages of the Old and New Testament to support hate while ignoring passages that exhort love, grace, and compassion tells us everything about your religious beliefs.

What would Jesus say?

So all of the sudden “politically divisive” is a problem for the fascists?

KEEP POLITICS OUT OF MY PLASTIC BABY!

Politically divisive? Maybe those churches should examine their own pulpit before making that statement.

Jesus, masked up, thumbs hooked into his bullet proof plate: “Go ahead. Film me.”

Well, the next time you talk to those “critics,” tell them, for me personally, to go pound sand because they’re full of shit.

Detractors have no problem using religion to broadcast their manifest destiny

Lit was killed for protesting too much

“We have no way of knowing the truth.” #JournalismIsDead

Jesus definitely wouldn't want us to fight injustice, or something.

Sacred images of a man who reportedly said that the way you treat the stranger is the way you treat him.

Critics don’t want imagery abused. People, though …

What is the point of religion if it does not stand up for the oppressed?

We are disappearing people on the daily soooo this is accurate

Seems like you put more words on the sacrilegious side of the scale.

The Archdiocese is really upset about the mistreatment of children. No... sorry, just one PLASTIC child.

critics are full of shit and need to stfu and you need to stop entertaining them

Magas love the first amendment until someone says something they don't like

Headline just says, “critics say” not that they’re correct.

It’s in the New Testament as well: Matthew 25:35: “For I was hungry and you gave me something to eat, I was thirsty and you gave me something to drink, I was a stranger and you invited me in”

Yeah, but the real question is what Paul said about all that. “Don’t let a woman teach men”? “It is an abomination for a man to lie with a man”? Nothing about camels or needles, but I think the upshot is to blame the poor for being poor.

"It is easier for a camel to pass through the eye of a needle than for a nonbeliever to enter the kingdom of God."

Supply side Jesus. LoL 😂

Churches finally delivering Jesus’ message? The Antichrist must be in the neighborhood.

You know, NPR, given the religious story of Christmas, you can just outright call this BS, right?

Fuck ICE but also the Bible is made up & there are no gods so calm down

Not only is it religious expression, it’s freedom of speech. Sorry. It’s constitutional.

Nothing and I mean nothing is more sacrilegious than these fucking Christofascists.

Jesus was politically divisive and his family has to come a long way to Jerusalem. Critics should know the king of Judea did try to kill Jesus

republicans should, in fact, shut up.

ICE is abusing sacred humanity.

The bible describes genocidal activity.

Because deporation policies the critics support ARE sacrilegious and it that IS causing the division. It's like your headline is stupid.

In "The Bible, Illustrated" there are actual photos of Jesus and Mary in the manger without Zip ties, right ... ? 😜

Let's compare sacrileges.

Fuck the critics. They're unchristian anyway.

It should be "live and let live" from all sides.

Oh. Right. Sacred imagery. Like a guy nailed to a cross? That's okay, but a baby with zip-tied hands is beyond the pale?

The church has repeatedly claimed that there's no sacred imagery

Jesus was not a white person! He was a brown Jewish man from an African country, and 100% this is what ICE would do to Jesus if he lived in the United States right now! #AbolishICE

It’s a church bro

Nothing screams hypocrite quite like Christian outrage.
