HENDERSON COUNTY — A Texas Atheist who threatened a lawsuit if the county didn’t remove a nativity scene from the courthouse lawn is reportedly “flabbergasted” that Christians have offered to help him pay his bills. Christians in Henderson County have raised around $400 to help Patrick Greene, an Atheist who is at risk of going blind in one eye due to a detached retina. The Nativity Scene had been a source of controversy since it was erected last December. Greene ended up dropping his lawsuit when doctors told him about his eye condition. He had to retire from his job driving a taxi and was facing mounting medical bills.

Greene plans on writing a book titled “The Real Christians of Henderson County.”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
