Atheist who provided ETX Nativity star plans another lawsuit

HENDERSON CO., TX (KLTV) -

The Henderson County Nativity Scene isn't even up yet and a Texas man is, once again, threatening to file a lawsuit to get it taken down.

Earlier this year, Patrick Greene, of San Antonio, said the Nativity scene on the courthouse lawn was unconstitutional. However, after Greene ran into medical problems, he decided not to file his lawsuit after all. Christians in Athens sent Greene and his family money to combat medical expenses. In return, he used some of that money to buy the community a star for the Nativity scene he'd come to accept.

Now, Greene is back and ready to file a lawsuit if the county doesn't follow the stipulations he's adding to the gift.

Last March, the Nativity Star was seen as an olive branch. A community of Christians and two atheists were taken aback by each other's generosity.
