davidologyOkay, I'm so sick of these fundie idiots bitching about companies not saying "Merry Christmas." First, let me say, I'm not offended by someone saying "Merry Christmas," and up until now, I just didn't care. But now? Now just because these whiney little self righteous, uptight bitches want to get their panties all in a wad, now I care. Now, I will deliberately say "Happy Holidays" and bitch when someone plays "Silent Night."
Why? Just to piss you the fuck off.
What I don't understand is: WHY DO YOU CARE?!
Honestly, wtf is it to you if someone says "Happy Holidays"? How is that so effing horrible? How terrible that we might not want to make someone feel uncomfortable. I mean, is your faith so weak that someone telling you "Happy Holidays" will shake your belief structure to its core?
Seriously, STFU. I can't wait until you all die off, and we can go back to watching Janet Jackson's boob on TV and playing video games without your incessant bitching. In fact, I have an idea for Rockstar Games: Grand Theft Auto: 700 Club. So instead of you calling for people's assassination in the name of Jesus, we can virtually drive around Liberty City mowing your asses down while you're off having sex with prostitutes.
You didn't see me bitching when YOU refused to celebrate "Talk Like A Pirate Day" for the Flying Spaghetti Monster, did you?
Anyway, I'm starting my new campaign. I want Xmas returned to its original, pagan holiday celebrating the winter solstice. Seriously, all you religious nut jobs, go fuck yourselves with the manger baby. YOU'RE the ones ruining Christmas for everyone. Maybe if you tried buttsecks, you wouldn't be such uptight assholes.
plsdiekthx,
Management

Date: 2005-12-22 09:07 pm (UTC)perhaps we should send the nutjobs who want to "save" christmas from "demise" to a bdsm club, where they could REALLY follow in Jesus' footsteps - there they could be stripped, whipped, and nailed up spreadeagle, by military-types, just like Jesus was.
then maybe the nutjobs would be too otherwise engaged and would be forced to STFU.

Date: 2005-12-22 09:44 pm (UTC)I agree wholeheartedly with your rant. This is all a bunch of crap cooked up by Fox News. Speaking of which, the head of Americans for the Separation of Church and State called Foxisto John Gibson a liar. You can read about Gibson going nuts here

Re: Pointless
Date: 2005-12-23 03:20 pm (UTC)To a religious conservative, of course, it matters VERY MUCH that a holiday geniunely represents what it says it represents: in the case of Christmas, that is the birth of Jesus of Nazareth.
I understand what you're saying: that what really matters is the symbolism and the spirit of things. But come on... that's like saying that what really matters about Genesis is the symbolism, and that it doesn't matter whether all of creation was really accomplished in six actual days or not.
But, of course, is an assertion you might also agree with... but religious conservatives would disagree.

Re: Pointless

It doesn't really matter to me when we celebrate Christmas, though - it's just symbolic, and I like it that way.

Date: 2005-12-23 02:18 am (UTC)I've been perfectly content to remind people that "Jesus was born in like September or something," and that "this holiday was Saturnalia before the Christians arbitrarily co-opted it. So just chill out, ok?"
