Happy Holidays, y'all.

[StruckingFuggle]

'Cause we're not all Christmas-ians. And we don't need a new thread for every holiday, one will suffice for them all. Christmas gets to be special, but this one is superior because it includes Christmas... among Agnostica, Atheist Children Get Presents Day, Saturnalia, Solstice, Kwanzaa, Haunakkah, Festivus, Season's Eatings, Hide From Santabot Day, whatever you want to celebrate and for whyever.

Peace, love, light, and family be with you all, this month, these holidays, and for the other months of the year, too.

[Plutokiss]

Oh crap; I forgot about Santabot!

/me locks up all the doors and windows a la I Am Legend style.

[Deacon]

And we don't need a new thread for every holiday, one will suffice for them all.

So therefore you create yet another one. Logic takes it from behind once again.

And "agnostica"? Really. That's fucking lame.

[Thorsman]

Thanks Fuggle. A few days ago I started Yule and paid some respects to kin who had passed on.

Funny, a lot of our present Xmas traditions come from Saxon Giuli (their way to say Yule), but I won't go into detail because I don't want to turn this thread into an argument.

[Rorschach]

My God is up there right now, Thorsman, kneeling on Zeus's chest and going 'stop lightning-bolting yourself' while he cries in a funny accent.

I heard there is no Christmas
In the silly Middle East
No trees, no snow, no Santa Claus
They have different religious beliefs

They believe in Muhammad
And not in our holiday
And so every December
I go to the Middle East and say...

"Hey there Mr. Muslim
Merry fucking Christmas
Put down that book the Koran
And hear some holiday wishes.

In case you haven't noticed
It's Jesus's birthday.
So get off your heathen Muslim ass
and fucking celebrate.

There is no holiday season in India I've heard
They don't hang up their stockings
And that is just absurd!

They've never read a Christmas story.
They don't know what Rudolph is about
And that is why in December
I'll go to India and shout...

Hey there Mr. Hinduist
Merry fucking Christmas
Drink eggnog and eat some beef
And pass it to the missus.

In case you haven't noticed
It's Jesus's birthday
So get off your heathen Hindu ass
and fucking celebrate!

Now I heard that in Japan
Everyone just lives in sin
They pray to several gods
And put needles in their skin.

On December 25th
All they do is eat a cake
And that is why I go to Japan
And walk around and say...

Hey there Mr. Shintoist
Merry fucking Christmas
God is going to kick your ass
You infidelic pagan scum.

In case you haven't noticed
There's festive things to do
So lets all rejoice for Jesus
And Merry fucking Christmas to you.

On Christmas day I travel `round the world and say,
Taoists, Krishnas, Buddhists, and all you atheists too,
Merry Fucking Christmas to you!

[Rorschach]

Yes, I know.

[Thorsman]

Rorschach, you and your fucking Weedgie sense of humor

Besides, we all know Zeus kicks the crap out of Yahweh while Yahweh whines like a bitch in Hebrew!
(Hang on! Zeus isn't even part of my pantheon! Zeus-bash all you want. I'll let the Hellenists get into fisticuffs with you. )

[The Cid]

I'd like to believe Fuggle did this for the right reasons, and not just to stir the pot.

Still, even if he did, come on. People who whine about the "Happy Holidays" crowd are every bit as excruciating as those who whine about "Merry Christmas." People have different beliefs and different holidays. WHY is that so damn hard for people who are otherwise not retarded to grasp?! It's the holidays. Can't you be tolerant for one month? (Again, I'm speaking to BOTH sides here.)

Happy holidays, whatever your holiday may be. Be peaceful. Don't be a dick. And don't act like it's so hard to do those things, just this once.

[Thorsman]

*applauds Cid*

Well said, Cid! I agree wholeheartedly. A bit of interfaith respect isn't a bad thing.

[Negative Polarity]

Personally, I liked the Atheist Children Get Presents Day.

[adciv]

That's what their birthdays are for.
