So I am sick and miserable with a nasty holiday cold. I can’t sleep so I thought I’d share the latest Mr. Deity with you. Happy Holidays Everyone! See below for funny holiday lolcats for even more cheer! Mr. Deity and the Magic, Part Deux Merry Freaking Catmas, Damnit.
My friend AJ sent me this picture and I had to share it with you, after my brain stopped fizzling:
What is the reasoning here? “Let’s celebrate the birth of our savior, but let’s make sure we focus on his crucifixion at the same time? What would easter look like then? Would you have to mix holiday symbols there too? Update: Here’s the news story that explains the above image. Of course, the bible mentions the “christmas” tree in the old testament, and they aren’t too keen on it: Jeremiah 10:2-4: “Thus saith the LORD, Learn not the way of the heathen, and be not dismayed at the signs of heaven; for the heathen are dismayed at them. For the customs of the people are vain: for one cutteth a tree out of the forest, the work of the hands of the workman, with the [...] As atheists, it would be neat to have fun holiday traditions just for us. I saw this comic and thought I’d share it with you. Do you have any other ideas for things godless heathens could do for the holidays?
I just read an article by Staks Rosch in the Philadelphia Examiner about the FSGP and their Tree of Knowledge. It’s an evergreen tree decorated with book covers (how shocking, how impudent!) from books representing knowledge, education, science, philosophy, morality, diversity and curiosity. (I am so offended! What? No Twilight?! No Dan Brown?!) Here is a complete list of the books represented. Staks makes some points that I really like: “[The Tree of Knowledge] is not an attack on religion, but rather an expression of an alternative set of values (i.e. knowledge and reason).” How horrific! Now I understand why the good christians of the area are so up in arms, vandalizing the tree and organizing call campaigns [...]
December 25 is close to the Winter Solstice which has been an important event for ages. It’s the longest night of the year. December 25 was the Roman Winter Solstice upon establishment of the Julian calendar. We now have the Gregorian calendar which put the Winter Solstice to December 21st – 22nd. Many cultures recognized this Longest Night with holidays, festivals, gatherings, [...] Hey Everyone! Sorry for the delay in posting but things got a bit crazy here. My friend Will and I were interviewed for WV Public Radio the other day and that kept me busy getting ready. I will be sure to link you to the broadcast when it goes live next week. It was regarding our billboard and new organization, the Morgantown Coalition of Reason, that I’ve mentioned. It’s been keeping me quite busy. Anyway, the other thing that has kept me busy is thinking of the holidays that are fast approaching. While I like getting together with friends and family and celebrating, I don’t like the religious nature of it all (of course). One thing that really frustrates me is the card selection. So I decided to try my hand at designing some irreverent cards! I dug through my favorite winter pictures that I’ve taken over the years, [...] Let’s be honest, being an atheist on a religious holiday isn’t very much fun. I have to behave myself around family. Half of them are great people, but the other half are fundamentalist bible-thumping hypocrites. It’s tedious at the best of moments, torturous at the worst. So here is some easter humor for you: If the zombie easter bunny attacked you, I’d feel eggstra sad. Jesus Christ, King of the World, the Coming Resurrection, Sunday March 11, 2pm…. CANCELLED
Me so thorny… LOL!
Thanks for dying Jesus, this candy is AWESOME!
