One of the things I noticed not long after becoming an atheist was how much christianity and religion is soaked into the fabric of society. Here are a few glaring examples:
- Taking Sundays off
- Blue States where they won’t sell alcohol on Sundays
- Saying “bless you” when someone sneezes
- Christmas, Easter, St. Valentine’s Day, St. Patrick’s Day, Halloween, All Saints Day, etc., etc….
- Common expressions like oh my god, jesus!, jesus christ, damnit, damn, holy anything, etc., etc…
As an atheist, I wonder, is it necessary to remove and de-christianize ourselves as much as possible? My husband sneezed this morning and I said “bless you.” It’s a habit to say it. I apologized and said, “you’re so good looking” instead. (A Seinfeld episode reference.)
Today has been a great day for building foundations. I’m working on a good follow-up to Be Skeptical, but I really needed to put more time into it than I was able to allow. So it’s half done, waiting for some quiet time where I can get the information and my thoughts together properly.
Rome wasn’t built in a day, after all!
Just wanted to let you know that I’m working on that as well as some other historical information. Comments and suggestions or questions for what you’d like to see go up next are most welcome. So let me know what interests you!
Have a great day! ![]()
I’ve gotten some great suggestions and ideas for HDC already. Keep them coming folks! Here they are so far:
Movies (this is my idea, because I’ve had my eyes opened by some movies)
More to come, I’m sure! We want to help you by giving you interesting information, so you can make the right choice for you regarding organized religion. ![]()
