Thanks for the laugh, I needed that! I picked up on the meaning of that right away !!

I was in the Save-a-Lot store in Walhalla couple of weeks ago; when I finished checking out, the clerk said Merry Christmas. The asshole in line behind me said "that shit offends me". I turned to him and told him he'd get over it once he wiped his ass. Didn't have a quarter.

Christian fundamentalists are easily offended. What can you do.

[Vrede too]

Funny, same thing happens to me when I wish folks a Happy Saturnalia.

Everyone is in the spirit.

North Carolina neighborhood shocked by KKK Christmas message

"merry white Christmas"

Try explaining to them that the stockings they leave by the fireplace are supposed to be filled with carrots, straw, or sugar for Odin's (or Woden's, for Germanic folks) flying horse Sleipnir to eat. Explain the pagan origins of Yule logs, Christmas trees, mistletoe, the winter solstice date of Christmas, and of course Odin/Woden/Santa himself.

Enlightened, they can only thank you!

(Granted, like the Puritans before them, they may declare war on Christmas.)

That makes no sense at all, stupid-ass.

Leave to some asshole to explain his reason for being an asshole in the first place. Impress us more with your vast wealth of knowledge.

I'll leave the asshole obsession to you.

Christian fundamentalists these days are obsessed with their "War on Christmas" fantasy.

17th century American and British Puritans had laws forbidding the celebration of Christmas (because of its many pagan elements.) By the Declaration of Independence in 1776 it was not widely celebrated in the US.

Congress didn't take the day off to celebrate the holiday, and even held its first session on Christmas Day 1789. Some American schools continued to hold classes on December 25 until 1870, when Christmas was finally declared a holiday by Congress.

If there was ever a war on Christmas, it was by fundamentalist Christians and Christmas won.

[Vrede too]

Now, like the GOP soon will with gay rights (as rstrong has been saying), the fundamentalist Christians declare that they've always supported Christmas. It's funny how flexible "fundamentals" can be.
