Merry Christmas.....

To start sorry for the delay in new posts I've been busy and I hope to one at least a few times a week, until I have more time on my hands. Now on with todays topic, a very topical (see what I did there) holiday post.

Now certain (crazy) people on a (ridiculously evil) side of the political spectrum believe there is a "War On Christmas". They think that (remember the following is suppose to be scary) Liberals, Secular Humanists, Socialists, Communists, people with an once of empathy in them and there pawns are out to destroy Jesus or something. So starting every September (since Jesus would have been all about starting the Christmas shopping season as soon as possible) on a particular Faux News Channel owned by some Aussie, they start shouting about how the aforementioned suppose to be evil people (as opposed to the actual evil people who push this idea) are trying to take religion out of Christmas (like the Coke a Cola company, and the soulless drones of 5th Avenue and other famed marketing firms haven't all read).

This preoccupation with making sure you tell every one Merry Christmas, to throw it in there face about how into Jesus you are, is well like all religion dumb. For one Jesus wasn't born on December 25th, December 25th is the Roman Holiday Saturnalia, and several other pagan holidays, also the birth date of Horus the Egyptian god. It goes even further than that in Luke's description of the birth (made famous by Its a Charlie Brown Christmas) he mentions Shepard's in the field tending there flock, the thing is the Palestinian winters are too cold. It is more than possible that Jesus was actually born in the Spring. So that's one reason not to take the whole Jesus born on December 25th with a grain of salt.

Now that being said I tell everyone Merry Christmas, regardless of what religion they are. But why would I do that, especially after telling all of you that its a waste of time. Simply, its because I see Christmas as a secular holiday. It's a holiday that's suppose to about caring, friendship, giving and on top of that all the capitalist commercialism that's been heaped on it. That commercialism its self has practically turned Christmas into a secular holiday. So that's the plan from here on out, fuck these Christians and there bullshit, tell everyone Merry Christmas not because you believe in Jesus, tell them it because were all in it together, and telling someone to be merry and have fun, for all not just a select group of people and most importantly remember everyone to have


A Merry Christmas
