"Okay, but if it were practical, don't you think those cities and towns should change their names?"

I think you are right, we gotta do away with all of this religious crap. All cities whose name start with Saint, Santa, Santo, San, Sante, Sainte must change their names. All cities wherein all or part of the name are mentioned in the Bible or are names of religious fugures must be changed. The state of Maryland must remove "Mary" from its name and must heretofore be call "Land". (Damn those Catholics for starting a state!) All street names that have any form of "saint" in the name must be changed. And the abbreviation for street - "st." must stop being used because it might confuse and offend someone, (probably, only morons would be offended...but what the heck, we gotta protect them, too). And what about those f***ing churches and synagogues that you can see while driving down a PUBLIC street...we gotta build walls around them...sh*t!, we might as well build domes over them so they can't be seen from the air. And NO, you can't put a cross or star of David on to of the dome! What the hell are you thinking....oops, I forgot, "hell" is a religious concept so we can't use that word either ....and we can't use the word "devil" either....and all schools that use "devil" as all or part of their mascot name must change it to some inanimate, natural, nonreligious object such as a grain if sand or clod of dirt. Oh yea, people who have names of religious origin will have to change them officially on the government records and you will not be allowed to use the religious name in public. Well sh**, almost all names are religious in origin so I guess we'll have to start numbering people! Damn it, I forgot, numbers have religious origins and meaning, too. So we'll just have to give everyone a symbol, like "the artist formerly known as Prince"....and no religious symbols!!! No moons or stars....as a matter of fact, we need to make it illegal to look up at the moon and stars until we can figure out a way to encapsulate the earth to block the view.

Okay, now we gotta take care of that damned calendar. All of those day names and months that are related to gods and religion (Sorry, Woden, Thor, Frig and Saturn...you're history...except we can't mention you in history because mentioning religion is wrong.) And what about the Gregorian calendar, we gotta come up with a new calendar and system of time. Maybe we should just do away with time altogether....time tramples on peoples rights to spend time (there's that "time" thing that keeps offending me) thinking about new ways to be offended.

Sheesh, it looks like we are going to have to go back to living in caves......and no drawing religious figures on the cave walls!

We need to re-write the Declaration of Independence, too, what with all that pesky "endowed by their Creator" business.
