Hey. I "is" Christian. I'm secure in my faith but I find satire funny. Sorry:')
Oh, come on, CS, like you wouldn’t get tire of the Buddhist New Year, Visakah Puja, Magha Puja Day, Asalha Puja Day, Uposatha Pavarana Day, the Kathina Ceremony, Anapanasati Day, Abhidhamma Day, Loy Krathong, the Ploughing Festival, the Elephant Festival, the Festival of the Tooth, Ulambana, Avalokitesvara’s birthday, and Bodhi Day. :-)
Now THAT is funny!
Lighten the hell up.
Thanks for the unsolicited advice. I'll think about why you think I have a "heavy" attitude. Oh never mind, why the heck would I care what you think?
Some of us don't really care for the Christmas season, and this is a good fun thing that makes the holidays a bit more bearable.
Who's stopping you? I haven't even criticized the "celebration". Are we on the same thread?
I'm disapointed in you, and I am certain that I could pin you in a wrestling match.
Your disappointment crushes me. But I fear you couldn't pin me, I never wrestle.
Only once.
Before you can teach, you need to have some knowledge. You flunk.
You know those angels with blowing horns that light up? Well, I put one in each front window. Several people have made a remark about no lights up and one remarked that the angels must have really took me a long time to just stick them in the window. I just shrugged and said I hadn't got around to putting the lights up yet. I then asked if they wanted to hang them for me. No takers. No more comments.:') You might try it. Of course if you bluff you might get decorations but I doubt it.
Freaky looking.
So what is it? Do you believe in God or not? Aren't you proud of your theology? LOL
Are you the one giving or receiving that brutal blow.
I'm not sure on the Statute of Limitations for Canadian law, so I'll just stick with that I might be in that pic.
I'm not hip enough to celebrate Festivus. Plus, I can't come up with some touchy, feely, ego-satisfyingly smug rationale, like Blake Coe.
Lol... I really meant that he would recognize all the lines posted here from the episodes. I don't remember them all. Now, if he could quote the shows line by line, that would be... scary. :-0
Gee, I'm not a "believer" as far as Christianity goes. And I don't feel empty at all. My big holiday happens in the fall, and most of it is spent in a synangogue.
Why do so many Christians feel the need to project emptiness on non Christians? It might be hard for you to understand, but some of us do not feel empty without your religion at all.
You can call Sweetest day a religious holiday, but that won't make it true.
True Christians celebrate Christmas as the birth of the savior.
Others who want to make it Mickey Mouse day can pretend it is, but it ain't.
The poor slobs who try to pervert something they have no control over, delude only themselves. No matter how many time the liberals try to hijack things, they can never succeed in the hearts of the believers. And that is the ONLY place that matters.
So have a ball and do what you will, it has nothing whatsoever to do with me and I couldn't possibly care less.
It's sad to be so empty that you have to tag along to find meaning in life.
Motleygirl can.
I can handle decorations outside (though the modern age of prefabbed blowup crap is pretty obnoxious), don't generally do it but if the wife wants to that's OK, inside is forbidden though. I don't want to bluff them, I want to make them unhappy.
You bet I can ;)
