Another Slight Against Christ

[CGM]

I don't let religion guide my life in any way, never have, and I've always celebrated Christmas. I find this campaign really odd. To see a sign like that on a bus is weird. Of course a lot of christians are going to be a little upset over it. It just seems uncool for the Humanists to present their case in this way.

A quote from the leader of this "Humanist" Association...

"Our reason for doing it during the holidays is there are an awful lot of agnostics, atheists and other types of non-theists who feel a little alone during the holidays because of its association with traditional religion."

Sounds like horseshit to me. What, did he do a survey or something, or did he just imagine it was so to further his cause? Is their anyone here who knows any atheists or agnostics who would like to celebrate Christmas but don't because of its traditional religeous connotations? Not me, that's for sure.

Christmas is as much, if not more, a secular holiday than it is a religious one. If some atheists or agnostics have a problem with it they can fuck off and grow a thicker skin. I hate this ridiculous PC bullshit.

I'm not sure of your point here. If some atheists or agnostics have a problem with what exactly?

It was regarding this quote.

Tough fucking shit if a religious holiday makes you feel a little alone. It's not even really a religious holiday anymore. No one forces you to view it as such.

I'm just bored. I do find much of this stuff ridiculous though, it can be a bit exasperating.

And why isn't there a picture of a menorah on that sign?
