6. If I saw someone wearing that button,

8. Well Jesus was a liberal black man
born to a Palestinian Mom in the spring.

But they love the fantasy of what being a Christian means.

Happy Friday everyone.

11. And Easter bunnies and chicks are pagan fertility symbols.
Edited on Fri Sep-16-11 06:15 PM by lindysalsagal
Why don't little christian children ever ask what part the bunny played in the resurrection?

"And lo, when they opened the tomb, there were cadbury wrappers on the floor, but no sign of Christ."

17. Don't forget about that tree!
It was decorated for the winter solstice. And they all deny they were pagan symbols. If they'd read a book that wasn't the Bible, they might actually LEARN something.

12. Oh yes, "good news" from the American Family Association
AFA: I wanna tell you the good news!

Me: The good news? What's that?

AFA (disgustedly): You're going to hell.

Gee, what's the bad news?

14. This year's code-word for the initiation of Operation Christsmash is "Tofurkey."
Use it casually in a sentence, like, "I want to stop christmas, because I hate their freedoms, so, I'm going to make tofurkey for dinner. That will do the trick."

Await further orders. That is all.

16. Crap.
Another season of cranky old people screaming MERRY CHRISTMAS in my face. Why is it they insist on YELLING at me?

Last year, this woman screamed it at me (she wasn't even old, yet...early 50s probably). I quietly said, "Enjoy your holiday".

Her: It's okay to wish me a Merry Christmas back. I won't tell your boss."
Me: He doesn't care if I do or not.
Her: Well, then why won't you say it?
Me: I'm not a Christian.
<she glances at the little tiny star around my neck>
Her: Oh! Well, Happy Hannakuh!
Me: I'm not Jewish.
Her: But, you're wearing the Star of David!
Me: No. My star has 5-points.

She was completely baffled and walked out without a word. She was one of the nicer ones. An old man went on a rant in front of another customer. He said he'd never be back. I was crushed, I tell ya. The best part was when my other customer started laughing at him. He turned bright red and scampered out the door.

18. Proof that christians can't count, or catholic schools are sub-par.
