You know, it's far from me to criticize an atheist but gawd are they becoming just as annoying the Christians they claim who are somehow "victimizing" them by simply putting up a Nativity scene. And Gervais is nothing more than one lucky drunken cunt. Unfunny, too.

Like I said, round up every Christian and atheist, put them on an island together somewhere far, far away from the rest of civilization armed them both to the teeth and let them fight it out while the rest of us live in peace for once without having to endure another word of their rhetoric bullshit.

I still like the traditional Christmas. I think people go way overboard on the commercialism of it. I think the atheists are too anal about fighting it. But I love Christmas when not overdone. People just need to relax and have some fun. Jesus was long replaced by Santa Claus anyways. Ho! Ho! Ho!

[ZahZoo]

I agree there's no victimization by putting up a nativity scene... What makes atheists think exclusion and out-right banning things that are part of the American cultural fabric is a viable approach. So you don't believe in celebrating that way... live and let live.

Isn't that what freedom is all about..?

Atheists don't use "rhetoric bullshit", they simply don't believe in fairy tales. It's as simple as that.

I don't feel "victimized" at all with this issue, regardless of anyone's religion... If you want to believe in the talking snake and fork over your hard-earned money week after week to the guy with the BMW's and the mansion(s), feel free....

Exactly. It's often the people who say they want diversity that want to actually stop everyone else from enjoying diversity because they don't agree with their particular diversity.

[Kristy]

Yes they do. I have yet to meet an atheist who doesn't moan and bitch at the first sight of a crucifix.

[lesfunk]

That's because Atheism has turned into a Religion.

Hi, I'm VA, nice to meet you....

I choose that ANY religion doesn't effect ME. My opinion that all religion is the biggest scam and waste of time and money in the history of mankind is just that, my opinion.

But it's just that, I don't give a flying fuck about any religious symbols at all, as long as they keep it out of my space.....

[Nitro Express]

Not all atheists but the ones who support communism are being pulled into that lie again. Communism is trying to come back in a big way. Most the school kids today have no idea what they are supporting. They need a good chat with someone who had to escape East Germany, Cuba, or flee Cambodia to learn what the schools failed to teach them.

[Kristy]

Hi, I'm VA, nice to meet you....

Oh, you say that now but I have my suspicions.

[Nitro Express]

I wished people a Merry Christmas in San Francisco and it really pisses a lot of them off. They will go,"We say Happy Holidays here." The Mexicans are still into it though. You can wish them Feliz Navidad and they are cool with it. The Mexicans are taking over California anyways so Happy Holidays will be replaced with Feliz Navidad in the future.

[DONNIEP]

At my office we had to stop calling the Christmas party the Christmas party. And within two years everybody quit going. We were actually told not to say Merry Christmas to each other cause it might offend somebody. What a load of shit. If your particular religion has a holiday that gives out presents then I'm all for it! Besides, to most people Christmas is Santy Claus, and parties and presents and booze. All the good stuff. What's not to like. :)

[lesfunk]

I never understood what's so offensive about wishing another person well through the prism of a Pagan/Christian/Retail
view anyway....

[Nitro Express]

Most atheists I know come from really religious families. Basically they are just rebelling from having religion forced on them when they were growing up. Most are either former Mormons or Catholics. I have found most to be very bitter people and not much fun. They need to get over it and get on with life. Atheists want to get in your face more and argue. Agnostics on the other hand are simply non religious people and have an open mind. An atheist for the most part is a hurt person lashing out on others.

People offended are little people. As Dave said in his book, you are as big as what offends you. I doubt people are going to give up their time off work and the retail stores are going to give up on their sales to make the atheists happy. What are they offering? Boredom and no fun. Good luck with that. Just angry bitter people trying to make themselves happy by trying to make the rest of us miserable.

How do you define agnostic v atheist.

Agnostics are atheist and vice versa.

I have a hard time with the establishment and like to ruffle feathers. I would still say Merry Christmas! and if I got fired I would sue over discrimination. At this point in time, Merry Christmas! is very rock and roll because it spits in the face of the establishment. LOL! Be a rebel. Say Merry Christmas!

[fraroc]

On Yahoo Awnsers, fugghetaboutit!!! (yea im from NY) The athiests there are honestly no better than those whacko Christian fundamentalists. I believe in God and the afterlife, but I am for the most part pretty non-religious. However many of the athiests on Y!A start a shitstorm when someone mentions the afterlife.

For example: It dosen't matter if this guy is an Athiest, this guy is just an asshole for saying this to a little girl. "Stop believing in some imaginary sky daddy, you delusional retard. There are no gods, no heaven or hell, no jeebus, no angels or devils. Your grandmother is dead and she's never coming back. After you die there is nothing. Cry me a river, build a bridge and GET OVER IT! Stupid religious retard, go back to your anti-gay rally!"

And this bitch 'Desiree-No Respect 4 Religion' posts this on almost every question concerning God, Jesus, the afterlife, ghosts, spirits, mediumship and anything metaphysical. I mean, it's one thing if this is what you belive, but to spam this all over Y!A kills all of her credibility for me. "Spirits are just as non-existent as mythical afterlife concepts. It's reality or a choice between myriad delusions that are all as bonkers as each other. Atheists choose reality (oh really, bitch. I believe in God yet I am able to differentiate between fantasy and reality)."

And I do not hate Athiests. Several of my good friends do not believe in God or anything that requires any sort of faith, and they have ZERO issues with me believeing in God. It's just the trolls on Y!A that piss me off.

"Atheists are TERRORISTS!!!"



Virginia official labels atheists as 'fanatical terrorists'

Published: 1 December, 2012, 00:51
Edited: 1 December, 2012, 00:51

A Virginia official referred to a group of atheists as ‘terrorists’ after one of the group’s members criticized a local courthouse for putting up religious holiday decorations.

Ken Reid, a supervisor who represents Virginia’s Leesburg District, was angered by the atheists’ reaction to the Christmas decorations on the lawn of the Leesburg courthouse, the Washington Times reports.

Over the years, the courthouse decorated its facility by hanging a Skeleton Santa Claus from a cross and featuring paintings that show the manger birth of the Flying Spaghetti Monster as well as the traditional birth of Jesus. The lawn this year also contained a Christmas tree and a menorah. Such decorations have been displayed at the courthouse every year since 2009, when the Loudon County Board of Supervisors lifted a ban on courthouse holiday displays, allowing any religious group to contribute decorations.

But this year, the board banned unattended displays by outside groups and instead put up its own decorations. This winter the American Atheists also planned to contribute attended displays, but AA leader Rick Wingrove believes his group was denied the same amount of access to the grounds.

“The board made it really onerous for everyone but religious groups to put up displays. We will not have the exposure as in the past,” he told the Times.

Wingrove also told NBC4 that the Board of Supervisors seemed to favor Christian groups and made it more difficult for other groups to access the lawn.

Angered by the perceived bias against them, the atheist group emphasized the importance of separating church and state. The atheist reaction triggered a hostile response from Reid, who is now under scrutiny for calling them “fanatic terrorists.”

“None of the religious organizations in the county have had any problem with what we’re doing,” he told the Times. “It’s strictly this group of terrorists. They’re fanatics who basically want to stamp out religion in all public life and property.”

Reid also accused the Atheists of destroying holidays.

“[This is] another example of putting fingers in the eyes of shoppers and businesses and trying to make a mockery of Christmas holidays – that’s what they’re really about. They’re hell bent on trying to destroy people’s holidays,” he said.

Reid’s offensive remarks were quickly condemned by other Loudon County officials, prompting an apology from the Leesburg supervisor.

“We have to be very sensitive here in Leesburg to tossing around works like ‘terrorism’ when there are neighbors who have actually held themselves against the terrorists in the line of battle,” Loudon County Democratic Committee Chair Evan Macbeth told NBC4.

Reid apologized for his statement on Tuesday, but stood by his initial remark that the atheists are “fanatical.”

Christmas is the time of year when people buy each other presents, and get some time off from work to get ripped.

That's ALL it is.

If other peeps want to think Satan is miserable on that day, or Jebus was hatched on that day or their dog can talk at midnight or the earth is flat....more power to 'em.

I wake up in the morning. Have something to eat. Drink my morning goddamn coffee, and get on with my motherfucking day.

JUST LIKE ANY OTHER FUCKING DAY! :hee:

An agnostic doesn't claim certainty.... unlike everyone else on this planet..

Guess why it is called "faith".....because you don't know shit about what is really fact. No one does.

[LoungeMachine]

Yes they do. I have yet to meet an atheist who doesn't moan and bitch at the first sight of a crucifix.

Do you charge extra for those?

:gulp:

Or is that part of the whips and chains package?

[Nitro Express]

An agnostic is a hypocritical atheist.... next question....

Not really. An agnostic is a person who just doesn't know if god exists or not. They are in neutral so to speak. An atheist says they know god does not exist. Basically you have to have faith that there is no god to be an atheist where an agnostic doesn't have faith in anything.

For a lot of people it's the big family holiday. It's when the parents are off of work and the kids are out of school. A lot of families will go on their vacation over the holidays. Then of course you have family traditions which are great.

I worked the last couple of Christmas days but am off this year .I've two kids so this year am gonna fucking throw the kitchen sink at Christmas . Got my folks coming over the works .
Am gonna enjoy it and more to the point my little rug rats are gonna .

Dude - that's the best thing on Earth! There's nothing like seeing 'em wake up and be all amazed at what Santy Claus brung 'em!! Class all the way. Back when my kid still believed we had a tradition where Santy would hide one present. And now, even tho she knows the deal, she still enjoys looking for that one hidden present. Good times, damn good times :gulp:

[Hardrock69]

Lol. Go for it dude. Make it the greatest Christmas of your life. The kids will always thank you for it! :hee:

At least when I was growing up, I DID have Christmases.....and was allowed to uh...believe in the traditional mythology......something every kid should be able to do, lol.

[vandeleur]

It's all good , but it's not just for the kids . I may raise a toast or two to my brethren here at the army :D

Christmas...


when I was little it was magic....pure magic.

Mom would get us to help in making ornaments, making cookies, decorating the tree, listening to old Christmas albums. And Christmas eve we would go to Grandparents house for such a terrific meal and get to open the gifts from them. Then the drive home Dad would always point out Santas sleigh with Rudolphs red nose out front so we had to hurry home to bed. I didn't realize until later that the San Diego airport flightpath was on our way home & those rudolph noses were incoming flights.

When I got a little older it became a time when everything changed and I was the one who enjoyed giving one great gift to each person. Something that when they'd open it they would grin ear to ear, laugh out loud, maybe tear up...something that they would remember as the best gift that year from anyone. I put a lot of effort into it and would really get some great gifts for people that meant alot to them.

Now I'm much older, don't have friends around, grandparents & mom are gone, no dogs to stick reindeer ears on, no family worth a phone call, and no huge meal to look forward to. With those gone all I see is the commercialism, politics, and fighting between religious & non religious types over a time of year that used to be special. No reason to play along any more for me. Makes me sad when I hear of people spending more time in line before a store opens up than at home gathered on the couch watching Charlie Brown. Sad indeed.

[DONNIEP]

My traditional Christmas afternoon involves a coupla Black Velvets. All shall be raised to the Army. The last few perhaps more so than the first :) :gulp:

It's what you want to see in it. Christmas is a family holiday and over the years families have fallen apart and that reflects in the disfunction of society. Christmas is also a charitable holiday where a lot of people do a lot of good helping others. If anything, just trying to be a better person over the holiday season and going out of your way to help someone makes you feel better than the commercialized bit of it.

The smell of highly chlorinated hot tub water. The steam rising. the feel of a naked girl next to you and smell of the wine the both of you have been drinking. The smell of her skin and hair.

This is what I'm talkin about.

[Seshmeister]

This atheist/agnostic thing seems to cause a lot of confusion. The easiest way to think of it is the answer to 2 questions.

Question 1. Is there a god?

Atheist answer is 'I don't know'.
Agnostic answer is 'I don't know'.

Question 2. Do you believe there is a god?

Atheist answer is 'No'.
Agnostic answer is 'I don't know'.


According to the rules of the major organised superstitions the invisible sky daddy is going to treat both the exact same anyway, after all they get no money or extra power over from an agnostic.

I agree. But the problem is nowadays every woman is a whore in the bedroom and so very few are a lady in public. Back in my grandparents time it was the opposite. I think men are largely responsible for the shift as we pushed women more & more to be whores for us & cared less and less about taking them to nice dinners, art galleries & cocktail parties.

I miss Blonde Girl :( She helped class up the joint here for sure.

The smell of highly chlorinated hot tub water. The steam rising. the feel of a naked girl next to you and smell of the wine the both of you have been drinking. The smell of her skin and hair. That's a great smell too. All that mixed in with the cold mountain air, the snow, and the clear star filled sky above.

Nah, Hot Tub Time Machine has been playing regularly on Comedy Central since the second week of November, so consider the source.

Are you implying Nitro is just a rerun waiting for a story to be told..? ;)

Christmas...


when I was little it was magic....pure magic.

Mom would get us to help in making ornaments, making cookies, decorating the tree, listening to old Christmas albums. And Christmas eve we would go to Grandparents house for such a terrific meal and get to open the gifts from them. Then the drive home Dad would always point out Santas sleigh with Rudolphs red nose out front so we had to hurry home to bed. I didn't realize until later that the San Diego airport flightpath was on our way home & those rudolph noses were incoming flights.

When I got a little older it became a time when everything changed and I was the one who enjoyed giving one great gift to each person. Something that when they'd open it they would grin ear to ear, laugh out loud, maybe tear up...something that they would remember as the best gift that year from anyone. I put a lot of effort into it and would really get some great gifts for people that meant alot to them.

Now I'm much older, don't have friends around, grandparents & mom are gone, no dogs to stick reindeer ears on, no family worth a phone call, and no huge meal to look forward to. With those gone all I see is the commercialism, politics, and fighting between religious & non religious types over a time of year that used to be special. No reason to play along any more for me. Makes me sad when I hear of people spending more time in line before a store opens up than at home gathered on the couch watching Charlie Brown. Sad indeed.

Damn. Out of thanks...thanks :thumbup:

We should have a thread - scents of the 80s. It would be dominated with the mingled scents of Stiff Stuff hairspray, cigarettes and orange California Coolers...

This was my favourite:

I agree. But the problem is nowadays every woman is a whore in the bedroom and so very few are a lady in public. Back in my grandparents time it was the opposite. I think men are largely responsible for the shift as we pushed women more & more to be whores for us & cared less and less about taking them to nice dinners, art galleries & cocktail parties.

I miss Blonde Girl :( She helped class up the joint here for sure.

You gotta have the yin with the yang or the whole thing goes out of balance. You have to balance the whore out with sophistication and goodness. The class was coming back in the 80's. We were recovering from the slob hippie years and then dropped the ball with the grunge thing and never got it back.

"Forget the Grinch, kids. Gather 'round to hear a new holiday tale of woe: How Ronald McDonald Stole Christmas.

Yep, it looks like employees of the nation's biggest burger chain are about to get royally Scrooged this year.

[Nitro Express]

If people don't like it the solution is simple. Don't eat at McDonald's. I love it when people complain about a corporation and then later you see them doing business with them. Don't bitch about Walmart and then shop there. People are such hypocrites.

[ELVIS]

I haven't bought a thing from McDonalds in years and it was rare before that...

I could give a fuck what they do...

Stop eating their garbage and let 'em fail...

[FORD]

It's been several years since I've set foot in a McDonalds, and I'd never even consider going there on Christmas.. Oddly enough though, there's a Mickey D's, a Burger King, and a Jack in the Box all within a 2 block radius of each other a couple miles south of here, and I swear to God they had long lines of cars in the drive thru when I drove past there last Christmas. Can't remember if the same was true at Taco Hell, which is behind the Jack in the Box.

Of course this was mid morning, and this is right next to the freeway, so I suppose maybe this was mostly people fortifying themselves with caffeine and maybe a little food to survive the road trip to grandma's house for dinner or whatever. Ironically enough, the Starfucks in the same block was closed.

But if Mickey D's and these other greedy bastards are going to be open on the most "sacred" holiday of the year, then the very least they can do is pay their employees overtime for it.

[ELVIS]

They get paid well enough at McDonalds...

And they probably have Christmas bonuses as well...

A friend of mine was bitching about Well Fargo Bank and how they were mistreating him and ripping him off. I asked if he had taken his money out of their bank and he said no. Basically he was willing to take it up the ass because he was too lazy to do anything about it.

[Nitro Express]

One of these days Wendy's and Jack in the Box are going to merge. They will change the name to Wendy's Box. Wendy's Box where the meat is hot and juicy.

[ELVIS]

Or Jack in Wendy's Box™

Hey, Wendy's should buy that jingle for their sloppy cheese triple or whatever...

The super sized squirting triple combo meal.
