Of course, watching an atheist angered by a lack of morality in the populace is hilarious. People didn't regularly act this way 40 years ago. What changed?
Not everyone proclaiming to be a Christian follows Thou shalt not steal all the time, but more of them have values than the ones raised with....NOTHING.


So what's the reason that all these god-fearing, morally-informed-with-superior-'Christian'-values people engaged in riots? Ummm... maybe it is because the proximate causes of a riot are based on economic and societal conditions and not prevented by a 2000 year old book. Also worth noting in the list is included Bloody Sunday, which, if I remember correctly, was part of a conflict based on rival gangs within your beloved Christianity kicking the shit out of each other.

Er, you get the Monday off every year, May Day Bank Holiday, thanks to paganism.


Every holiday we have in the US is thanks to paganism. You think Jesus was born Dec 25th? Or that he died on a variable day every spring? Or that Halloween has anything to do with a saint? That May Day is tied to Christianity in some obtuse fashion? All were pagan holidays before they were christian so kids, don't forget to tell your mothers that you are thankfully to paganism for having those two weeks off.

Happy Birthday to Cab Calloway (December 25, 1907–November 18, 1994) (Blog Entry by Grimm)

choggie says...

Every Day's a Holiday (1965)-Clive Westlake wrote the lyrics, but Cab does the best version-
There are 4th of Julys in both of your eyes & a Easter Sunday too
'Cause every day is a holiday since the day that I found you
Each heaven on earth day is like a birthday, a May day rendezvous
'Cause every day is a holiday since the day that I found you
They ought to hang the flags out, they ought to close the bank
And though it's not November still I feel like giving thanks
You're a happy new year, a movie premiere, you're a Christmas present too
'Cause every day is a holiday since the day that I found you
