Nice, but I don't see the meatballs in that display...

In other news, Santa's had a remake this year, and he looks strangely familiar:

Good.

Now all they need is a Bob Dobbs head.

There's at least one person on the planet that the 'flying spaghetti monster' example-joke worked on: ol' Herbie Garrison. Good company for some.

I always get a kick when I see devout antireligionists use 'flying spaghetti monster' as their sorta derisive proof there's no such thing as God. And they seem smug about it, like they've not considered that the joke's on them since Garrison is almost always depicted as the show's example of stupidity and ignorance in society. Good company?

For several years this has been amusing the hell out of me, almost feel bad to let it out now. Merry fuckin Christmas, hayters.

Remember, he boiled for our sins.

I follow a lot of the atheist/science/lefty blogs out there (big surprise!) but I absolutely refuse to go near Hemant Mehta's Friendly Atheist. That blog banner makes the eyes bleed. I don't know what kind of an attempt at a font that is, but it makes Comic Sans look like Times New Roman in comparison.

What a bunch of dicks.

11 Insane Things You Didn't Know About Santa Claus

Why? The dicks here, in my mind, are the ones attempting to gain official endorsement of their personal religion of choice. Just using the law to allow other religions to also do the same thing doesn't seem even remotely dickish to me. Instead, the dickish move is the bastards who constantly attempt to subvert the powers of the state to attempt to force their religion over other people.

People get downright pissy when you strip away their unearned privilege.

So who gets to decide what's a real religion and what isn't?

Yeah, you're right, let's make it Muslim.

Yeah....

The funny thing is the evangelicals in Louisiana freaked the fuck out when they figured out their law about using tax money to fund religious schools would have to include Muslim schools. "But... I don't want my tax dollars going to fund religions I don't like!"

Please elaborate.

It all comes back to you don't think their religion is worthy so, fuck you.

Prove it. Seriously, they put up a display and the only reason you can object is to claim their religious views are not as good as your's. That makes you a dick not them.

@Quest, did you read the atheist displays?

Hey, if Mormonism and $cientology are religions, anything fucking goes.

No, it's just a sign talking about all the secular aspects of Xmas (friends, family, gift giving, meals, fire, etc) which is why I found your comment on the atheist displays, about how there were many non-religious aspects to Xmas to not make sense.

When shitbag religious people are arrogant enough, like you are, to claim their personal religious views are better than other people's then you fucking bet you shitbags are worth being mocked. Arrogant prick attempting to claim you're the personal gate keeper over whither other people's relgious views are valid or not. Seriously, fuck you.

Hmm, not seeing Quest doing what you claim there, Dinner. He's asking some fairly legitimate questions regarding what it is that we're achieving in these displays.
