...as a federal holiday.
I have finally reached my gag limit on the stupid, hateful, insecure, assholes who call themselves Christians and demand the the entire country pay homage to their god. These fundamentalists, and I was raised as one, have gone too far in their bullying to get everyone in America to celebrate the non-birthday of their one-third of a god, Jesus. What if you're Jewish? Fuck you. What if you're a Muslim? Fuck you...and get the hell out of our country while you're at it. What if you're an agnostic or an atheist? Fuck you! Gone is the concept - taught to me by my fundamentalist parents - of showing respect for other's beliefs. Gone is any humility or compassion for other people's feelings. They don't really worship Jesus, they refuse to live by his teachings, they just use his name to justify their bullying tactics born of their knowledge that in every other endeavor they are scared, insecure losers.
Well, enough is enough. If you bullies are so fuckin' insistant that the Federal holiday on December 25 be acknowledged and celebrated by EVERYONE as the birthday of Jesus, then this is an unambiguous example of the government promoting religion. This is wrong and as a non-Christian and a citizen of this nation, I demand that the government, my government, recuse itself from promoting Christianity. I REFUSE TO BE BULLIED! Christians can continue to celebrate Christmas, but will no longer get an official day off of work with pay.
So with this, all you bizarre, persecuted, insecure, angry, hateful, miserable people (yes, this includes you O'Reilly!) who want to impose your bizarre beliefs on the rest of us, I say FUCK YOU! I've had it with your bizarre Intellignet Design, your bizarre insistance that all of America's social problems result from a lack prayer in school, that posting the Ten Commandments has some magical power to make this country better. If you want to play hardball, if you want to insist that December 25 must be recognized and celebrated as a religious holiday, let's go to court. The Supreme Court might be able to justify "...under God..." or "In God We Trust" as a generic recognition of a higher power that does not promote one religion over another, but it cannot deny that designating December 25 as the celebration of the birth of Jesus, the source of Christianity, is a case where the state is promoting a single religion. Who knows how the court will rule, but I'm willing to take my chances. Are you?
