19. Yah know, ancient societies gave up a lot when they went monotheist.
To replace the ancient pantheons of gods and petty spirits with the bleating rantings of Christianity and Islam was really a mistake.

21. Oh I don't know... depends on your perspective I suppose...
just having the one god makes all the adherents so much easier to manipulate, don't you think?

18. used those last year. i don't want to get stuck in a rut
they're really cool-looking stamps, but the postal clerk at the rural Texas post office kindly informed us that they did not have them in stock, so we had to order them from the USPS website.

27. I do NOT recognize the KitchenWitch installation
Winning with 32% of the vote does NOT sound like the majority was in support of KW but instead KW is nothing more than a sockpuppet installed by YOU!

Then I will distribute flour and sugar to some elders in Arizona around the winter solstice. That should kill O'lieley.

34. time to really up the ante, make stores stop saying "Happy Holidays"!
It's offensive to poor people who can't have a "happy" holiday, or to people who work on the holidays and can't celebrate. Old Billo is actually gullible enough to believe it if there was an Internet rumor seeded.

45. This Sunday, my children's sermon is going to be about Hanukkah.
Honest. My sermon might be, too. Haven't decided. But the children's sermon definitely.


About a non-Christian holiday. In a church. That should send Bill's blood pressure skyward.

Edited on Tue Nov-27-07 06:40 PM by AspieGrrl
I'm a jewish pagan (yes it's possible), but my birthday is Christmas Eve.

Maybe I shall go buy a little birthday tree. And hang ornaments off it. And have people put presents under it...
