I know I've posted something related to this before, then deleted it, but I've found a better site:

Holiday traditions for those of us who aren't satisfied with taking "christ" out of christmas.

WHAT!!! Festivous isn't good enough for you? You don't like the pole or the feats of strength? I can't wait for Festivous dinner so I can tell you all how disappointed I am in you.

A Festivous for the rest of us.

The only problem with my Festivus pole is that it is green, with pointy things sticking out of it, and little miniature "Death Star" and "Enterprise" ornaments hanging off of these pointy things.
Does this still count as a festivus pole?

It appears that what you have on your hands is actually something commonly refered to as a christmas tree. It would also appear that there is something paradoxally wrong with your house, as I have found it to be common experience that Star Trek, and Star Wars things cannot exist in the same area without producing potentially violent reaction.

They must be separated!

That Agnostica stuff is great. Who needs presents when you can have Schroodinger Boxes that may or maynot have gifts?

Well, I've posted my "Happy Agnostica" on the "Rapture Ready" site. What do you think the response will be over there?

quote:
Talking Happy Agnostica, everyone!

from Saturnalia to Christmas, to Xmas to this:Happy Agnostica and reason's greetings to all.

For the beginning of this tradition, see here

I like the part where it says:
quote:"This isn't religion", he Yelled, "So get along! The first lesson of science is That we can be wrong!"

I thought you were switched to "read only" status on that board. Did they switch you back, or was that only for one particular forum?

Looks like they all think it's a joke. How ironic.

Like hell. I still can't get on with my old name! I signed up under a different name, with a different email address. I wonder how long it'll be (since I've admitted it here)! before I get found out and shut out again. Talking with those people is like beating my head against a wall. I'm not going to stick around there much longer, I think.

Anyway, they weren't too enamored of the "Agnostica" idea. Here's their reaction from:

2. Gee, isn't this nice. (has a pukey face here!)

3. Sue makes mental note to add billy_bob_bart to my prayer list...
(she took it in good humor, I think)

4. Friendly reminder to ya billy-bob-bart...

Don't mock.



The topic was locked out, so I stated a new thread to address this FirstCor guy, reaction #4:

quote:
Ya'll misunderstand.

I have no intention of engaging in debate.

My only intention of using the rofl smilie was to laugh at a ludicrous idea.

The whole idea belongs in a supermarket tabloid.


Which idea...Dogs evolving from wolves? Whales evolving from wolves? Or evolution in general?

Yes. To all three questions.

So... :rofl

Don't mock.

When I saw your quote (posted above) from that other thread, that's what I thought about what you had said. If you're going to ridicule decades of work, investigation and research by honest people and reduce it to the level of stuff that people make up for fun in the supermarket tabloids, you have to expect that some would take exception. (and I'm not even one of those who you've slandered!)

I was wondering how to make my point to you when I saw that link. I figured it'd be a good way to get my point across without actually insulting people.

Hopefully now we've seen each others point of view, we don't have to do this anymore.

Well, thanks.

Happy Yule and Agnostica to you.

I wouldn't worry too much about Star Wars and Star Trek ornaments. They only spark idiotic dick waving.... I mean debate on which ships would kick the shit out of other ships across genres.

Well, this is what I got back from that bastard:

quote:
I'll explain in greater detail for you...

Don't mock my God and the way of salvation He has put in place. Don't mock the relationship that is Christianity.

And I WILL laugh in uncontrolable hysterics at the fairy tales put forth by so-called modern science...especially when it goes against what God has recorded in His Word.

Should this actually require more explanation I will be surprised. Or maybe not. Trolls don't surprise me anymore. Annoy me maybe but not surprise. Are you a troll?

Try to surprise me and say you actaully understand what I mean by mocking. Try to surprise me and prove yourself NOT a troll.

That would be a wonderful birthday present.

I have consistently found that all christians will claim to be respectful of others personal beliefs, but this only seems to apply if the other person is a christian as well.

Only if they are the right sort of Christian...don't forget that.
There are usually all sorts of nasty things to be said about Catholics, Episcopalians, Mormons and JWs. Then there are the Christians who are only "spoken" Christians, and the nasty "liberal" Christians and the "word/faith" Christians, and etc., etc.
