In regards of stealing Christmas this year
I'm wondering that instead of hiding it in a non-descript car garage, that we might draw up a rota and each get to take it home for a turn?
Any thoughts?

1. I'm not stealing anything. I believe in Santa Claus.
I will just say the same thing I always do when people accuse atheists of stealing Christmas......Christmas was stolen years ago by all the people who run to the malls, who expect expensive gifts and are disappointed if they don't get them, who think that buying gifts for friends and families is what it is all about, who sell the concept of Santa Claus to their kids. Sure, you go to church Saturday night so it doesn't get in the way of celebrating the gifts, but church isn't your focus no matter what you say. Gifts and a big dinner are what you have on your mind.
So don't blame me.

3. As a good atheist, I have no interest in interfering with anyone's Christmas.
Christmas serves to reinforce the beliefs I have, as someone just pointed out the intense commercialization. It's one of many reminders of why I'm no longer a Christian.

8. I enjoy Xmas...
I get to give gifts, and get them in return. And ham- I love ham. Of course, Jesus probably didn't

Didn't you hear? The DUmmie plan to steal Easter was cancelled because the crosses that you'd have to steal are heavy. It would be too much like work. But I'm sure like a true lib and Democrat you'll still sit around and bitch about Easter.

They'd just burn the crosses in front of the house of any black Republican or Conservative.

Look libs, Christmas is a time for the gov't to collect additional sales tax revenues they wouldn't be getting if it weren't for the holiday. Did that ever pop into your little fragile, egg-shell minds? In light of that, I would ask you to quit complaining, but since unhappiness is what gives you joy I doubt you would.

The only skill most DUmmies ever show evidence of is projection. It's just a shame to see so many humans with so little ability to think, you know? The best they can manage is to darkly discern their own feelings and then project them on everyone else. Tsk, tsk...

Not to mention the revenue the Post Office receives from cards and packages. If the Postal Service goes under the DUches Own It. :-)

Someone pretending to be a Christian is surprised to find people are superficial, materialistic and self-centered?
