For all you lurking conservative Godsters...I'm an atheist, yet I enjoy Gospel and Christmas carols.
Get off your God-damned high horse and accept that I'm not warring on your "Christmas," a pagan holiday in a fancy wrapping. I'm just intelligent enough to understand our constitution when it says you can have all the religion you want, but don't me me pay taxes to support it or force my Muslim, Jewish, Buddhist, Wiccan friends (or anyone else) to stand in prayer with you. I'll listen to my Alison Kraus, and Christmas tunes and I'll put up a little dead tree and do the Advent calendar gifts for my granddaughter. Because it's fun and quaint, blah blah. I also occasionally dress up on Halloween...it doesn't mean I actually believe in bogeymen -- as you seem to. Get over yourselves.
That must be pretty entertaining to see some freak dressed up as Santa Clause running around town tearing down Christmas decorations all while singing gospel style Christmas carols and screaming about hating Christians.

8. I'm an atheist who used to turn into kickass gospel music on the way home from work because it was the only stuff loud and uplifting enough to keep me awake on the road. And yes, I used to bellow right along with it.
Putting on Groucho glasses to give out candy on Halloween doesn't mean I'm a closet male.
Sometimes good music is good music and sometimes Groucho glasses are just to make the kids laugh.
I've known quite a few churchgoing atheists from Europe over the years who say they go to church to connect with the past, not because they believe a single word of the dogma.
I understand your rant completely. The only closet we atheists are ever in is the "I'm just not religious" one that seems to comfort the believers.

6. It's a spectacal. Like a Broadway show...why do I have to believe it's real to enjoy it?
The Fox-ites and crazy fundies need to get a grip.
You forgot the ass less chaps on Santa, the lesbian elves, and a limping dog that got buggered when the Raindeer ran away.**** it. That made me laugh.
Why do they think they are atheists when they worship their messiah Obama?

12. I hope you have a peaceful and joyous holiday season.
I hope you are surrounded by those who love you and who treasure your love.
I hope you take the opportunity to think of those less fortunate and do something positive to help them.
In short, I hope you revel in the spirit of the holiday season.

<<<was seven years old the last time misspelled "spectacle."

Hmmmm.
I see the twin corrected his spelling of "spectacal".
After I pointed it out. See? I said he was here.
Now, I have a question for hearing people.
While I'm writing, no matter what it is, I'm pronouncing, audibly or inaudibly, each word, actually moving my lips and stuff. It's something I learned in speech therapy years ago, as I can't hear words.
Is "spectacle" pronounced that way, "spectacal"?
No...it's a reach, but if one were to insert an "a" in between the c and l one might get away with it.
**** it. That made me laugh.Me, too.
Well, the nearest I can figure it out, it's pronounced "speck-ti-cul," which of course leads to the correct spelling, "spectacle."
The twin's always had a problem with spelling; I wonder if it'd help if he pronounced words as he wrote them.
Heh, I use chrome, it beats me up pretty good in the spelling department.
Actually, it causes me pause so that I don't have to see that dreaded squiggly red line.

Who? I never heard of her/him/it.
But you see, Atman used to work in the cut-and-paste (back when they actually had to cut things out of paper, and paste them to another piece of paper) department of a women's wear magazine, which to some extent apparently involved proof-reading too.I am soooo, not touching that. Nope.
He's pretty anal when other primitives misspell words.
If he's going to bitch about the way other people spell, he should look in the mirror first.
I am soooo, not touching that. Nope.
Remember, his screen-name's from some fancy brand of women's perfumes and underwear, "Atman."Egg me on all you want. I ain't touching that.
Some sports celebrity owns the company.

I always thought his screen name was from Hinduism.
I thought it was the lamest superhero name ever, since Rob is known for wearing his underwear outside of his pants.Needs blank speech balloon.

Someone should send that pic to jugs to show her what a nice pair of boobiez are supposed to look like.
