16. You could be a fundamentalist atheist if.... |
When someone wishes you Merry Christmas you feel strongly like
lecturing them on Torquemada and the Thirty Years war.
You believe it's more appropriate for atheists to observe pagan
festivals than Christian holidays.

Ya know, this time of year is the date that a lot of gods
were celebrated on.
This is dead god day!
Saturn, Saturnalia, Mithra! Jesus! Celtic gods,
and others, Yule season among the Germanic Odin believers.
So many dead gods, so many toasts to their passing to make
Missletoe, yule logs, yule trees, holly wreaths, so many
symbols of so many dead gods galore!
HAPPY DEAD GOD DAY EVERYBODY!!
Giggle, snort, guffaw!

If they are doing it clearly in a context of proselytisation, I might
feel like that. I would probably say to them, 'Oh, I'm pleased to meet
you, my pet lion hasn't eaten for days' and then walk off leaving them
looking puzzled. Usually 'Merry Christmas' is just a figure of speech.
Anyway, it has cultural as well as religious connotations.

No. This violates even your skewed definition of the word
'fundamentalist'. The solstice is the physical transition of the sun
across the equator. New Year is the turn of the year in the arbitrary
but convenient calendar. Where I come from, pagan ceremonies are part of
Brito-Celtic culture.

One of the most amusing and indeed astonishing things about this
newsgroup is how often the atheist pretence of "logic and objectivity"
is put to the lie by silly comments like the above.
It's almost as if it's an intellectual death wish. Remarkable.

I thought death of all kinds--physical, intellectual,
spirtual--was the aspiration of the godly, since it's supposed to be the
only road to the big-dollar payday of Heaven.

What makes arsey-man imagine it's a lie? He's the one who invents
positions we don't have, about what he is too stupid to realise has no
relevance outside his religion. He's the one who imagines that
everybody celebrates his holy day.

No. This violates even your skewed definition of the word

across the equator. New Year is the turn of the year in the
arbitrary

are

Brito-Celtic culture.

One of the most amusing and indeed astonishing things about this

is put to the lie by silly comments like the above.
Why should we waste logic and objectivity on someone for whom
sarcasm
and derision are more than adequate?
Oh, by all means, do not "waste" your "logic and objectivity" on
anything!
Your store of it is obviously so pitifully small.
Your presumption that you're qualified to judge that is
simultaneously
amusing and pathetic.
Your store of logic is as small as your wit.
And you've exhausted both.

I've got some more for you:
You could be a fundamentalist atheist if...
You wonder if God managed to keep a straight face when issuing the "Thou
shalt not kill" commandment.
A friend tells you that he thinks Jesus was killed because he was
"upsetting" the ruling classes, and you say, "Yeah, that makes more sense
than that 'Jesus died for our sins' crap."
You think that biologists should have more of a say on what gets taught in
biology classes than men of God.
Somebody explains that the whole "virgin birth" thing was down to a
mistranslation, and you don't break into a cold sweat.
A Christian tells you that Jesus fulfilled more than a hundred prophecies
and you respond, "Oh yeah? So how come they got his name wrong?"
You think beer is more important than spiritual salvation.

Many have found that spiritual salvation, is often twelve years old, and comes
with an excise stamp, on it.

Ah yes. Your grass roots, and anything else he can ferment, drinker.
I wonder: How much, do you think, of America's religious beliefs, can be
directly, or indirectly, attributed to an old pot still?
