Religious Christmas Cards

[Ke1t]

I'm pretty diligent about not jamming my atheism into people's faces, even though I've some psychotically strong feelings about the whole religion thing. It might come up in conversation, but jamming it down an unwilling throat, like a turgid Horsecock-O-Atheism, I don't do that.

 

Why, then, do the religious leap on any fucking opportunity to send me Christmas Cards full of pictures of Beach Jesus, with little flying pixies motoring around in fluffy clouds, while suspiciously white European sorts hurtle along dusty Middle Eastern roads as they chase after astronomical anomalies?

 

I understand the whole Theft of Saturnalia thing, but again, I'm not a Christian or a Saturnalian, so why send me your racist, sectarian literature and expect me to place it atop my fireplace?

 

Four cards in the mail today... every one of them banging on about Jesus and the Goblins. Not one of them with a racially accurate Jesus. If he was Middle Eastern he didn't look like a fucking Viking.

 

I'ma fuck this sheep over here right quick now... ODIN!

that's a really ugly card. religious or no, i wouldn't want it on my mantel.

Isn't Christmas all about the birthday of Jesus or the Coca Cola trucks rolling into town?

What the fuck does Christmas have tae dae wi religion?

In my house... fuck all.

 

It's about getting presents, shoving a turkey down your throat, getting pished and watching Bond fight awesome villains

 

if some people want to make it about Jesus and his elves then fine. But don't involve the Kelts in your fairytale nonsense.

That picture has an uncanny resemblance of the "homework" my 7 year got home last week, he has to remember the lyrics to Peter and John (went to pray) for his school play in a couple of days...

I get annoyed when christmas stuff is cancelled cos of those bloody muslims.

 

Im not religious though.

[Guest milne_afc]

I prefer Robins.

 

 

You should make one with your Mohammed drawing.

 

Merry Christmas, Infidels.

I haven't sent a Christmas card in years. Waste of money.

I make large donation to charity instead. That's what I say on Facebook and my ad in the local paper anyway.

I'm surprised you havent thought of this Kelt. Turn him into a black man and send it back to them. You'll soon get off their christmas card list

[daytripping]

My god times must be hard - opened 60 Christmas cards today and only 4 had money in them. Not going to do this seasonal part time job for the post office again next year!

[chaos_defrost]

I'm all for the religious stuff like nativity plays and carols and hymns as long as it's purely traditional and not religious or being preached in anyway. These things are just a part of Christmas much like Santa Clause and his reindeers are.

and Daves, and Alans, and Kevs, and Roberts,....

What do you expect living in America, Kelt.

 

I'm surprised every caird yi get isna filled with religious shite.

 

Easter must be a pain in the arse as well.

[tup]

Why do the church get to hold the kids Christmas shows and all that pish?

 

I refuse to expose my children to zealotry in any form but of course you have to let them go and attend it and all that.

 

I hate setting foot in the place.

Scots and Canadians have a lot in common in that we both live above arseholes

it seems a bit unkind to call the entire country a bunch of arseholes. but there's a fair few living there. thankfully the bulk of the more moderate thinking seem to live closer to our common border.

[Karl Fletcher]

That was a harmless generalisation, LGIR, as opposed to a strong opinion

 

I actually like America

it's a strong opinion on my part that the religious zealots should live as far south as possible

but i agree with you. in general

[looksgoodinred]

but back to Christmas cards....

 

i received a fabulous one yesterday. that has a little set of antlers affixed to the front that can be removed and affixed to my real kitten. fun times in store for tonight

You class putting novelty antlers on your kitten as 'fun'?

[looksgoodinred]

that was sarcasm, Tup.

 

that said, i'd probably give it a go. she's been trying to destroy what few decorations i've managed to put up this year, and seems to have a real hate-on for the pompom on the santa hat and the Jul goat by the tree. perhaps her own set of antlers will give her something else to focus on?

 

but back on topic, it's a far better Christmas card than a religious one.

i also prefer Christmas snow scenes on cards to religious ones.

[Bluto10]

religious yanks are similar to the pagan zealots you find in the highlands and islands.

 

weird people that live in weird places.

Staple them on like in Scrooged.

In the 'Lights of the day' article, it would have been amusing if the word 'gone' wasnt in the photo caption!

 

Great links though!
