Merry Newton-mass has kind of a nice ring to it. Big Grin

Peace on earth, good will towards men. Merry Christmas, everyone.

All I can say is "Thank God you're not the czarina."

I find this sort of intolerance distasteful at least and dangerous at most.

Merry Christmas, happy holiday, or whatever you're preference is at this time of year.

I find it disrespectful that you are ignoring the fact that today is Jimmy Buffett’s birthday.

Thank you. Forgot that.
Time to celebrate!

No I did read it. What I wrote was an expression of gratitude for your celebration of science rather than make believe.

And Al, the shoe is on the other foot now. Intolerance is having other people's beliefs foisted on you daily, being bombarded with Christianity and the assumption that you and everyone around you believes in fairy tales 24/7.

I've had my limit.

I don't think Al is Christian.

If that's indeed the case, apparently he doesn't feel put upon.

Thank god for the content! The title had me thinking it was time to find a new forum to (occasionally) hang out in.

Really guys? 15 ******* years of me being consistently anti-religious didn’t update your priors at all?
