Merry Christmas

As a moderate, non-evangelical atheist, I feel like it's my duty to speak out against the crazed radicals who insisted that their stupid little atheist sign be posted alongside a Christmas tree in Olympia Washington.

I've got three problems with the sign.

First, it's not promoting the Atheist holiday that coincidentally falls on December 25th - because there isn't one - so it really doesn't belong in a holiday display.

Second, of the three sentences on the sign, only one of them is a declaration in support of atheist beliefs. The other two are gratuitous, derisive digs at religion.

Third, being an Atheist doesn't mean you HAVE to be an asshole. Christmas is someone else's day. Let them have it. Share the calendar with others. If you want an Atheist winter holiday that involves gift-giving to loved ones, then make it up, give it a catchy name, and create a bunch of television specials featuring colorful characters and badly-executed stop-motion animation so that everyone can enjoy it.

Meanwhile, I'm going to keep celebrating Christmas out of pure childhood nostalgia and let other people celebrate it for whatever reason they want.

Here's some presents:
