Frank B. Finite
A "True" Atheist
Sadly, 'tis the season:
As most of you have been forced to experience, the "holiday season" is amongst us. It's a time when people get together and party and eat and drink and generally have a good time all at the expense of us who don't dally in such nonsense.
You can't escape the forced bombardment of holiday messages upon your senses no matter where you go or what you do. They're on TV, radio, in the malls, in the restaurants, decorations up and down the esplinade, etc. and etc.
Our society has become somewhat enlightened over the past few decades and pretty much steered away from the christian message, but I'm afraid there's much more work to be done in this area.
The one place where you'd think you could be safe from all of this is at work, but few people know just how much they are being indoctrinated with "religion" anyway.
For instance, instead of saying Merry Christmas, companies have sent out cards adopting the phrase "Happy Holidays". At first this seems like a good replacement, but if you get educated you learn that it's not.
You see, the word "holiday" has its roots in the term "holy day". This is an unacceptable substitute.
One might think that using "Seasons Greetings" fixes the problem. I don't think so. When man invented religion, he did so in worship of natural phenomena one of the most prominant being the seasons.
And what is exactly the season they are referring to in "Season's Greetings"? As they say, "Jesus is the reason for the season." It is the holiday season which takes us back to the first inadequate replacement phrase.
No, we have to come up with something totally new and entirely free of any such religious nonsense if we are going to one day break free from the shackles of the religious reich. And I have done just that.
It is an endearing term the both religious people and non-religious people will relate and cling to with open arms. It reflects a way of life that people will actually dig deeper than their hearts in order to get a piece of.
A unifying term, I see it as the concept that will not only help us all to get along, but eventually pound the last nail in the coffin of religion all together once and for all.
As a part of my legacy which for some strange reason I feel is important to leave behind after my organs cease functioning, the light bulb of my conscience permanently goes dim and the worms devour my body - my brain leaves to society this gift . . .
Truthfully,
