Whole lotta grinches in these comments. Of course Christmas has been exploited by big business to make money and yada yada, all that cynical bullshit.
To quote Charlie Brown, circa 1965 (which I mention to point out that this problem is nothing new):
You might as well hate Halloween because it gives overly-religious people an excuse for their Satanic Panic every year. It has nothing to do with the actual holiday itself, but how bad actors have co-opted it. And I say that as an atheist who enjoys Christmas in a secular way.
Christmas rules. I love having a time every year where I can reliably take some time off work and spend it with family.
That said, I'm not skipping Halloween by any measure; I love Halloween as well. Our decorations our going up today.
Stop calling it by its trademarked, bullshit name then, "atheist".
Fuck "Christmas", fuck "christianity", fuck the whole bucket of hate-mongering Veruca Salt backbirths' "sacred" icons, but also: fuck the hand-waving half-measures that allow its foundational groups to freely brainwash, rape, and radicalize children for century after century with "what if they're right" impunity.
There is no god. Get off the fucking fence.
Goddamn who shit in your cornflakes today lol
Probably a priest. 🤷🏼♂️
Nah. I'll continue enjoying Christmas as I damn well please. By all means continue to be a huge asshole about it, though. Happy holidays! 🎄🎅🎁
