Christmas Debate;


Today I am finally decorating my house. I was going to decorate yesterday, but my brother in law was being a super emo-bitch. Hence my rant about love yesterday. Chad, you didn't even go on a date with her. Yes, I know she was super flirting with you, but only because you were super flirting with her!

Sitting at work writing about something I shouldn't even be talking about.(Considering I'm an accountant.) I should be counting shit. But I'm surrounded by Halloween candles scented "After-Mint Dinner" and "Pumpkin Sherbet" which translates into "Gross Shit" and "Even Grosser
Shit". My olfactory senses have been fried and fed to red necks that eat things bigger than me (That's what she said) for an all-you-can-eat buffet.

However! I am still sitting here and writing. "Why?" do you ask? Well, It obviously can't be because I am an excellent worker, or anything related to that subject. It has to be for something extremely important. Like decorations. For Christmas. You know, since it's less than 20 days away I might as well decorate now. Or maybe I could just do it 6 months in advance and then keep them up for 6 months after Christmas, that would save me a lot of time.

There is a reason behind me actually decorating. Because my house is actually semi-decent now (meaning we have real furniture rather than just inflatable furniture, which is not such a good investment), I have decided to have a Christmas Party!!!I even invited Atheists. I think it's because of America's newest Ad:






Now, I don't dislike secular things (I love secular music, secular books, secular friends, secular socks.) But this ad is a little odd. I would have been much more receptive to this if it said, "Don't believe in a God?" instead of Why, it just gives it a better tone. Now, I don't bash on Atheists and I don't stuff Christianity down their throats, but I don't like atheist attacking me. I don't like being offended, you don't like being offended. I mean, I'm done with arguing with Atheists over stuff. There are a lot of Christians that hurt my cause just as much as some atheists, but they're just stupid people, which anyone can ignore. However, justice has been served, because the site that created this ad is down indefinitely.

Yet, I still love having my friends (contradicting beliefs or not) around for Christmas. I would much rather hang out with them than my mother-who made me her beer bitch on MY 21st birthday- for Christmas. Last Christmas she was so badly withdrawing from her robo-trip/pot high/crack-addiction that she threatened to ram my car until she could get her car out of the driveway. I promptly moved my car (which is worth $14,000 on Kelly blue book) out of the way of her car (which she bought for $1000 3 years ago) using my common sense. Needless to say, I don't really like my mom, she even bitched at my on my wedding day, but that is for another day.

So, I am planning this party. I already have all the desserts picked out, and I am having a few good friends bring their favorite finger food. We are going to play games on the wii, listen to Christmas music, and exchange some gift bags that I'm putting together for whoever comes. I'm rather excited. This is the first time I've ever acted like a 1950's house wife that wants to be the perfect hostess and have everything decorated wonderfully. I even want to invest in a coat rack. The domestic goddess is coming out.

So, I have a lot of shopping to do. That's okay, I also have an awesome husband that grants my every wish and whim. He also got a new job where he gets paid 3 bucks more an hour, and has a set schedule. I've got this Party in the bag.

  1. Now, I'm not trying to start a holy war or anything, but being an agnostic and rational thinker I feel I must speak up. I see religious billboards all the time, advertising baptists, catholics, mormons, all kinds of different relgions, as well as religious tracts left in public, tv and radio ads, etc...

    Personally, I think the whole concept of advertising beliefs is stupid and turns people off to that belief, but why shoudn't atheists have the same right to advertise that any other religion does?

  2. Dude, I totally don't support those billboards.

    When I went down to florida and saw all those anti-abortion billboards, I felt sick to my stomach. I know people personally that have been affected by abortions and whatnot, That is not cool to subject people to that. And those religious zealots know it. They are trying to scare you into God and Jesus and making you believe in Hell and that you're a horrible person.

    EVERYONE KNOWS THEY'RE ALREADY A FUCKING HORRIBLE PERSON. Religion distorts people so easily, especially people who want fame/power/money and it hurts to see those religious billboards just as much as the atheist ones.

    I'm not saying you have to keep your religion private, but do it in a way that people are astounded, not angered/grossed out/annoyed.

    Jesus is about Loving people.

  3. Though the ones where God is talking are pretty clever. I didn't get offended by those when I was an atheist.
