You should report them to the government.
Do they not see how ridiculous the idea of having to defend a god is? You would think a god could hold his own if disrespected. I have no issue with people poking fun at different religions (I think we would be better off if more people did it). If the religion is true / valid, you would think it could hold up to basic scrutiny.
Why don’t you get her a dildo? Probably will do more than anything else you can.
And if she doesn’t like it she can go f**k herself.
Report the Taliban to the government?
Which government do you have in mind? Because I’ve got some major geopolitical news for you to catch up on.
The statement was just me doubting that you know members of the Taliban. Perhaps you do? I think if you were to have details about members of the Taliban (whereabouts, personal details…), that it would be valuable to the US government for one.
Sure there is a peace deal, but it is rocky at best. Even with a peace deal, it isn’t like the US govt is going to just ignore them now. I am guessing they are keeping a close eye on them, and would take any verifiable info on them they could get.
How dare you make up a holiday? Do the right thing, and celebrate one of the already made-up holidays!
What’s Crimbo?
Well, this thread has taken a weird turn so I’m going to do my best to make it sillier.
Taking an event from a religion you are not part of and renaming so you can celebrate it is appropriation.
It’s called politics.
Oh no - that sounds horrible. Imagine taking an entire text from a religion and renaming it the Old Testament, and then making a whole religion off of that, instead of just a day in the year where you give stuff to each other? That would REALLY be appropriation.
Merry Solstmas!
I’m afraid you non-brits will not have a clue about this…
But remember this? - Proper Crimbo!
Ya’ll are missing out in Chrimbus.
250 years from now: Crimbo is based on a religious practice from the past called Christmas where people worshipped the discovery of Coca-Cola.
I’ve never seen a post fly so far over someone’s head.
No I got it.
Isn’t Christmas really Saturnalia? Give your wife a dick-in-the-box. That’s what we Ladies really want.
From what I understand the OP doesn’t want to call Christmas by its original name because he doesn’t believe in Christ, but still wants to go ahead and celebrate the actual day - which sort of indirectly defeats the point of not calling it by its original name to make a point of your lack of belief in Christ, since you’re still celebrating the day anyway. (Which, while I understand the sentiment, seems sort of inconsistent haha.)
Anyway I think we’re all missing the wider point, which is who the hell cares what a random stranger on the internet decides to name the 25th of December, and whether or not he chooses to celebrate it.
To the OP, I’m even worse at gift ideas than you are, so I’m afraid I’m going to be zero help here lol.
The amusing thing is I was just being lazy and couldn’t be bothered to type Christmas.
I don’t generally call it Crimbo. But when faced with it being called “stupid” - it seemed fitting to point out I’m not religious.
98% of the UK celebrate it… I’d hazard a guess less than 10% actually are practising Christians.
When I lived in Bristol for a year, I heard “Crimbo” a million times, along with eighty million other British abbreviations of words that do not need to be abbreviated. I thought, based on the visceral reply from some, that it had now become the universal term for secular Christmas. My initial reaction was right, I guess - it’s just another Britified word. Either way, it’s probably the least offensive thing that has happened this year, so let’s move on. Have you decided on anything?
