I suppose this is the time of year that is most egregious about the thefts and appropriation of the various forms of Christianity. As a non-Christian, this is the month that is most annoying as the more devout will scream "Put the Christ back in Christmas" When in truth he was never there to begin with. It was a marketing decision.

The appropriation is evident all year, but this is the worst time of it all. I try to keep my cynicism to myself, but am not always successful. That said . . .

God Jul (Good Yule) to you all.

Saturn would like a word with Christ.

Not really...Christ is the name, not the issue. It's the humans that stole left and right from other faiths to bolster their ranks, then demonized the competitors. Christ is fine. Christians are to blame. Not all - just those in power. Oh, and the ones that purport that they are morally obligated to "save" others by forcibly converting them.

Good to see you, old friend. I dearly hope you are doing well.

Poking my head in to see if anyone's around to chat!  

[Magni Prime]

I find it laughable that more people have been killed in the name of God than any other reason... yet most religions dai the same basic message.

Don't be a d**k.  

[Magni Prime]

Same to you, Wellie. *hugs* and to all, indeed.

********, it's cold.  

[Magni Prime]

We are making due, but I am faring worse than the family . . . mostly because I have a 40 minute commute (each way). In that time, my legs get so damn cold. Sometimes, I cannot feel my feet by the time I arrive. Under normal cold I would be okay. However, when the temps reach -13, it gets fairly unpleasant.  

[Magni Prime]

I can understand. The temps here have been consistently in the negatives for over a week prior to today, and having to drive 40 minutes each way for work in those temperatures was brutal. On the other side, today it warmed up to a balmy 36, with heaps of snow billowing down for most of the day. I am not complaining. Even better is that it was just at the point of melting, so it washed the majority of salt and road grime off the car. Always a bonus.

Do you deal with seasonal affective disorder, sir? Poor weather causing such malaise? It is rather common from what I understand.
