I had a very important fucking document to post today. I couldn't do it sooner because today is payday. I really wanted it sent today, but OH no, because ONE deranged fucking Galilean couldn't keep his fucking mouth shut for maybe ONE more day, I have to frigging well deal with the consequences.
When Caiaphus was all "Oi cunt, are you the Son of God," all he had to do was say "Maaaaaaybe" for just a little bit longer and I wouldn't have stood outside the post office wondering why the FUCK all the cunting shutters were down.
I thought that stupid prick got nailed up to SAVE us, not CAUSE US FUCKING HASSLE! Good going, Jesus, way to take one for the team ... you
stupid idiot.
YOU FUCKING TWAT!
Good job inventing hot cross buns though, dude.

That, and you got Heretic (ironic, no?) to agree with you. Good going on terribly unfunny blasphemy, Jim.
C'mon how could you stay mad at Jesus? He's your buddy!
I should be getting my MAIL on Sundays, but I don't. I should be able to make a bank transaction on December 25th, if it falls on a weekday, but I'm not.
I don't see all this hullabaloo made for Jews on Hanukkah or Rosh Hashanah. Or Muslims on Ramadan. Or for Chinese New Year or whatever holidays Buddhist celebrate when they're too busy not hurting plants and animals. Just the Christian ones. So not only is it bullshit that the world stops for their festivals, it's unfair.
Good rant.
Except, I can't complain. I got a half day for school :D
The scariest thing about that picture is the guy is totally serious about it.
waaaaah
One a penny.
Two a penny.
Hot Cross Buns.
True, but we don't really know the exact dates of anything that far back, since we weren't around then. Carbon dating and science only goes so far.
All that matters is that he was born, did stuff, and died. Lesser man have had holidays, so why not Jesus? Depending on what side of the fence you're on, he did some pretty amazing things.
And the cynics need their mantras.
You were there? How can you definitively say he didn't exist? Tell you what. I'll be John Locke, and you can be Jack Shephard.
Take him to WORK with you.
No two people on opposite sides of the fence have agreed since ever, and I doubt it's going to happen on Destructoid.com of all places.
I think the point is, believe what you want, but quit dragging everyone else into it kicking and screaming. This includes both holidays and morality in general.
Jesus is a historically proven figure. Whether or not you choose to believe he was the Son of God is the question
@ Heretic: I don't doubt Jesus was an actual person who existed... That he was the son of God, not so much.
If Jesus had some showmanship, my stuff would be POSTED right now.
On the subject of this c-blog: Poor form, Mr. Sterling. I cannot think of a better way to alienate a good portion of your readers. Again, it's basically unimaginative trolling. All it has is shock value. You can do better, so please stick to something that displays actual wit and intelligence in the future.
@Jim: Unfortunately for you, the Jews wanted Saturday off, so they tried to make sure everything was wrapped up before then. So if you're going to blame anyone, I'd say blame the Jews. That's been a winning tactic through history.
This is the most DARING and NONCONFORMING post I've ever read. IN YOUR FACES, because I just DON'T CARE!!! lollercoasters
nevar furget!
You're telling someone not to state their opinion simply because it may offend a few?
WHEN that opinion is essentially, Christian holidays are a pain in the asses of people who have things to do, and may not even be Christian?
I could see having an issue if this was posted on the main Dtoid page, but give me a break. I've seen some of the pap that gets posted in Cblogs. An understandable rant like this isn't necessarily out of place.
I couldnt agree with MechaMonkey more: Let's not knock each other's religions here, because that's just unimaginative trolling.
Short answer: Demonstrably not. No strong evidence about the date of Christmas being related to a pagan festival either, or any evidence I've ever found that Catholics eat fish on Fridays during Lent because the Pope's brother owned a fishery. At least it's evidence that when people want to believe / disbelieve things, it's really hard to stop them.
But religion (or lack thereof) bashing is trolling in it's lowest form. It requires no effort to get people riled up. No art to it and all.
My real complaint is that I expect better from my Destructoid editors than trolling.
