Merry Shitmas my friends 🙂
I love how Dunsworth is reading Christopher Hitchens book “God is Not Great; How Religion Poisons Everything…” for a Christmas video.
Just in case anyone tries to tell you otherwise, Christmas is NOT Jesus’s birthday. It was to celebrate his conception. So, really, its a celebration about a rape that caused a pregnancy. Nice!
It was also a Roman holiday hijacked by the later Popes in order to get the waining Roman citizens to convert easier to Christianity because early Christians celebrated nothing and the Romans where ALL about their parties…
So Happy Birthday Sun! A tangible God made up of hot burning gas, which has the REAL influence in all of our lives.
Just finished my second reading of Hitch… Might I also recommend Richard Dawkins’ The God Delusion. Perfect for reasonable solstice reading!
Happy Winter Obligatory Holiday!
Am familiar with both works 🙂
Dawkins also did a program based on his God Delusion book which is right on too.
