Begin the Feats of Strength (new window)

So many people have disappointed me this year. What fun!

Kruger, my son tells me your company stinks!

Sorry, citizen, government-approved religions only.

Frank Costanza, unavailable for comment.

I can think of one good place to stick it....

do Pastafarians celebrate a winter holiday?

Here is a crazy idea. Lets have the government focusing on running the government.

And we can let PEOPLE in charge of celebrating holidays.

Why do people want government in ever aspect of our lives including how we celebrate holidays?

Why government, freedom and religion don't mix.

FTA: Green Bay Mayor Jim Schmitt said items besides the nativity scene to be displayed need to associated with a religion, and the Festivus pole is just pop culture.

Somebody's missing a copula...

So now the mayor is an expert on what constitutes the required basis of a religion?

Serenity now!

chezzmxd3: do Pastafarians celebrate a winter holiday?

Yes, it involves homage to beer and strippers. We demand a winter holiday government supplied strip club with free beer and lap dances!

Ramen.

/really a Discordian
//Afflux came and went, and came again

This should end well...

I'm a Wiccan, so I'm really getting a kick out of these replies.

/and I celebrate Christmas
//I like the pressies, what can I say?
///makes the in-laws easier to deal with, too! ^_^

What are these pressies you speak of?

Oh great.. Next we'll be seeing a Jew nailed up to a cross on city hall property. The basis of many peoples religion, and the religious wars that have enslaved the non-atheist world for years.


/But why no pink flamingos?

Green Bay Mayor Jim Schmitt said items besides the nativity scene to be displayed need to associated with a religion, and the Festivus pole is just pop culture.

Pop culture is our religion.

The Wiccan/5-pointed star and wreath is being sponsored by Carl's Jr/Hardee's.

Maybach: There is no reason this should actually be permitted.

To equate our Lord with an immoral sitcom... Not a chance. The people will rise to strike this down. Where I live, that particular television show is regarded as a bastion of immorality. I can't see it being that much different across the nation. It's a Christian nation that may have lost its way, but the Righteous path is only a short time away. And most of you that are reading this know and accept that. But some of you will understand the consequences.

You forgot to threaten us all with eternal Hellfire. 3/10.

It's getting harder and harder for me to pick out the sarcasm in a Fark post.

Why not have a Festivus pole. If you are showcasing religions invented in the fourties why not include religions invented in the seventies.

The wise men in this nativity scene: are they Vince Lombardi, Ray Nitschke and Bart Starr?

this would make for a great photoshop contest

/probably been done already

Maybach,

That profile...that's a lot of energy just to be a Fark troll. You make Sunny Ray look like a tourist.

Festusvus ?

When will people respect my religion?



/His awakening is coming soon...

I thought Wicca's only been around since the 70's.

What part of Christ's Birthday do you celebrate as a Wiccan?

Ugh, now that the liberals are winning the War on Christmas, we have to let all these pagan religions in too. If we were forcing Christianity on the people, this wouldn't be happening.

/flames, gasoline, I has them

I'm guessing the part that involves buying people stuff because thats what Christmas is about.

Is there a stripper dancing on the festivus pole?

Sounds fair.

Oldiron_79: Is there a stripper dancing on the festivus pole?

Nice.

rebelyell2006: /His awakening is coming soon...

IA IA CTHULHU FTAGN!

The mayor should concede if only someone can present him with a Wiccan that can pass a drug screening.

/they should just use non-religious seasonal decorations for many different reasons

Works for me.
There's no reason to eliminate humanists from the holiday season.

FESTIVUS FOR THE REST OF US!

Governor Doyle has a Festivus pole put up in the Capitol every year, IIRC.

You need to work on your trolling/sarcasm. You go a little too far or not far enough. Your dialog reads too much like a parody of a crazy right wing Christian. You are just saying the most basic of talking points. So if you really were genuine, you wouldn't just be a mindless follower of the right, but you would be a mindless follower of the right who isn't even sure of what the talking points actually are. This would put you on about the lowest possible point of the intelligence food chain. You would mindlessly be following others who you do even know what they believe.

You need to at least put in one sentence of non-craziness to add some reality to your comments. Or go more over the top so your statement is actually humors.

Right now you have the worst of both worlds. Your statement is easily detectable as not genuine and therefor not troll worthy AND not humorous enough to be sarcastic.

moon-watcher: What part of Christ's Birthday do you celebrate as a Wiccan?

I don't know anything about Wicca but just about all holidays are based on something other than what any particular religion is celebrating. For example Christ's birthday is not December 25th, that is just the date that Christians celebrate his birthday.

In fact, I'm pretty sure that date was borrowed by Christianity from some Pagan celebration (which may be the same as the Wiccan thing).

So 76.5% of America is bowing to .44% of America. Again.

"do Pastafarians celebrate a winter holiday?"

I believe Pastafarians celebrate ALL holidays.

fine with me

In honor of the native indigenous peoples who were here before the evil, cruel, despotic usurper Columbus and his band of brigands arrived, I would also want to see a depiction of the noble Aztec cermemony in which the hearts were cut from the living bodies of sacrifical victims.

I came here for Pastafarian jokes and I'm really getting a kick out of some of these replies...
