I never would have though it possible, but yet it happened. Bill gets Mr.Deity mad. Agreeing with Bill is usually disagreeable to the sane, but on this one I’m torn. I’d hate to sully philosophy’s reputation. Filed under: Atheism, Humour Tagged: Christianity, Humour, Religion

THE FIFTH COLUMN: An Atheist Celebrates a Secular Christmas in a Multicultural Canada
So why would a non-Christian celebrate Christmas. Well first of all from a religious point of view Jesus Christ is not just the Christian Messiah but also considered to be an important prophet amongst both Muslims and Jews so there is no reason they cannot celebrate his birth, while not

The

Yves at Naked Capitalism cross-posted a wonderful Alternet piece by Lynn Parramore, eviscerating the idea that Islam is new or alien to America. In truth, the Muslim faith has had a long (if lightly-populated) history in the United States. Islam arrived in America so early, the Puritans hadn’t even burnt
