Christians...
Uhm, have a feeling this would have relavent to the last QOTW but it confounds me...
Christmas isn't a Christian festival to celebrate the date of the birth of Christ. It was originally a pagan festival to celebrate the winter solstice, held between the 21st and 23rd of December. It's called Yule. And Easter is the spring equinox, called 'Ostara' celebrated on the 21st-23rd of March, coloured eggs representing fertility were given. If you know that how can you believe in these festivities for the reason they are supposed to exsist?? I don't understand the concept of religous faith. I understand it's usefulness to keep a moral society, but not how people believe in it down to the letter. I'm very interested in this, so I discussed it with my ultra-christian friend. She told me she believed that God created all evidence to the contrary to test the faith. Neat hey?
Aplogies for atheism. If it works for you, stick with it ;)
P.S. In aid of all those who get annoyed with improper spelling, here's a bit of English for everyone.
Your - referring to something that belongs to someone you're speaking to.
You're - abbreviation of 'you are'*
Youre - not a word
Their - belonging to a third party
There - a place
They're - abbreviation for 'they are'*
I agree completely that 'Bo Selecta' is void of humour. Or hummous. Humous? Hummus? Vitreous Humor? Hmm. That's another one.
Motor Neurone Disease week. This week apparently. And Conjoined Foetus Mylepsia day is when?
Why every item in women's magazines are about what you look like and complaining about how women shouldn't try to look like those in the magazines. And 'poor them' stories. FHM is the way forward, girls, and you can even give a nice poster to your boyfriend! Or your Dad...
P.P.S. Oh yeah! Contractions! Thanks :) Guess I meant 'abbreviated version of'. Yeah. Honest.
