Dear Christians,
Please stop making videos like this:
The women in my family get a hold of things like this and suddenly, my inbox is bombarded with these hypocritical, contradictory messages and, as an atheist, it’s getting to be pretty damn annoying.
OK, I get it, you love God. It’s blasphemous that anyone in this country…a country founded on the freedom of religion…should be offended by having Christ shoved down their throats for two months out of the year.
It’s not even the fact that your celebrating a birth that, in my humble opinion, never even happened. If you want to worship Christ, then by all means do it. If you insist on saying Merry Christmas, I DON’T CARE! Really. I can’t stand this fucking holiday because from Halloween until the end of December, I am being bombarded by these commercials and adverts and the notion that for one day out of the year (well, 8 if your a Jew) you need to spend spend spend spend spend and then spend just a bit more.
Exactly where did Jesus say “And for 30 days and 30 night leading to the anniversary of my birth, ye shall accumulate many debts. If ye truly loves ones spouse, then ye shall buy that spouse a Lexus. And ye offspring shall be showered with many frivolous gifts which will be soon forgotten. This is the way of the lord….”
If you’re going to be that damn gung-ho about your religion, then maybe you should take those thousands of dollars you’re planning on spending on friends and families and donate it to a charity or a soup kitchen or give it to that homeless guy who is always sitting at your bus stop.
Because thats what Jesus would do.

PS-Happy Fucking Holidays
Very well put.
Ahh, the “war on Christmas.” This one is called a false dichotomy. The comic (i’m guessing comic, here. Dennis Leary for Jesus? ok.) starts off complaining that nobody says Merry Christmas anymore. Then there is that awesome music video/powerpoint presentation (that’s what they call a “multimedia experience” – like that album Todd Rundgren came out with a while ago.) Then he says, “if you don’t believe in that…God bless you, but if you want me to stop saying it, put a helmet on.” Or something like that. I’m guessing the “put a helmet on” was a reference to some catchphrase (“here’s your sign” “…you might be a redneck” “wha happen?”
Do you see what he did there? He switched the debate. He flipped the script. Do people say that? Flipped the script? He equates some WalMart somewhere not telling him Merry Christmas to them asking him to not say it. He sets up only two possibilities, you either say Merry Christmas or you are trying to stop him from saying it. Not true, see your original post, with you 100% Nobody ever asked him to stop saying Merry Christmas.
Plus, whats with this crap about America’s heritage being solely Christian? Just because you only saw whitebread Pa and lil’ half-pint on “Little House” doesn’t mean our nation was built on the backs of people who look like the people in your cul-de-sac in Edina. Slaves, remember them? They came from a giant continent called Africa, had numerous languages and religions, but you beat that right out of em. Good on ya, Christians. The railroads were built by Chinese immigrants, who have had religions lasting waaaay longer than yours, so they are probably more right. You mostly killed them working on that train (that picture with the golden spike? Utah. Eewww.)
Plus, were those guys singing at a Vikings game?
Happy Fucking Holidays, Dennis Leary for Jesus. He’s funny. You aren’t. That’s the biggest difference between you. That and you are a douche.
Merry Krismahanakwanzaa (to borrow a page from Madison Avenue, the official “reason for the season” of Christmas) Band that sings “Christmas … with a C” Nice video. Is that the director from Bob Jones’ Film School? I like his use of hard-to-read colors on a bootlegged copy of a half-assed slideshow to convey smugness and lack of belief in science. You are going places, my friends. Jesus would use a Mac, though, so use that to produce your next video, “It’s Palm Sunday…with a P”
Oh no no no….Quite the contrary my friend. Jesus is PC all the way. Buddha uses a mac. Having seen many a shitty Christian video, I can confirm that the production quality was spot on.
Because honestly, when you’re preaching a message that is so pure and true…quality doesn’t matter. The love of our lord and savior Jesus Christ is all you really need…
