You're all right - for an Atheist! ;p
ReplyDeleteI sure wish we could convince you to come with us when this is all over!
He's either a closet Christian or else he's very condescending or a Poe!
ReplyDeleteNo, he's just a classy guy.
ReplyDeleteThank you Jon, and may the New Year bring happiness and good health to you and yours...
Thank you Jon, and a merry Christmas to you too. We in the UK are not quite there yet, we have just got back from a wonderful Christmas Eve children's service. Keep up the good work. I am a Christian and a regular reader of your blogs.
ReplyDeleteJon Merry Christmas to you too! And Happy New Year!
ReplyDeleteMerry Christmas to you, too, John.
ReplyDeleteMerry Christmas and happy new year Jon.
ReplyDeleteI join the rest in wishing you the best. And thanks for the work you do in keeping this blog going.
ReplyDeleteYou are a classy guy - if only everyone could accept others as you do.
Merry Christmas and Happy New Year
Thank you sir and a Merry CHRISTmas to you and a Happy New Year also.
ReplyDeleteKALA XHRISTOUGENNA !! AND HAPPY NEW YEAR TO YOU TOO.
ReplyDeleteIt is a Merry Christmas.
ReplyDeleteAnd despite what anyone of any faith or non-faith may personally believe, Christmas is and remains an historical celebration like historical celebrations throughout the world. One can deny the divinity of Jesus or the "validity" of Christianity, but it doesn't diminish that fact that the celebration of Christmas is real and world-wide.
So thank you Jon, for a kind sentiment.
Oh, and for the militant Atheists out there, just remember that if the Mayans are correct, this will be the last Christmas you will have to endure.
ReplyDeleteOnly the phoney religious parts of the so-called Christmas season are trite and hypocritical. The commercial part is also tedious, but the festivities can be enjoyable and family get-togethers (if you like your relatives!).
ReplyDeleteThank you Jon!
ReplyDeleteThough it's a little late for Christmas, still…
Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year to you and your family!
" if the Mayans are correct, this will be the last Christmas you will have to endure."
ReplyDeleteWow, you were able to combine two myths in one sentence. Congrats!

ReplyDeleteAnd not so long ago Christians would have arrested and executed them for practising astrology!
ReplyDeleteAt one time celebrating christmas was a crime in this nation
ReplyDeleteProbably for the same reason it was banned in Britain under the Puritan religious government of Oliver Cromwell. Several fundamentalist Christian sects today also don't recognize Christmas, like Jehova's Witnesses etc.
ReplyDeletejonray is clearly just pandering to his majority christian conservative readers, so he's either not so much an atheist as he claims, or is a cynical manipulator of his main "adoring" audience!
ReplyDeleteThis site was supposed to be just about "freedom of speech", but just ends up as conservative christians echoing their prejudices among each other, with one or two random "heretics" interjecting to make things slightly more interesting, not that the said CC even realize that the comments column would otherwise fizzle out even more quickly!

ReplyDeleteYou have no concept of respecting people who don't share your views?
If that is meant to be a question, then yes I do have a concept of respecting people (as people) whether or not I respect their views or character, and there are many views and character traits that I don't respect, as I'm sure is the case with most people who are not simple-minded.
ReplyDeleteAnd (for instance)I sure don't respect the views of the Taliban, but maybe they are really nice guys if you get to know them!!!
