Avast! religious holidays

So like… Passover? That’s this week or something right? It’s the commemoration of The Exodus… the freeing of the Israelites from the reign of the Pharaohs in ancient Egypt under the leadership of a great man.  Shown here is a rubbing from an ancient artifact, illustrating part of the epic struggle.  The end result of this is that some lucky saps get to take friday off to observe Passover. By “observe passover” of course I mean “drink and play video games”.

Clearly we devout atheists see a problem with this. We don’t get to take religious holidays. Someone pops the “religious ” card, and people don’t give them grief about taking the day off. So I feel like I should get similar treatment. From now on I’m going to take such esteemed secular holidays such as “talk like a pirate day” (Sept. 19th) and “steak and blowjob day” (March 14th or 20th depending on how it is observed) off. not only will I take these days for my own personal reflection, but I will stick true to the their meanings. I WILL talk like a pirate on Sept.19th, etc. Never let it be said that us kindly atheists lack devotion.

y’arrrrrrrr

    I too will talk like a pirate. I am the dread pirate pixie.

    However, anyone who is claiming passover rights tomorrow is pulling one. They should have left early yestersay and taken off either today or next Wednesday.

      I think friday is a more convenient day to take off for video games and drinking.

    It was recently revealed to me (not through magic wan pale holy light but through mundane conversation) that I am actually an Ian: a Christian without the Christ.

    My name even has IAN in it.

    Clearly, I look to you for direction in all Ianian things.

          I am currently on the day shift. wtf!? I’m a normal person now. I get to wear shoes and I don;t have to jump over any broomsticks.

          Last week was my first week. I’m still getting adjusted but it’s very cool. when I go to sleep during the actual night time, I feel all naughty and devious like I should be going to work.
