Help a Senator celebrate the holidays

by Karen on December 3, 2008

Chris Buttars, a Senator for Utah, seems a bit down this holiday season and wants to pass a resolution encouraging retailers to say “Merry Christmas” in Utah.

Forget “Happy holidays.” What Sen. Chris Buttars wants to hear from Utah retailers is “Merry Christmas.”

The West Jordan Republican is having a resolution drafted for the 2009 Legislature that he said asks retailers not to “exclude Christmas from your holiday greetings.” Resolutions, of course, cannot be enforced.

Buttars said he is seeking the resolution because he was contacted by several employees of a retailer he declined to name that had been told they couldn’t say “Merry Christmas” to customers.

I say we help cheer him up and send him some holiday love.

As much as I hate Hallmark

by Karen on October 8, 2008

I must admit they deserve some kudos for introducing cards celebrating same-sex marriages. The fundamentalists are up in arms though and are calling for a boycott of Hallmark.

Some examples of their wailing:

  • Madonna in Shasta Lake, CA writes, “We’re supposed to love the sinner and hate the sin…loving them isn’t condoning their sinful choice.”
  • Lucretia in Rancho Santa Margarita, CA writes, “I will no longer, ever, buy another Hallmark product, under any name, unless you pull these cards.”
  • Brenda in Olivehurst, CA writes, “Not only I, but my entire family no longer buy cards and gift from your company, and we will not as long as you promote homosexuality.”
  • E. in Vista, CA writes, “I will not buy cards from your company anymore as long as you cater to this tragedy.”

If you’ve got the time, why not drop Hallmark a note telling them thanks for not being the bigots these zealots would prefer them be and for recognizing the relationships of gay couples?

Richard Dawkins’ hate mail

by Karen on August 25, 2008

Found this video over at The Good Atheist and thought I’d share it:

The best one has to be the one where the sweet little Christian hopes Dawkin’s gets hit by a church van and dies slowly.  Such a sweetheart, eh?

Act like a Christian? No, Thanks.

An event this coming Sunday is to be a first for the Democratic Party.  At exactly two pm at the Denver Convention Center the Democratic party will kick off the only “inter-faith” service it’s ever played host to. This gathering will include clergy of a variety of faiths, Democratic leaders, elected Democrats and community leaders.  [...]

Thinking leads to ignorance?

A church over in Shreveport, Louisiana recently decided to have an old fashioned book burning which was picked up by the local news. Nothing new, really. Small Christian communities do it all the time here in the south it seems. In fact, there’s a church about 30 minutes north of here that should be doing [...]

It’s the lack of silence that offends

Jerry Marszalek, a football coach in Michigan, has lost his job after allowing an assistant to pester Muslim students into becoming Christians. As you can expect, the professional Christian set is not happy about the development and have decided to spin it as yet another act of persecution – against Christians. According to an article [...]

That didn’t take long did it?

Yesterday I wrote about various Christian groups that don’t seem to understand that anti-discrimination laws protect them not just from non-Christians, but from each other due in part to their constant battles over who’s a True Christian and the like. Today I find a post over at A Whore in the Temple of Reason about [...]

Imagine being told "no" because you’re a Christian

April 15, 2008

A photographer was recently found guilty of discrimination in New Mexico for refusing to photograph the wedding of a lesbian couple because of the “message” it sent. It should come as no surprise that the photographer in question is a Christian who thinks homosexuality is a “sin”. The professional Christian Martyr set is a bit [...]

Everybody run, the Christians are getting smarter

January 6, 2008

First they figured out that we members of the godless horde cannot be found in a church. Now they’ve went and figured out that we don’t expect to be pestered by ‘em on Sunday morning. I saw them walking about last week, but figured I was being paranoid due to lack of coffee.  So when [...]
