Reply #6: I see nothing to persuade me that you are wrong

[tavalon]

People look a little askance at me when I say I don't celebrate Christmas because it isn't my religion. It's usually followed by the twenty questions that try to get me to "name that religion". Luckily, most allow for the "It's private" clause. The hilarious thing is I'm not an atheist, but just not being a Christian is enough to knock them on their asses. Atheism, if I could muster it, would definitely explode some heads.

While we're talking about the Christian Church and State (because let's admit it, there isn't much Muslim mixing with our government) mash up, why is marriage not solely a religious thing and all monetary, government things covered by something else. I've always been bothered by that.
