WDT - Religion Is Good For Something Friday

You would think given the context that Halloween would be our planet's creepiest holiday. Nope nope nope nope nope nope nope nope





Good freaking GOD.

 

What the damn hell? I live in the middle of the Bible belt, and even our liquor stores aren't closed today? And, don't your grocery stores sell wine anyway?

 

Considering that most of the Easter symbols originally come from pagan fertility rituals, I would say that having your kid sit on the Easter bunny's lap so that he'll give them candy is pretty fucked up.

 

Here under the glorious reign of the Queen, most establishments close on a statutory holiday, including the state-run liquor consortium. Ontario will soon allow grocery stores to sell wine and beer, but not yet. Especially in small towns, things really do close - the only places that are going to be open are the McDonald's, maybe the little Chinese restaurant, and the gas stations (and even then I don't think all of them will stay open). In larger cities you have more things staying open due to tourism exemptions and the like - but the liquor stores will still be closed.

I guess I could go across the border to Quebec to buy wine/beer at a gas station. But then, I'd be in Quebec.

 

I still try to figure out how the brutal torment and death of a loving saviour attributes to chocolate bunnies and painted eggs.

To me its the "Weekend The Kids Get Their New Bike".

Hmmm. The Children's Museum is open today, maybe I'll take my daughter there. The only other option is to go see Cinderella which I'm not crazy about. My wife's a stockbroker for an American company and she has to work today.

 

I hate living in Indiana. I've gone ahead and deleted about 25 facebook friends because of political bullshit and now I just want to drink until the world implodes. Fuck. Just... Just fuck.

 

I have never seen more places that either make or sell fireworks than when I drove through Indiana. I can only assume there's a Cold War CCCP missile still aimed at it because dropping a re-entry vehicle on that state would turn it into a giant, smoking hole.

 

The amount of stupid from every aspect of the political spectrum over the last week has been mind numbing.

I need alcohol. So. Much.

 

Better hope they don't think your gay otherwise my friend you'll be walking away empty handed

 

I would love to see a hardware store have an easter special on hammers and nails.

 

I'll just talk about Jesus some, but I won't say "Jesus loves me," because Jesus is a dude and I aint gay.

 

So you won't say Jesus touched you deeply? Hmm maybe you're just hiding your true sexuality

Maybe you can just say you felt him welling up deep inside you, nothing wrong with that.

 

Here in atheist as hell Sweden the liquor stores are closed on Good Friday and Easter Monday. Schools are too, so I get a 5 day weekend, but booze has to be stocked up on to be able to celebrate the Jews killing my lord and saviour.

 

I've been purposely avoiding coverage of this law, but shouldn't businesses also be allowed to prevent menstruating women from entering their buildings?

 

I think Indiana already requires them to go live in a hut.

 

You don't want the bears to come do you? Better the crazed animals attack the hut then the rest of the population

 

So I went to high school with the guy that introduced RFRA in Georgia. That Facebook friendship has been a barrel of laughs for the last 12 months especially watching our valedictorian just give him reams of shit on social media for it.
