    Holidays are meaningless. Shut the country down because the earth has
    orbited the sun once more? Makes no sense.

    Slacker. And dingbat. I'm not saying you should get any fewer days off,
    just get rid of everything at a specific time of year and take your days off
    when they work best for you.

    Exactly my point. And I worship nothing. Why can't I just pick the days
    that work best for me, whenever those days are?

    They just get the date wrong, pretend it's their holiday, and ignore the
    facts.

    Putting it mildly, solstices and equinoces, and ascriptions of religious
    significance to (and even births of gods or saviors on the Winter
    solstice, like Mithra) and/or celebrations of them, far predate
    Christianity, not to mention Judaism.

    In other words, it's all just the usual zealotry.

    Even funnier, they use ancient Northern divine names for the weekdays and
    ancient Roman Imperial divine names for the months without blinking.

    You can see how Melville, Twain, Bierce, Mencken and Cabell got the way
    they did.

    Each inspired in his own way by the averages and medians of morals and
    rationality around, and all but Melville and Cabell succumbing in the tend
    to misanthropy, although you have to wonder about Melville, since his last
    novel (unless you count "Billy Budd"), _The Confidence-Man_, _is_ pretty
    savage stuff.

    You seem very willing to take this establishment story at face value.
    Why not actually research this stuff and find out whether it is true?
    What you will find is that the establishment will put out any old
    crude lie to rubbish the Christians -- and you will be amazed at just
    how crude some of the lies are.

    What, like the ancient and indeed prehuman existence of the Winter
    solstice? (Summer in the S'uthe'n Hemisphere, of course.)

    I think we can take that one for granted, Mr. Pearse.

    As for the significances and celebrations thereof, they are and have
    always been all over the place (although the damned calendars have wobbled
    all over the place), the neatest I think being the Celtic one where you
    got naked and drunk with antlers on yer head and jumped through bonfires
    (hopefully) . . . .

    Sounds like great fun, doesn't it? and you know there was betting going on.

    "The gods can either take away evil from the world and will not, or,
    being willing to do so, cannot; or they neither can nor will, or
    lastly, they are both able and willing. If they have the will to remove
    evil and cannot, then they are not omnipotent. If they can, but will

    Well, come on, how many brontosauri or diplocodi or even gigantosauri can
    you fit on a lousy boat?

    And even just one tyrannosaurus is one too many.

    Although it would take care of crowding pretty quickly.

    They've been reprehensible since the time of Gregory of Tours (whose own
    morals weren't all that hot, either, bishop or not).

    You grossly mis-underestimate the strength of gopher wood and Noah's
    skill as a marine engineer. Gopher wood makes titanium look like warm
    brie and the largest supertanker

    http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Knock_Nevis

    is a mere skiff in comparison.

    Weren't they replaced by newer and better primordial beings? They
    didn't seem to do a lot to keep ancient civilizations perking along
    into modern times - doncha know?

    Morals shmorals. What really counts is being strong. In order to reign
    over your own planet (or star system, or galaxy) you hace to be strong.

    They turned into the angels and demons of later religion.

    Not to mention that some of the UFO loonies have latched onto them now.

    Well, that's because they were frequently destructive, acting as soldiers
    for the gods, too.

    Any time the Anunnaki "raised their torches", look out-- "the land was
    smashed like a plate".

    If you ever get a chance, grab a look at _The Rebel Lands_-- it's a
    killer, and the boys with the torches get prime billing.
