An intergalactic anthropologist visiting one nation on this off-the-beaten-path planet might draw some amazing conclusions. He (or it, or whatever) might conclude that many of the natives are members of a "White Deer Clan," as numerous illuminated electric likenesses of white deer have been erected in yards and on municipal properties. He might alternatively conclude that the indigenous population consists of devotees to some weird "Cargo Cult," where a gaudily-dressed demigod descends from above and distributes gifts to True Believers. He might conclude that this country worships the changing of the seasons, as everyone says "Seasons Greetings" to each other and symbolic snowflakes are hung on lampposts.
This off-world anthropologist would certainly see that the natives have an inborn drive to worship SOMETHING, but he would conclude that they are still primitive, ignorant savages who worship meaningless icons; barbarians who haven't yet progressed to the celebration of that great universal principle, "Love Your Neighbor;" pagans who ignore the Great Teacher who once walked amongst them. As he puts this poor little world in his rear view mirror, he might say a prayer for the soul of a nation that is so obviously hungering for Truth, yet still insists on worshiping tripe.
OPIATE OF THE MASSES ALERT.
Buh-Bye, Commie scum.
Well, it was fun while it lasted but the Admin Mod had to go and spoil the fun, fixing the spelling on Christmas and removing Paul's "personal information." Now when you wake up in the morning and get this ping there's just a bunch on nonsensical posts about the spelling of Christmas.
Probably sitting back and laughing watching us speculate about him.
Well, here's to Paul Broshear! Good Ole Paul ... He wasn't much for spelling but he'd gladly set extra terrestrials straight on the true meaning of Christmas.
And as I head to bed, in the spirit of Good Ole Paul's comment, let me wish everyone Seasons Greetings and Happy Holidays.
Naaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaw, he's an idiot and will laugh, insanely, about anything; so let's just play with him. :-)
Good idea.
Paul, you are confusing us greatly. Cut it out.
LOL
And a happy changing of the seasons to you, too. May the white deer be with you!
I'm in Conn. and there's no place here that I can go get anything like that now; no delivery...even if there was such a place. And I'M STARVING!
You fool. Don't you know that we save our true worship for Bushitler, who demands a sacrifice of one of our children as tribute each election year??? May he curse you with common sense and rationality!
Yep, time for the Viking Kitties! Call 'em. :-)
#22- then the REAL Paul R. Broshear should be a FReeper
I'll see your "arrrr" and raise you a "Me Hearty!"
This is no fun now that they've fixed the headline. :(
Arrrr.
Wow. Your satire would have drawn much agreement from Christian readers of the 1960s. What has happened since then?
