I don't believe in Jesus, and I do celebrate Christmas.
And while I've been to Heathrow dozens of times, I've never been to England. No desire to visit there at all.

Yes but.... if he broke into her home, stole physical photos, and released them.... most people would easily consider it as much, if not more, of a violation.... but would he ever face nearly the jail time for that as he did for this? I doubt it strongly.
10 years is a fucking joke. Bankers destroyed the world economy and no one, except Iceland, charged any of them. There is no justice.
I wrote an app in Perl once. It was the only language that I could get to reliably connect to MSSQL from Linux.
It was fun to write, but I go back and look at the code now and it looks like Greek.
On the upside it's been running for over 5 years and having no problems at all.
As if A. isn't a troll statement.
A is my opinion, based on the complete lack of evidence.
A. God is a loving omniscient being
That is the troll statement, and what I was replying to.
Similarly Jesus is undocumented by the journalists of the time. Yeah he's in the bible and the gospels. In his gospel, Mark steals a lot of what he writes from writers of the period. Those same writers that don't mention Jesus at all. Yes there are references to Jesus, but they are all suspect church writings. Some references that could fill the gaps I'm talking about have been exposed as forgeries. Even biblical scholars agree with that. For someone who did so many interesting things in an age where people were writing about prophets, Jesus, surprisingly, goes unmentioned.
No, I'm a militant agnostic if anything. In the country where I live and in the language I speak, this repurposing of an old solstice festival is called "Christmas". If you want to come and live here, you can call it Christmas too. If you don't like it, feel free to leave.
It's nice to know that I'm free to leave.
However, if I want to say Happy Holidays, and I don't want to leave, what are you going to do to me?
William of Ockham had no beard. The most likely explanation is that it was chewed off by squirrels every morning.
That made me choke on my coffee.
Then call it Christmas. I don't like this "happy holidays" shit.
Why not? Are you one of those militant Christians that think religion is the only excuse for Christmas? You think that someone saying "Happy Holidays" is out to ruin your day?
Merry Christmas, Happy Holidays, it's all the same to me.
Prime rib roast = roast beef.
Dinner was a 12lb prime rib roast, Frenched green beans, mashed potatoes with horseradish, glazed carrots, Yorkshire pudding and gravy.
Lemon tarts for desert.
I only needed a recipe for the lemon curd, (tart filling) the rest I can prepare without guidance.
Also
There = over there
They're = they are
Their = belonging to them
Work without a vision is slavery, Vision without work is a pipe dream, But vision with work is the hope of the world.
