[High Praise! to Irritable Pundit]
This may sound strange, but as an atheist who has no religious holidays, it always makes me exceptionally happy when religious people wish me happiness on *their* religious holidays. Makes me feel like I’m being handed a little gift-wrapped box of joy.
Spontaneous kind gestures like that are one of the biggest blessings of the human condition.
Happy passover to you, too, IP.
“…it always makes me exceptionally happy when religious people wish me happiness on *their* religious holidays.”
Note to Self: Send Harvey a card on Tuna Day.
Oddly, I’ve never had a Muslim wish me a Happy Ramadan. I think it’d be pretty cool. As long as he didn’t explode afterward.
“This may sound strange, but as an atheist who has no religious holidays,…”
You’ll always have Festivus!
@3 – Festivus? That’s the most ridiculous made-up holiday since Earth Day.
Come to think of it, I guess I would get offended if a hippie wished me Happy Earth Day. I’d have to share my holiday tradition of punching him.
Actually, Kwanza is the most ridiculous made up hoilday since ever.
@5 – RACIST!
No takers on Robanukah then…
@7 – bacon for the Futurama reference
So! What do you get when you celebrate Passover on an Overpass? Runover.
Thank you Frank. I do wish more atheists were as respectful as you.
They tried to kill us. They didn’t. Let’s eat! -The reason behind almost every Jewish Holiday. ;>
@10 – Mrs. C, Frank is Catholic. I’m Harvey (see the posted by line under the title).
And thank you.
Like I always say, I may be an atheist, but I’m not an a**hole.
@Harvey #2 “I’ve never had a Muslim wish me a Happy Ramadan” I think with all the fasting they aren’t happy….but I can’t think of when I have ever seen a happy Muslim and I had the pleasure of spending a year in Iraq.
Frankly Harvey, I’ve never understood the made-up uproar over Christians wishing non-Christians a Merry Christmas. Since you’re wishing them a Merry Christmas you’re being inclusive with your holiday. I would think telling someone they weren’t allowed to participate because they weren’t Christian would be the problem. Proving, once again, that liberalism is a mental disorder.
@13 – Yuletide Nazi says “No Christmas for you!”
Harvey, whatever you are we are glad you are not Just Passin’ Through, so happy every day, you’ve earned them.
I just wish God had given Moses the power to part the Red Tape, rather than the Red Sea. If they still had that power today……our exodus from the evil King Obama would lead us back to freedom.
Happy Passover…now call your mother!
