To Hell With Christians?
December 24th, 2005 by EyeOnWinerSomeone pissed in Davey’s conrflakes yesterday, apparently, because there’s a lot of really silly shit on scripting.com. Case in point: Ho Ho Ho Yourself or “I hate christians and Christmas”.
The most striking thing here is how he claims, on occasion, to be a sensitive, thinking person, when he might have more prejudices than anyone else on the internet who blogs under their own name. I mean, the whole premise is flawed because he starts with “I’m a pretty friendly guy, and that’s 365 days a year” — but we’ll pretend like that doesn’t just shoot the whole thing down… because he is friendly, if you kiss his ass and agree with him. Or at least I’d guess so.
First he decides a whole bunch of happy people he doesn’t know are “bastards most of the time” — why? Because they’re happy at Christmas? Because they my be Christians? Or because they’re celebrating a time of year he doesn’t want to celebrate? Who the hell knows, but it strikes me as a horribly bitter little rant right off.
Then he goes on to try to justify “not really liking Christians” — as though that’s substantially different than “not really liking Californians” or “not really liking black people.” But how does he justify his prejudice? By just assuming that all christians are right-to-life and support the death penalty. So even if you pretend that this is hypocritical or conflicted (which it can be, but doesn’t really have to be), you still have him imputing two huge assumptions onto millions of people he has no experience with.
Then there’s this: “Why are they so happy for one week, and so pissed off the rest of the time?” I’m not Christian, but I can say that many of the happiest people I know are Christians, and the people who call themselves Christians, and really believe, but don’t really live it aren’t any more unhappy than anyone else I know…
But why? Why does Dave feel like he has to flame an entire religion? Ex-girlfriends. Yes, that’s right, ex-girlfriends. (Dave has had girlfriends? How the hell…?)
I’ve had the privilege of being inside on a few of these Christian Christmases, with shicksa[sic] women I was dating, and let me tell you, if you haven’t had a chance to see the inside of the holiday, it’s pretty pissy and angry, you know, like people really are, not like they pretend they are.
Wow. If that doesn’t scream “bitter, disaffected ex-boyfriend” I’m not sure what does. Maybe Dave’s just feeling a little empty and lonely this time of year, and even a swimming pool full of ones isn’t filling him up. Odd, that.
Anyway… f* that noise.
MERRY CHRISTMAS, EOW readers (even the Dave sycophants)!
