A true return to tradition.

[-] themeatbridge@lemmy.world 31 points 11 months ago

If you ever want to shut down the conversation, just point out that there are over a dozen Christian holidays between Thanksgiving and New Years, and some more devout Christians celebrate more than just the one with the presents and the flying reindeer.

What the darn-diddily-doodily did you just say about me, you little witcharooney? I’ll have you know I graduated top of my class at Springfield Bible College, and I’ve been involved in numerous secret mission trips in Capital City, and I have over 300 confirmed baptisms. I am trained in the Old Testament and I’m the top converter in the entire church mission group. You are nothing to me but just another heathen. I will cast your sins out with precision the likes of which has never been seen before in Heaven, mark my diddily-iddilly words. You think you can get away with saying that blasphemy to me over the Internet? Think again, friendarino. As we speak I am contacting my secret network of evangelists across Springfield and your IP is being traced by God right now so you better prepare for the storm, maggorino. The storm that wipes out the diddily little thing you call your life of sin. You’re going to Church, kiddily-widdily. Jesus can be anywhere, anytime, and he can turn you to the Gospel in over infinity ways, and that’s just with his bare hands. Not only am I extensively trained in preaching to nonbelievers, but I have access to the entire dang- diddily Bible collection of the Springfield Bible College and I will use it to its full extent to wipe your sins away off the face of the continent, you diddily-doo satan-worshipper. If only you could have known what holy retribution your little “clever” comment was about to bring down upon you from the Heavens, maybe you would have held your darn-diddily-fundgearoo tongue. But you couldn’t, you didn’t, and now you’re clean of all your sins, you widdillo-skiddily neighborino. I will sing hymns of praise all over you and you will drown in the love of Christ. You’re farn-foodily- flank-fiddily reborn, kiddo-diddily.

May the spirit of Satan be with you this holiday season!

[-] FuglyDuck@lemmy.world 19 points 11 months ago

I’m still trying to figure out what in my Spotify playlists gave Spotify the idea that i actually want to listen to xmas music.

I need to figure that out so I can dump it.

[-] The_one_and_only@lemmy.ml 18 points 11 months ago

Sorry, had to do it...

[-] ziggurat@lemmy.world 8 points 11 months ago

Weird al yankovic - Christmas at ground zero

Right-click playlist, click "Exclude from your taste profile"

The war on Christmas will continue until it's illegal occupation of fall ends.

Sounds like a purely american problem.

[-] CurlyMoustache@lemmy.world 20 points 11 months ago

Here in Norway schools force their pupils to attend church right before christmas , even though almost noone celebrates christmas as christians (we call it "jul").

Every year there's a fucking debate about how nice it is of the state to force young kids to go to church. All because of tradition 🤷

I don't know, even as an American, I see more people complaining about this problem than people who actually act like this. It seems especially worse this year for some reason.

[-] porcariasagrada@slrpnk.net 11 points 11 months ago

aren't there presidential campaigns next year in the us? this "war on christmas"(dog whistle for war on christian conservatives) concept has become a rallying banner every christmas since at least 2014 for conservatives. every year is the same. they even complained about cups going from red to green in some fast food company because they thought it was a "war on christmas".

next year elections so they are ramping up their rethoric to rally their voter fanatic christian voter base.

[-] Nima@lemmy.world 4 points 11 months ago

I'd advise that you do what we Americans do when we encounter those types of individuals.

We say "that person is a weirdo. let's leave." and leave. very easy!

[-] kofe@lemmy.ml 8 points 11 months ago

If you aren't spending time around people that complain about it, that makes sense. My mom is normally pretty quiet while my dad yells about whatever political issue, but this is one topic she gets vocally upset about as we're celebrating Christmas together literally every year. It's wild

My mom complains about it and she's a professed Wiccan, but she watches Faux News all day...

[-] uriel238 5 points 11 months ago

That's a new variant. My dad's a rocket scientist who's managed satellite projects in pursuit of better climate data. Yet he's a FOX News indoctrinate, a MAGA true believer, and now a climate crisis denialist.

Even those who should know better are susceptible to propaganda.

[-] LillyPip@lemmy.ca 6 points 11 months ago

Manufacturing outrage is extremist Christians’ favourite pastime. See also: witch burnings, the Crusades, and the Inquisition.

They’re desperate for someone to hate and blame.

I am really, really pissed off at Christian nationalists stripping away civil rights and the ongoing Gaza conflict, and find nativist songs triggering.

While searching for Christmas carols to add to my playlist I had a temper tantrum and loaded it with anti-war protest songs.

And I am quite fond of God Rest Ye Merry, normally. Too much piss this year.

"Hateful Holidays, everyone!"

[-] FlyingSquid@lemmy.world 11 points 11 months ago

I think my only response to "Merry Christmas" or "Happy Holidays" from now on will just be "yeah, whatever."

[-] ininewcrow@lemmy.ca 11 points 11 months ago
[-] raynethackery@lemmy.world 10 points 11 months ago

Happy Christmas! Merry Holidays!

[-] jaybone@lemmy.world 4 points 11 months ago

Merry happy.

Shit, I say merry Christmas and I'm not a Christian. I'm not going to accidentally I doctrinate myself by saying it.

[-] UnrepententProcrastinator@lemmy.ca 8 points 11 months ago

Is this really happening? Except a few Fox News clip I've never heard of somebody offended by the holidays thing...

[-] Kase@lemmy.world 10 points 11 months ago

When I was a christian, I used to hear people at church complain about it every year. I can't remember any of them throwing a fit in public about it, though, so it might not have been obvious from the outside.

Well actually, plenty of Christians I knew complained about it on facebook and other social media, which could probably be considered "in public." You get the point tho lol.

[-] CaptFeather@lemm.ee 6 points 11 months ago

Sounds typical for Christians. They have to actively make things up to be persecuted about, because fomo I guess? Lol

[-] afraid_of_zombies@lemmy.world 6 points 11 months ago

I wish I could say I never experienced the vaguely hostile merry Christmas response when I said happy holidays to someone.

I wish you a hopeful Christmas!
I wish you a brave new year!
May all your anguish, pain and sadness
Leave your heart and may your road be clear!

[-] mtchristo@lemm.ee 6 points 11 months ago

Merry holidays by the way.

[-] afraid_of_zombies@lemmy.world 6 points 11 months ago

Thanks. Can I put you down for our goat roast and orgy for Saturnalia?

[-] mtchristo@lemm.ee 7 points 11 months ago* (last edited 11 months ago)

Yes for the orgy but no need for the goat. I grow my own horn

[-] cyrano@lemmy.dbzer0.com 6 points 11 months ago
[-] Hupf@feddit.de 6 points 11 months ago

Merry Christmas

What the fuck? That's gross, keep that shit to yourself!

[-] rustydrd@sh.itjust.works 4 points 11 months ago

Joyous Kwanzaa, guys!
