My thoughts as well. I have already cited articles and evidence to the contrary and he continues spouting bullshit in reply. The conversation time is over. He didn’t last long the last time he got himself banned and he won’t last long this time either.
They’re not insults, they’re NICKNAMES. If he calls you “fuck head” or “shit face”, you must take it as a badge of honor. Cog has anointed you and life is good.

Yeah, once you’ve been anointed by Cog, it’s all downhill from there. (Yes, that can be interpreted in several different ways.)

@mr.macabre Christmas is sometimes a frustrating holiday for many of the same reasons.
I don’t ask for anything and actually ask people not to buy me stuff. That makes the disappointment of getting or not getting particulars easier.
Anything I do get usually means someone put some actual thought into it.
My husband compiled a bunch of pictures together of the dinners I’ve made him so I can write the cookbook I have been talking about forever. I loved it.and it didn’t cost a dime!
I don’t know if you make stuff. But that last few years, that is what I have done for the adults in my life. You saw the wood working. I also make homemade bread and different oils.
Smoked meats, jams, fruit we’ve grown. etc.
If you play an instrument, you could make a CD of something that you can tolerate.
If you make something you enjoy, you can excited just for the sake of making something that you can share with the people you love.

…(sniff-sniff… wiping tears from eyes)… Sorry. So sorry I was a little off key during the last two stanzas. I was so filled with the Glory of Cog that I just got a little choked up… (blowing nose loudly)… I’ll be fine. Just give me a moment… (dabbing tears of joy from corners of eyes)…

Yeah, interpretation, exegesis, whatthefuckever. Anointment schmoitment. I think we mean to know what was known to be meant. And, and we meant that shit.
But Cog, now being anointed as he was by the great Frog in the Sky, possesses special anointing powers not granted to metallic contrivances or unidentified gibberish peddlers. Not meant to be mean or demeaning, if you get my meaning, just trying to illuminate the dark paths of noticeably insufferable, procrastinating degenerates.

No surprise that Cocknostic only scores with assholes. Miserly loves company.
What the hell, dude? For your information, I am NOT a procrastinator. 
And I will be more than happy to explain why tomorrow… or, maybe the next day… or, uh, maybe the day after that.

Scores only with assholes, huh? You say that as if it is no big deal. If anything, it’s pretty damn impressive, if you ask me. You have any idea how difficult it can be to find an asshole that is willing to be scored. Most folks just ain’t in to that sort of stuff.

I wish more atheists would research the history of the winter solstice. It is one of the best sources to expose the mythical existence of Jesus. The winter solstice usually occurs 3 days before December 25, During this time period the sun reverses its descending path and joyously begins to ascend, thus ending winter and bringing us the promise of longer, brighter, warmer days. This important even truly meant “salvation” to our starving, frost bitten ancient ancestors. It meant warmer days to come and the replenishment of new crops. There is nothing supernatural or religious about that “miracle”.
This ancient celebration of the sun’s return dates back to prehistoric man. Christianity had NOTHING to do with it. Christians’ only connection to this joyous event is that they “stole” the Roman’s ancient winter solstice celebration, the Saturnalia and over the course of many years, Christianity incorporated its own religious symbols and traditions which eventually smothered the Saturnalia. Thus, the Christian god, Christ, replaced the Roman god, Mythra/s, along with with all of the Christian symbols and beliefs. Jesus, was and still remains, the latest incarnation of sun-gods, that date back before recorded history. Like every other sun-god before him, Jesus sported the same shiny round halo that every other sun-god displayed which represents our eternal savior—the sun. Sadly, the worldwide celebration about this important astronomical event—the annual rebirth of our natural sun—remains to this day completely bastardized and conflated with a religious event—the imaginary annual rebirth of a supernatural son, not the factual annual rebirth of our natural sun.
…(heavy sigh)… Look, Andy, I’m pretty sure nobody here is arguing with you about Christianity “stealing” Christmas from ancient rituals that preceded it. That is quite self-evident to anybody who bothers to do even a tiny bit of research on the subject. I’m quite familiar with how the Christian Christmas developed myself. (Well, okay, my WIFE is very familiar with it. I just learned from her.) Anyway, point being, the objections I am seeing have to do with the fact you are trying to claim the end of the Winter Solstice was NEVER about religion or the supernatural. Granted, there may have been a few cultures out there who treated it strictly as a “secular” celebration. It’s entirely possible. However, for the most part, that event was actually heavily celebrated with religious type rituals, and often with sacrifices to whatever god(s) the particular tribe/society worshipped. Meaning, that while the rituals/observations were indeed based on totally natural events, to say there was never any religious practices involved is completely innacurate. All Christianity did was hijack the natural event and center it around a “holy magical saviour”, thereby upping the ante on the whole supernatural aspect of it.
I fucking love Andy. You guys spend your time typing away and tossing me under the bus for the greatness I bring to the site and some dweebs get offended. “There’s just no pleasing some people.”

What you described isn’t how the winter solstice was celebrated (or what it was about) when I was a child. Which makes your statement about it having always been done in the manner you describe seem ridiculously false.
Yes, the greatmess you bring is not fully appreciated. This is part of the pain one must endure when the universe bestows unusual gifts upon certain special individuals, and those around them resent their own inferior status…
But I believe in 12 ridiculous things before breakfast…
- Vaccines are dangerous, they cause baldness and tooth decay.
- Global warming is caused by the Chinese breathing too much air.
- Ghosts are real and are the real cause of Spontaneous Human Combustion.
- Humans are more evolved than monkeys.
- NASA filmed the moon landing in a Hollywood studio.
- Being gay is a choice.
- Give a girl a pug and a rolling pin and she can conquer the world.
- Tin Man’s head is flat under that pointy hat.
- Magic is real or water would not be able to change into ice.
- Listening to sermons can remove that trigger to masturbate.
- I am special.
- We should all hate Christian, even our own parents. After all, Jesus said: I have not come to bring peace, but a sword. For I have come to turn ‘a man against his father, a daughter against her mother, a daughter-in-law against her mother-in-law.… We should all listen to Jesus and follow Andy’s advice. Hate the fucking Christians.
