With all due respect, Andy, I’m not questioning your methods here. I understand you have your mysterious ways. However, WHEN are you going to finally explain to Cog what Atheism really is? I mean, how can you possibly help him advance if he does not yet know that very basic and foundational piece of information?
Hmm… I’m so swamped by replies from “Cog” that I guess I’m neglecting to reply to the one you’re referring to. Is THIS the one? (See attachment) I avoided it because it is SO LONG!!! God, it will take me hours to sift through all the stupid, incorrect things he said. But, if this is the one and you really want me to tackle it, I will embark on that task.
Is it this one? (sample below) —>
No. No-no-no… It’s THIS one…
“Cognostic, I could lecture you on what atheism is all about. You don’t even know that the word “atheism” is not a proper noun and should not be capitalized.”
When are you going to finally pound it into that dense monkey head of his what Atheism really is? Because if he does not understand that, then anything else you teach him will be meaningless.
It isnt here. December is one of the hottest months. Do not generalise.
And this is despite posting a diagram about the tilt of the earth in relation to the sun, and which parts of the world are closer or further at which times of year.
Hunh.
I mind VERY much that Christians hijacked the wonderful annual celebration that belonged to all of humanity—and made it their own. This deliberate theft has gone unnoticed and even ACCEPTED for centuries. When will people wake up and restore this beautiful celebration back to its original meaning?!
This was the ONLY CELEBRATION that united everyone! It was not religious or political or exclusive in any way. It was all HUMAN & NATURAL. It was a celebration about the promise of light and replenishment and the end of winter. It was celebrated by every ancient civilization and it is as old a civilization!
LET’S RESTORE THE CELEBRATION THAT WAS STOLEN FROM US ALL.

Oh fuck… give it up. There was nothing wonderful about the winter solstice celebration. Blood sacrafices, killing of babies, canabalism, and worship of pagan gods. You are being delusional again.
Antiquarian James Napier, originally from Partick in Glasgow, gave a fantastical account of how the Celtic priests, or druids, marked this time of year in Folklore of Superstitions, Beliefs in the West of Scotland (1879).
He wrote of priests gathering and walking in solemn procession to the forest to search for mistletoe growing on oak trees, with the plant holding near miraculous properties of curing illness, ensuring fertility and protecting against the darkness of witchcraft.
“When found, the priests ascended the tree and cut down the divine plant with a golden knife, which was secured below upon a line cloth of spotless white. Two white bulls were then conducted to the spot for the occasion and there sacrificed to the sun god.
I’ve cited at leset 3 or 4 different sacraficial ceremonies in different cultures now. Where is this goody goody fluffy nice solstice practice that the Christians stole?
Christian mythology moved humanity from sympathetic magic into parasympathetic magic. Real blood magic into symbolic blood magic. From actual human sacrafice to mock human sacrafice. From real animal sacrafice to mock animal sacrafice. Jews still kiill chickens and lambs. (sympathetic magic) Christians only pretend to drink blood. (It’s symbolic magic.) The Pagans rituals were ripe with sympathetic magic and sacrafice to the gods.
*** Before the Yule feast began, all kind of animals were sacrificed especially horses. The blood from the dead animals was collected in bowls and then sprinkled (most likely by a Völva, someone who practiced shamanism or witchcraft) on the altars, walls, and the participants by using sacrificial twigs. The meat was then cooked in kettles that hang over a fire on the floor in the middle of the hall.*** Merry Christmas
FROM THE PERSIONS YOU GET
***The representation of the sacrifice of the bull is a symbol and remembrance of the sacrifice of the primeval animal (it was the first living creature that was created by Ahura-Mazda ) and cosmic animal that gave rise to life to men. The death of the bull is a symbol of the new year and salvation in the hereafter. So on the mithraeum of Aventine in Rome man reads " You saved men by the shedding of eternal blood."
How many more cultures and rituals do you need to explore? Christians didn’t hijack shit! They actually STOPPED bloody annimal sacrafices and pagan practices because their God was the ultimate blood sacrafice.
No it isnt and no it was not.

HERE’s the white-bearded old elf who wants everyone to spend more that just money. His price tag includes giving him your mind and your humanity as well. He also wants to burn us alive if we don’t suck his dick.

OH FUCK! You can lead a horse to water but you can’t make it drink. I’m beginning to think Andy is a Troll. Most likely a Christian troll, he tends to argue just like one.
Yea, let’s all return to the worship of pagan gods, getting children drunk and boinking them, murdering our neighbors, sacrificing bulls, birds, and lambs on alters. All hail the midwinter festival. Rah Rah Rah,

Oh oh, sweeping unevidenced assertion alert.
Ohhh, sweeping unevidenced assertion alert 2.
Ohhh three…for three…
You sure, I’d bet my last pair of clean (that’s under for all the colonials)
pants, that it formed part of wider religious beliefs.
Yeah, I’m pretty sure I’m about to bet my pants again, that Thor was part of a religion.
Lots of luck with that…that would just leave all the other imaginary deities to contend with.
I already enjoy, I just do so on my own terms. T’is the season to be jolly, fuck off, I’ll decide when I want to be jolly thank you…
Ohhh what a lovely jumper, thank you. Thought you’d like it, you gave it to me last year you cunt. It sets every dog in the street barking when they see it, enjoy.

Cog-No, ALL you do is scream insults without any hint of an argument or objection. Everything I stated about the winter solstice is factual and readily confirmed. It is—and always has been—a celebration of the end of winter. It is quite is irrelevant that the sun in the sky was worshiped as a god. That doesn’t change the meaning and REASON for all of the winter solstice celebrations that tool place when winter’s end occurred.
Fuck, I knew it, back to the Solstice.

Face Plam! There is really nothing else to do with this idiot.
I used to fuck assholes when I was younger. Do you suppose Andy could be related?
Damn, Cog! How fucking ignorant can you possibly be? You must have failed Basic Biology class. You can’t make babies by fucking assholes! Geeeeez, you can be really dumb sometimes. 
Those statements seems incredibly inaccurate; almost intentionally so.

Ha, ha. I couldn’t not respond to Cognutstick’s latest reply to me. (My goodness, he is relentlessly thick.)
Ha-ha-ha-ha… 
Now you see what WE have been putting up with all these years. What makes you think you are special to not have to deal with it? Actually, you’ve had it EASY so far. Just wait until we put you on the roster to clean Cog’s bathroom.
