…every religion attaches some godly event to the solstice season. It’s why you’ll get a day off on Christmas, which means it was good for something. So just pause, bow your head, and think about Jesus. And reject him.

-”The reason for the season!” at Pharyngula

Happy Saturnalia everybody

Really? Which was more shocking, that the Catholic Church threw out someone who disagreed with it, or that it’s being misogynist?

This reminds me of a group that wants the Catholic Church to promote the Virgin Mary to goddess and make her a member of the holy trinity. I don’t know why a person would look to Catholicism to value women when the institution doesn’t seem to even regard them as people.
