Okay, Okay, We Get It Already!!

I'm going to preface today's remarks with a warning ladies and gentlemen:  if you are prone to be easily offended regarding religious matters, if someone poking a bit of derisive fun at the utter holiness of your faith upsets you, or if you have a tendency to get all butt hurt when someone points out a little random hypocrisy that you may be actively taking part in YOU MAY NOT WANT TO READ THIS POST.  

It may cause cramping, possibly hemorrhagic staining, and quite likely some spotting.

I don't know what has happened to Facebook lately, maybe it's the folks that comprise my friends list, but when the hell did Facebook become so overly addled with Christian memes that  the only way I can actually read what someone has to say about anything I find important is to filter through 750,000 pictures of pretty pastoral scenes with scrawling inscriptions in near illegibly flowery script praising the joyous creation of our Christian lord.

Oh our dear sweet and fluffy lords (yes plural for those pagans out there, don't worry, I got you) people! Did we someone misstep and allow the Southern Baptist Convention to take over Facebook and someone forgot to post the newsletter?!

Look, those of you who have read my blog regularly know I'm a fervent supporter of everyone's right to practice whichever religion you wish and respect all of them (with the exception of Scientology because I just can't figure it out) equally.  I just don't understand the rampant and unrelenting and completely uncalled-for proselytizing that goes on in social media.  I'm cool with your love of Jesus but do you not realize that someone out there that doesn't share your faith could think your gardener has gone missing and you're sad 'cause homey did some excellent work?

You know, in the name of equality and instead of getting ill about it, how about I proceed this way instead.  Effective immediately, I want to encourage everyone to broadcast your faith over social media as if your involuntary bodily functions were suddenly taken over by the spirit of Jerry Falwell.  It's about time the Buddhists, Wiccans, Pagans, Asatrurs, and hell even the Methodists start meme-ing like madman as well.

So in that light, Happy Tyr's Day and Blessed Be, Y'all!

(And yes, I so posted that on Facebook...)

Enjoy your afternoon boys and girls, and for Buddha's sake stop hitting your sister with your prayer beads or I swear I'm calling one of L. Ron's minions over here to audit your little ass. Now someone thank the baby Jesus and Mohammad for the grub so we can eat already!!
