Other professor emailed me to find out how to get in touch with my advisor. Hell if I know.
I don't give half a hump if you're innocent or not. So where does that put you?

[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risqué (and frisqué), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l

yeah. I think a good comparison would be my love as as a secular Jewish for certain types of Gospel music. (Think Odetta). But I don't pretend for a moment I'm not enjoying Christian music that is part of a very Christian culture.

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.
When I was in the FAC, they were emphatic that Christmas wasn't Christian, it was Roman. Celebrated the Sun God, not the Son of God, so to speak.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!
You were in the FAC too? I thought the FAC was Teppy's thing.

If you're going through hell/keep on going/don't slow down/keep your fear from showing/you might be gone/'fore the devil even knows you're there
Different FAC.
When I was in the FAC, they were emphatic that Christmas wasn't Christian, it was Roman. Celebrated the Sun God, not the Son of God, so to speak.
If that were how it was actually framed/celebrated, that'd be another story.
I play along with some traditions, some because I like them, others to play along with family. I love the idea of making winter a festive time, and man would it be great if that were the focus in a non-religious way, and then those with religion can also have their extra special parts of it.
But we're a hell of a long way from that, no matter what FACs or O'Reilly's might say.

Are these the same people as "Catholics aren't Christian" people. Because that blows my mind, given that the town I grew up in let all the Catholic Children out of school in the afternoon every Tuesday for religious instruction. And there were 5 generic Protestants, a Jehovah's Witness and me left in the classroom!

Damn, your FAC was freakier than my FAC.

FACs are, sadly, prolific.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.
What's a FAC?
I like Christmas. Pretty trees, lots of food and presents, shiny lights. My family gathers to eat and exchange gifts and sing carols badly and have fun. We're atheists. For us it isn't religious, and I wouldn't put up a nativity set or send out holiday cards with religious messages on them any more than I would put up a menorah on Hannukah. Santa stockings and lighted trees have nothing to do with Christ, and I'd be annoyed at anyone telling me I shouldn't do it because I'm not Christian. On the other hand, if all that were not a *family* tradition, we wouldn't be doing it, and I'd be annoyed at anyone telling me I should just because it's a *cultural* tradition.

Herding cats for fun
...if this is how the fundies feel around Halloween?
The manager at one of my favorite thrift stores, Mission Ministries, is not down with Halloween nor its merchandise - store policy is to throw it away because of the satanist connection.
So I stood there with my Marge Simpson blue hair stammering, well, not the way I celebrate it... it takes so long to grow all those pumpkins, it's like service to others... nope. He wasn't happy with it at all.
And I've always thought I myself celebrated Christmas in a capitalistic, materialistic American sort of way without really concerning myself over the spiritual aspect.
