My dear Christian friends:

What the fuck else do you want? We follow your calendar, keep your Sabbath, and cannot escape even your most secular music 2 months a year. Your heroes names don our schools and hospitals. Even candy companies mark your seasons and holidays with the pagan symbols you stole. This, somehow, isnt enough for you? You have to have a thin skin when anyone complains about the boot on their neck? Wouldnt your Jesus show some compassion?

My dear friends of Non-Christian Beliefs:

Yeah, I know. It sucks to have your religion ignored, misunderstood, face discrimination in the workplace, military, school, hospitals, hospice, and, heaven forfend, the prison system, and STILL catch shit for celebrating any religion at all, or worse, keep the cultural identity of your birth, maybe observe some holidays, but dont actually follow the religion you were born into. Sucks. But Christians are 90% of America, and they feel pretty magnamimous tolerating you at all. Thatz just the reality of it. Sucks.

My dear Agnostic friends:

I get it. No human can positively confirm the existence or nonexistence of any deity. This simple truth is considered an attack on all religions, as well as on atheism. Because.It.Is. By definition, anyone who holds ANY belief in ANY deity or is convinced of Its lack of existence WILL NEVER AGREE WITH YOU. Take solace in the fact that you can eat or drink whatever you want and have sexual relations with whomever you fancy without having to tithe to pay clerics who tell you what to believe, or worry about what happens to your soul after you die.

My dear Pagan, Wiccan, and Witch friends:

Just wanted to say hi. Someone should.

My dear Atheist friends:

Yeah, you're used to coming last. You know that your existence is a thorn in their side. And yet, you are the great prize they all want. If only they can get you to believe whatever they are pushing, they get extra brownie points from their deity, whom, you know, yeah, lol. But, itz important to them. But, you know, poking a super-duper majority of easily-aggrieved people looking to portray themselves as victims, who have proven how dangerous they are in groups, and who, as individuals you never know if they're armed, just isnt smart. You may revel in it, but dont get surprised when they smack you: theyre just following the roadmap that has been so successful since the last Ice Age.

I think thatz everybody.

Ok.

In the long run, we are all in this together. We share a planet which is in peril, a nation careening towards fascism, and a society whose safety net has been under attack for 40 years.

In the face of shared danger, can we stop destroying the fabric of our community?
