Yahweh or my way...

As a fairly substantial percentage of mankind would agree, today is the Christian-cum-Pagan holiday known as Christmas. This day, perhaps more than any other, is the focus of right-wing insanity and, as such, might be expected to generate a lot of ire from a devout atheist such as myself. However, as I spend a very ecumencial day with my parents, my sister, her husband, my Sainted Fiancee, and my future best man, I prefer to think of Christmas in its one universal meaning...

Peace on Earth, goodwill toward men. Give to others, and wash your hands before you touch that.

Happy Holidays, folks.
