“This year’s Easter Sunday happens to fall on the same day as the marijuana holiday, 4/20. Which means no matter what your religion, this Sunday you’re probably going to see a giant bunny.” –Conan O’Brien
As an atheist I appreciate the sentiment. At least they recognize my existence.
Interesting thought… One group mentioned on the sign above believe a homeless Jewish apocalystic preacher walked out of a tomb after being executed by the Roman authority. One group celebrates God’s indescriminate murder of thousands of Egyptians whilst sparring the Jews based on a lamb’s blood cross ton the door…
..and somehow atheists are the group that need luck. With fuzzy thinking like that it’s a wonder how religious people navigate the real world.
I don’t mean to be cynical in this festive season…
But was that genuine… or was “good luck” meant in a.. tone… that would convey “but I don’t really mean ‘good luck’, you godless jerk”
No idea which church that is, so it’s hard to know.
I’m guessing that it was a sarcastic dig, but it really doesn’t matter to me. Recognition was the main thing. Plus, like I said, of the Christian story, the Jewish story and the atheist story, the last one is the only “story” that makes any sense at all. If not believing mythical fairy tales as actual events and organizing my life around their fictions makes me a jerk, then call me a jerk.

I think I speak for my fellow Atheists when I say Thanks! That’s nice but we don’t really care.
