A very Wiccan Christmas
"Once she found out I had a background in theology, she did the predictable: 'So then you know that the celebration of Christmas was designed to replace an originally pagan ritual?'
Now it's one thing if I am in a bad mood, and you accidentally set me off with a 'Merry Meet.' But in this case, we have the dialectical equivalent of walking up to the 'Detonate' button on my brain, flicking off the safety, and poking it repeatedly to see what happens. The short answer to her question would have been: 'Yes, in the same way in which the automobile replaced the horse and buggy.'"
Now this guy is intense.
