I know people who are complete athesist yet they celebrate Christmas and easter likes it's nobodys buisness.

Silly traditions.



I'm going to drink some tea and smoke some hash

dank hash man!

I agree traditions can be silly, but I'm an atheist agnostic, yet I celebrate these traditions solely because my family does, and I love my family, so I'll ride through it even though I want to trip my ass off today.

Tomorrow I'll be to the exponent of , so

I've had my fill of coffee today, and since you mentioned tea, it's time for green tea for me, as well as some

Happy Easter everyone! I'm signing off now so I can get started with my list of doin' thangs.

I'm gonna raise my kids to appreciate existence, consciousness, the planet it's self.. And understand life simply as being a bi-product of our planet.. Nothing more, Nothing less... Thus eliminating bullshit ass holidays like easter / xmas..  Ultimately I won't have to lie to my children about Santa or the Easter Bunny, Not to mention I won't have to spend money on material bullshit while doing so... To be honest it's a disgusting tradition... Not just Xmas/Easter... All of the bullshit fairytails we use as tools while painting pretty pictures for children instead of raising them to be ready for the REAL WORLD..

While I agree with your perspective, I have to say that these traditions and fairy tales can be a good thing
for a child. It leaves them with wonder and awe, and a belief/faith in some sort of magic. I believe magic is
real, but not in the sense that these fairy-tales represent. A 5-year old contemplating on existential
philosophy may screw with their heads, but honestly, I have no idea.

You do have a point, because I've looked at raising children in the same perspective, but I also see the
perspective of keeping joyous awe for children via stories and tradition. Eventually children will grow up and
realize the bullshit they have been fed when they were young, but I don't think it's a good thing to take that
illusory 'magic' away from them either, in the end, I don't know..

I could easily see a child growing up knowing that there is no flying spaghetti monster and being a one-sided
thinker, constantly dismissing the notion of their being a form of authentic 'magic' and/or some form of
mysticism, and that would only be because of their parents cramming materialistic ideas into their heads at a
young age. And by materialistic I mean materialism in the sense that all we are are just flesh and bones that eventually decay and die. Not materialism as in 'omg i want that necklace~!'...:

I got hardcore runner's high by the 40 minute mark.  I could've gone all day but the machine kicked me off and my gym buddy was pooped. 

At a certain point you just go into auto-pilot.

The only time I experienced runners high was when I was in high-school gym class, my legs began to feel like
jelly and I collapsed. I love running though, I need to do more of that, but lately dancing has been my form
of cardio. I'm trying to regenerate my endogenous endorphins, so I can without the 'greed' for
opiates. My friend says that after he works out, he feels like he's on a 10mg hydrocodone. That's gotta be
awesome.
