I just read in an email: “Happy Turkey Day!” Which is like saying, “Happy Mashed Potatoes Day!” We’re not worshipping the turkey, are we? Where are you putting the focus? I’m here to be thankful to God for what He’s provided me with. Its not a day about turkeys is it? Even if you remove the current culture’s rather agnostic/atheistic views from the picture verses my radical Christianity** and go back in history the people were grateful for surviving and they were grateful, together, for what they had. Saying happy turkey day is useless… especially if you’re a vegetarian. Or worse yet: A Hindu. That’s like saying, “Happy We’re Going to Be Eating Your Great-Great-Grandma Day!”
Happy Thanksgiving folks, from the bottom of my un-PC heart.
**that’s supposed to be a joke, I consider myself radical, but not the way some people define radical
Interesting.. Even if you remove the current cultures rather agnostic/atheistic views from the picture.. I see the current culture as decidedly religious. I feel like agnostic/atheists are very much in the minority.
Anyway, happy thanksgiving 🙂
Interesting point…but happy turkey/mashed potato/thanksgiving/football day. =)
