Meh, I don\u2019t know. I tolerate Christmas. But there is a lot of stuff I hate this time of year. I hate the cold. I hate snow. I hate crowds. (Damn it Walmart! I just want to buy 48 rolls of toilet paper! Now I\u2019m stuck behind the dregs of humanity doing their last minute shopping.) I hate spending money on people. It\u2019s better to give than receive? Are you kidding me? It\u2019s always better to get!<\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"color: #000080;\"> But I tolerate it because I am a believer. Yes, I believe in God and Jesus Christ. So I put up with a certain amount of crap during the holidays because, you know, Jesus. But the thing that I hate the most during the Christmas season is the rise of the assholes.<\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"color: #000080;\"> A lot of assholes who happen to be atheists feel the need to increase their assholish output this time of year. They feel that just like a vegan at Thanksgiving dinner people want to hear what they have to day.<\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"color: #000080;\"> Shut the fuck up. I applaud your atheist beliefs, I will fight for your right to be an atheist and not be persecuted for your beliefs. But its Christmas now, so do me the honor of shutting the fuck up.<\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"color: #000080;\"> Now, not all assholes are atheists, not all atheists are assholes. But atheists that are assholes love to shout against Christmas decorations or saying Merry Christmas. As if the twinkling lights are burning lasers to atheists, or me saying Merry Christmas turns me into Voldermort and I just threw the death spell at you. Relax. Unclench. Maybe I missed the dark times when atheists were locked up in camps during Christmas and force feed figgy pudding while watching Rudolph on loop 24 hours a day.<\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"color: #000080;\"> If you don\u2019t believe in it you have the right to shut the fuck up. That\u2019s the great thing about this country, even though we have free speech we also have the right to keep our yaps shut when nobody is being hurt.<\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"color: #000080;\"> So if you are an atheist during this time of year just do what I do during St. Patrick\u2019s Day and Cinco de Mayo, shut the fuck up and drink.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><span style=\"color: #000080;\">Dave, the black guy<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">You can like Dave on <a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/davetheblackguy\">Facebook here<\/a>, follow him on <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/Realdaveblack\">Twitter here<\/a>, and see him at the Comedy cafe and other venues\u2026for times and dates check his FB or twitter!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>This weeks blog from Dave the Black Guy!
