A Day For People With Engaged Brains
Yes, it's the National Day Of Reason:
Why a "National Day of Reason?"Many who value the separation of church and state have sought an appropriate response to the federally-funded National Day of Prayer, an annual abuse of the constitution. Nontheistic Americans (including freethinkers, humanists, atheists and agnostics), along with many traditionally religious allies, view such government-sanctioned sectarianism as unduly exclusionary.
A consortium of leaders from within the community of reason endorsed the idea of a National Day of Reason. This observance is held in parallel with the National Day of Prayer, on the first Thursday in May (5 May 2005). The goal of this effort is to celebrate reason - a concept all Americans can support - and to raise public awareness about the persistent threat to religious liberty posed by government intrusion into the private sphere of worship.
I'm disappointed to report that my governator, for whom I voted, despite his dumbass choice of vehicles, endorsed the National Day Of Irrationality.
Who wants to be reasonable on Cinco de Mayo?

Rational people have more fun. (We don't have to sit on those hard pews, for one.) Then again, religious nuts have dirtier sex.

HEY! Speak for yourself, sister! I pride myself on out-dirtying the religious nuts!

I learned all the ins and outs of cocksucking from Father McInnehey back in 3rd grade. Without his years of tender mentoring, I wouldn't be the high-paid transgendered streetwalker that I am today!

Yeah, but we Christians still have the better sex. You atheists have no one to scream to!

No one to scream to? How about my partner?! He or she would have earned it, after all... heh heh.

I think as long as you're screaming, the particulars aren't all that essential. I've always been fond of the post-Catholics, myself.

I find that screaming a good secular line like "FUCK ME!" is usually very effective. There's no need to evoke false gods when the guy is really well hung.

It's not religious people who are great in bed. It's crazy people. You know, the ones who throw a glass at your head when you ask them if they want to go see Life Aquatic at the cheap seats and you never quite figure out why or what the objection is.
There just happens to be a higher than control-group concentration of crazies who just happen to be religious.
