   The twelve days of Xmas actually start on Xmas day, but this is a   
   countdown to Xmas showing why Xmas is as senseless as it is stupid as a   
   Christian death-cult ritual.   
      
   Do you know what believers never ask?  What’s actually, and honestly, the   
   _best_ explanation for the beliefs they hold?   
      
   Is it really that there is a big bearded giant in the sky who created   
   literally everything from literally nothing for no apparent reason, who   
   is supposedly perfect in every way, with boundless love, yet he gets   
   angry and jealous, and he created us knowing that by this very act of   
   creation he was going to condemn thousands upon thousands of people to an   
   eternity of torment and misery?   
      
   That's not a benign deity - it's an evil one.  Religion makes no sense   
   when you _think_ about it.
