Update since we did the first post on this story. Preliminary approval has been granted. Final approval is still pending. What would such a park entail?
“The theme park would include an ancient walled city, a petting zoo, live animal shows featuring giraffes and elephants and a replica of the biblical Tower of Babel.”

I’m an atheist. Christmas, Hanukkah, Solstice, whatever. It’s all the same. If you are honestly, openly wishing me a happy time, I like you, and I will smile and wish you the same.
However, if I say, “happy holidays,” and you respond with a snappy “merry Christmas” as if you are correcting me, then I’m going to look at you as if you kicked a puppy. Most...

Me: would you say you could tell if someone is gay from their music library?
Alan: yeah, duh. But it has to have like A LOT of questionable tunes. Everyone has some guilty pleasures.

Psychological Projection
Psychological projection or projection bias is a psychological defense mechanism where a person unconsciously denies their own attributes, thoughts, and emotions, which are then ascribed to the outside world, such as to the weather, or to other people. Thus, it involves imagining or projecting that others have those feelings.[1]

bigblackbootslongbrownhair:
Nope!
My roomies and I sometimes christen the holiday “Presentmas” because none of us really believe in organized religion. We’re those self-righteous jerks who say they’re “spiritual but not religious.”
We sing songs like “O Come All Ye Presents” and “Joy to the World (Presents have come)”
Okayyy It’s kind of douchebaggy but… I actually do love the holidays. It...
