One of my New Year's resolutions is to finally "come out" as an Atheist. Couldn't think of any better way to do it, but with this song. Lyrics below. Enjoy!
There’s been some talk about a War on
Christmas
Implying there’s no way to celebrate
The happy holiday without at
a’blurrin’
The line betwixt religion and the
state
They say the season is meant for
“Believing”
But I believe that’s just a load o’
guff
All you need to believe in at
Christmas
Is eating and drinking and giving and
getting stuff!
It’s fun to be an Atheist at
Christmas
Trust me, I’ve done lots of research
Great to be an Atheist at Christmas
All of the presents none of the goin’
to church!
At my house there’s a moment every
Christmas
We think ‘bout getting on our knees to
pray
But then we realize that we don’t
have to
And we just go open presents anyway
No deity brings us the Christmas
spirit
It comes along ‘cuz simply ‘tis the
Season
For us to be nice and to give to
others
There needn’t be some supernat’ral
reason
It’s fun to be an Atheist at
Christmas
In no way does that make the season
flawed
Great to be an Atheist at Christmas
All of the presents none of the
blood-debt owed to some sky-god
(Bridge)
We skip the mass. We skip the prayer
We skip the rosaries
We skip the rosaries
We skip those comic’ly embarrassing
live nativity scenes
We just blow off the churching
We hold days off too dear
Which makes us just like everyone
else
Except for twice a year
Fun to be an Atheist at Christmas
Ye are free to do just what thou wilt
Great to be an atheist at Christmas
All of the presents, none of the
Catholic guilt
I know, I know, the “True meaning of
Christmas!”
The Virgin Birth, the manger, all
those trappin’s
But in our house it’s all about elves
and reindeer
Which seem to me more likely to have happened!
Sure the tale of Jesus’ birth is
nifty
A magic guy with 12 most helpful
friends
But Santa’s got 9 flying reindeer
And his story doesn’t have the violent
end…
Fun to be an Atheist at Christmas
The joy simply cannot be denied
Great to be an Atheist at Christmas
All of the presents none of the baby
who’s gonna get crucified!
So don’t tell me that there's a“War on
Christmas”
Just 'cause some folks wish Happy
Holidays
If being kind and thoughtful attacks
Christmas
You’ve lost that war already anyway
And If you’ll pardon this strange
contradiction
For an Atheist this time is heaven
sent
The best gift of all’s telling Bill
O’reilly
And Sarah Palin they can just get
bent!
It’s fun to be an Atheist at
Christmas
That’s not even open for debate
Great to be an Atheist at Christmas
All the presents none of the Santa,
oh wait we get all the Santa too! (Even
Naughty Santa!)
All of the presents, none of the carolling…
No wait, this is a carol, we get plenty of carols..…
All of the presents none of the
drinking…
Wait, we get TONS of drinking…
guilt-free drinking…
Oh yeah, that's it...
All of the presents, none of
the pious Fox news commentators!
Happy Holidays everybody!
