I look forward to reading your entertaining overviews of other world religions. Please do make the effort - I am rather bored today.
Come on, you know that the premise is idiotic. It's like people believing in Pinocchioism, today is the day that Geppetto was turned into a star to look down on us forever. Same level of ridiculousness, there is no reason to respect that. Polish armed forces day on the other hand, that makes a whole lot of sense.
A little thinking never hurt anyone. I don't find it an excuse, sorry.
Amen to that. Being just a bit aware of what's going on in your environment goes a long way.
Because it's a holiday, a free day for everyone.
