024- RELIGIOUS OBSERVANCES ARE FOR SQUARES (LIKE PANTS)

Three points.

(1. I'm not an idiot. I know what this week is. By all means, have a Southern Baptist-style potluck supper for all I care. I'm not gonna be the little archangel that rained on your religious parade.

(2. In case you're all worried, no, I don't celebrate April Fool's Day. I'm a little more professional than that, thanks. Although, given the sheer number of dick moves people pull on that day, it's my busiest time of the year. ...That and Thanksgiving. I'm not sure why.

Anyway.

(3. I'm dragging Irene into the CES tomorrow. We'll be gone... Oh, a good three or four days. Maybe. If you need anything.... Y'know what? Just don't need anything.

That's not why I did it. It really isn't.

Thanksgiving?

I'm just pointing out to the Marquis and anyone else who might think I'm sitting here on my little angel pedestal being huffy and offended that I got nixed by the Christians that I could care less. The fact that people think I oughta be offended bugs me more than anything.

American holiday, promoting gluttony and arguments on the front lawn. Real classy.

Oh, right. Fair enough. I still didn't exactly do it to 'nix' you, but if you're not bothered... alright.

It seems that way. That makes no sense. Why have a holiday to celebrate a sin?

Trust me, Howie. It takes a lot to bother me.

So you are aware, sir, you may encounter another camping party in the CES whilst you are there.

Probably boundaries left unpushed, I imagine.

In the eyes of a cynical son of a bitch like me, every major American holiday celebrates a sin. Christmas? Greed. Valentine's Day? Lust. Fourth of July? Wrath.

Oh, Irene'll love that. People much more capable than she is out in the fake blue yonder with her.

You ain't kiddin'.

Fourth of July? I have heard of the others but, what is so special about that day?

Though I must warn you, the purpose of this other party's camping trip is escapism.

I imagine it best to keep a healthy distance, rather than approach?

Through toil and bloodshed, America's independence from England was recognized. Let freedom ring, blah, blah, blah.

Don't worry, Mrs. S, this is a learning experience for my inmate. I'm not poking any bears but the one I'm with.

From what I have heard of the country...good riddance.

Angelica, please. But thank you. It is appreciated.

...Three days?

Yep! Not much of a camping trip if you don't make it last.

I wouldn't call gluttony a true sin, regardless of what the bible might say...

I actually kinda agree with that. In fact, I'd have it removed as one of the Seven Deadly Sins altogether, buuut religion ain't like Congress. Go figure.

A sin is a sin. Whether or not you judge someone because of it is a different matter. I am hardly the person to judge a person on sins, however.

I don't really ascribe to any religion, but...really? ~~Guys~~ People deserve to be labeled "sinful" just because they like to eat? That doesn't sit well with me.

All of the "deadly sins" are normal, natural aspects of human behavior. In excess, they can be harmful, yes, but I wouldn't call any of them sinful.

Gluttony is probably the most benign of the seven.
