"I'm a Christian and you know what? I think we (that's a Christian 'we') need to be more pagan, because the things described as 'pagan' these days are so often those human things that should be common to us all - celebrating the seasons, reflecting on the dead and so on." -- Jack Heron, 2011-10-21

[And whether you celebrate it as a religious holiday, celebrate it in some other respect, or just mark it as a bit of astronomical trivia, happy Winter Solstice!]

More Christians need to hear this, particularly in respect to funeral rites, where every sectarian* Christian sentiment is directly aimed at subverting and abnegating every natural human instinct for dealing with grief. As an atheist with a strong humanist bent, I find that infuriating, not least because it's such a transparent con game scheme for social control...

___________
* As in "of an established sect of Christianity," rather than pertaining to those Christians (host included) who practice no particular Christianity other than an adherence to the ostensible teachings of Christ.
