Okay, so I'm flipping through my StarTribune, and apparently Thursday was the National Day of Prayer. So a bunch of Christians got together and had a worship service on the steps of the Minnesota State Capitol, and that's what the top photo is a picture of. Okay, so... cheesy, probably a little obnoxious, I sure wouldn't be there. But whatever- it looks like they're having a good time. Now, I was not aware of this, but apparently a bunch of Atheists got together and created the National Day of Reason to stave off the influence of the holy rollers in our midst. So the Minnesota Atheists were having a shindig at the Capitol, too, to celebrate their day, where they must sit around for an entire day and, um, reason. That's the bottom picture. Here's the newspaper clipping:
Soo... the National Day of Reason shindig looks less like a shindig and more like a Pissed-Off Convention. Wow. I mean, you don't have to be a person of faith to see that the Minnesota Atheists are NOT having a good time.Though I think the concept of a National Day of Prayer is a little silly, I'll take a Day of Prayer over a Day of Pissed-Off.
