Zagmuk Conquers All!

• ncc-1776.org by L. Neil Smith

For the past few years, I have written several essays in response to various conservatives' false claim that America is a "Christian country".

Rather than reiterate what I said then, I would ask the curious reader to consult with Thomas Paine or Haym Solomon about that, to remember that Thomas Jefferson's handful of pronouncements on God are clearly metaphorical, and that Benjamin Franklin belonged to an organization whose members dedicated themselves to violating every one of the Ten Commandments.

If you just have to see what I have said, myself, here are some examples:

"Mesopotamian Merriment"

"A Message from the Publisher"

"Christmas in Cuneiform"

"Zagmuk, Christmas, and the Whole Nine Candles"
(This is an especially good one.)

Conservatives have long whimpered about corporate and goverment policies forbidding employees who make contact with the public to wish said members "Merry Christmas!" at the appropriate time of the year, out of a moronic and purely irrational fear of offending members of the public who don't happen to be Christian, but are Jewish, Muslim, Hindu, Buddhist, Sikh, Jain, Rastafarian, Ba'hai, Cthuluites, Wiccans, worshippers of the Flying Spaghetti Monster, or None of the Above. The politically correct benediction, these employees are instructed, is "Happy Holidays".
