Let's Rename Everything

Brant Hansen with a funny and enlightening post called "Don't Tell Me It's Wednesday". He concludes by saying:

Let’s re-name everything, and pretend our culture appeared out of thin air, thirty seconds ago. Sure, it would be a massive, and massively strange, project. We could make a court case out of it, since the Constitution itself doesn’t afford different protections for expression of mostly-dead religions and expression of religions more widely practiced.

Or, we could just chill, and recognize that, for example, Saturday is Saturday, whether I worship Saturn or not.

And we could even say that December 25^th is “Christmas” whether you’re a Christian or not. Heck, maybe then, with one of the most painfully annoying melody lines ever written, we could even wish you a merry one.
