Atheistic calendar

Atheistic calendar
We must create an atheistic calendar. I think Lawrence Krauss and Richard Dawkins do not want to live according to the Gregorian Catholic calendar. And I do not want to.

Just remember that a lot of the current callender is simply repurposed pagan and heathen terms and dates.

So, just learn about the history of the callender and 'Take back' the stuff from its Catholic apropriators.

Cheers.

Not at work.

Yes. Christmas and the day of the Slavic god Kolyada fall on the day of the winter solstice. Christianity emerged from more ancient European mythologies

They tried this in the French Revolution. It was actually quite beautiful. 

Today is the 3rd of Nivôse, Decade 10. Today is dedicated to bitumen.

Of course I do.  I find it very convenient.  For instance, if my calendar didn't have 'Ash Wednesday' marked on it, I'll probably go round we-wiping strangers' foreheads.

But seriously, what good do you think is going to come of your letter to European politicians?  Can you imagine them sitting round the conference table at the next G7 and saying, 'Let's put the world economy and global warning to the side for now and take up this calendar issue'?

Lamarck was at best an innovator, but not a very good one.  He got everything wrong about evolution, and didn't believe in chemistry.

quite possible discussion. The USSR switched to the Catholic calendar. Although, the Russian Orthodox. The atheistic calendar is more global than the catholic. Why do Japanese and Greeks use Catholicism? Great7 discussed Gorbachev in the USSR and human rights in China, freedom of speech. The calendar is a good question, modern, progressive.
