Do The Goodly Ungodly Consider The Religious Imagery On Christmas Stamps Acceptable

or 'solicitors', even

I don't consider it at all I'm afraid, I just don't care enough about what's on a stamp.

[RATTER15]

Its just a stamp, I aint gonna lose no sleep over it, I would have preferred a pic of the real Santa but there you go.

You never know I may even sing along to a religious Xmas carol as well if I get drunk over the festive season ;-)

Atheism is not a belief, sandyRoe; it is the very opposite: a refusal to believe absurd things. Of course, you could stretch the everyday use of the language and say that a rejection of unicorns, fairies and fire-breathing dragons are beliefs, in which case be my guest.
But if you use the language that cavalierly then don't expect anything you say to be taken seriously.

[sandyRoe]

Wouldn't it be a dull old world if there were no leeway in language.

[chakka35]

As a professional user of our language I agree with that, sandyRoe. But calling a cow a sheep is not leeway, just wrong.

[sandyRoe]

Surely you're not suggesting that some of the goodly unGodly are cows? Would the phrase,'the sheep from the goats' not have had a more mellifluous ring to it?

[sandyRoe]

I meant there^ the words, sheep and goat rather than cow and sheep.
