Let’s raise some cash and awareness for the Secular Student Alliance #SSAWeek

Remember that time when you were staring into the night sky, and you said aloud to your audience of croaking frogs, buzzing mosquitos and blinking lightning bugs, “Star light, star bright, first star I see tonight, I wish I may, I wish I might, see Le Café Witteveen post every 30 minutes for eighteen straight hours one day really soon.”

Remember?

Well, your Disney Dreams have come true.

I’ve signed up to post even more than I do already for one day, in an effort to promote, the Secular Student Alliance, an organization so powerful, they’ve reaching down to the power of the blogs to assist them in their plight for world domination.

And by world domination I mean, giving secular kids a place to meet, talk about atheist, agnostic and freethinking topics whilst drinking pop and finger foods in a college atmosphere.

Apparently, this is a big deal … this posting every 30 minutes to promote the cause. Other bloggers have done it and lost their minds in the process.

But I’m going to do it, with lost mind already. I mean, who the hell agrees to a post every 30 gee dee minutes?

Idiots, that’s who.

Check out the list below to see the other folks who are ripping off their straight jackets for a chance to raise money for the cause (click here to view the list on the SSA web site).

Be sure to stop by the sites to follow along. Throw some bucks at it if you can. I know I will.

I wished I had an SSA at the little, Christian college I went to. It would have been sweet to see all the lightning.

Be prepared to help me with my donated time. I’ll need submissions and ideas for blogs. I’ll need pictures of your navel piercings. Nothing says, Raise money and awareness like a good navel piercing.

Jesus lobs a controversy bomb into the Nova Scotia school system, leaves, says, “Deal with it, people.”

Did you hear about the Nova Scotian grade 12 student whose High School principal suspended him for wearing a shirt promoting Jesus?

Well, if you didn’t, you probably will.

Like, now.

Here’s the story.

A student in Nova Scotia, named William Swinimer, loves Jesus so much he wears the above shirt to school day after day for several weeks. Teachers and students cry that it’s offensive. The Principal warns the student not to wear the shirt to school. He continues to wear it, citing “Jesus and I are dating. And he wants me to wear the shirt every day.”

Jesus has been surprisingly quiet about their relationship, which is expected from a non-existent deity who is more powerful than a zillion suns.

Regular reading Jude, who sent me this article as a recommendation to post, says that he doesn’t mind that William wore this shirt, as long as he can wear a shirt that says “God doesn’t exist.”

I agree with Jude.

But where I have to throw my hands up and shake my Fosse hands is when a student wears the same goddamn t-shirt to school for “several weeks” in a row.

Does this kid have no respect for his classmates? Is he looking for a target to be painted on his head to be the kid who only has ONE shirt.

William Swinimer is asking for it, if you ask me.

I could give two shits if Swinimer has a love affair with an imaginary friend.

Hey, Swinimer, do yourself a favor and fill your closet with variations of Jesus love shirts.

Hey, Nova Scotia, pull your collective heads out of your asses and let William be. He’s got every right to wear that stupid shirt. Just not every day. The stink alone has got to be offensive.

And rightly so!

Now that I’ve slammed this situation into the lockers as hard as I can, what do you think?

Thanks, Jude!
