Google needs holiday help
How in hell does an atheist blogger get top billing for the search term ‘Christmas dialog.’ My humble apologies to all directed here in search of xmas cheer. Because you won’t find it at guff. Not even in the egg nog.
And more later this week on my absence. Or I’ll just start blogging again like nothing happened. What fun this time of year is!

The answer is simple…Google LOVES WordPress! :)
Then how is it this guff is only at #7? Huh? Huh? And that’s with my old Blogger version still hanging out at #3. What am I to make of that?!
So let’s review for the sake of the search engines: I’m all about guff—I’m very little about xmas. The needle is also near the bottom of the interest-o-meter when it comes to me and karaoke, which thankfully Google and I seem to agree on.
I think that as an atheist youre looking at christmass all the wrong way. Rejoice in it being a fantastical hijacking of a christian/pagan (insert religion X here) day of celebration by the hoards of humanist, non-god fearing evil doers who are instead of praying to likle baybe jesus, are instead praying the almighty cash god and the “Ive got a bigger, better one than my neighbours” deity. Certainly a day to be praised by all the secular people in the world.
I think, if baby jesus was alive today and saw people hanging shiny trinkets on deciduous trees, ripped from the ground in their prime only to be starved over christmas then thrown in the bin, he’d surely turn in his grave?
:-D ;-)
As an atheist, and even as a person harboring a deep and abiding distaste of the modern need to commercialize absolutely everything, I spend as little time as possible looking at xmas. And once you get down the art of driving through the city with your eyes shut tight, it’s not all that hard to do.
However, I’ve been informed that xmas seems to spend a lot of its time looking at me. Damn stalker holiday.
Alive and turning in his grave? Boy, that baby Jesus is something special!
Ah, well you see i find my atheism fits in neatly with the commercialisation of christmas. Of the two ‘evils’ I think commercialism is a far better master than a ‘god’, atleast with shopping I can choose when to go to the altar of Habitat or bow down to the one true messiah Steve Jobs – theres not some magical, mythical being ordering me about – just me, the bank and my credit card.
I know I’m a little late on this one, but as for Christmas being hijacked, I’m in agreeance and I even blogged about it. I have no problems with atheists, or anyone for that matter (unless of course, their religion dictates they kill me or something). However, in reference to Matthew’s comment:
I have no idea which church or religious groups he’s been exposed to, but I’ve always been taught that God is the creator, not the master. We are our own masters – he gave us free will to do as we pleased. But since this is not my blog, I’ll respect that and not get into a religious debate.
I agree, if you don’t believe in God or subscribe to a religion, then of course, don’t participate in the their holidays. As for why Google associates your blog with Christmas dialogue – I’ve heard that Google is going through “some stuff” :)
