Happy...

[Flynn]

… St George's Day all.

Last month I celebrated St David's Day and St Paddy's Day with many English, Welsh, and Scots friends. In January we celebrated Burns Night, and a great time was had by all, and back in November we all celebrated St Andrews Day too.


So I'd like to wish any English folk on the forum a Happy St Georges Day, have a great time all of you.

Thanks!! Same to you.

P.S.: are you celebrating all these holidays only because... it's an excuse to have more fun?

What is? Having Patron Saints Days?

As an atheist I'd have to say Yes.

Flynn you are a Hypocrite, you are a self confessed Atheist and yet here you are celebrating a religious festival, wow radical man.

I give people Christmas presents too, doesn't make me a Christian. I also say "Oh my giddy Aunt', but none of my Aunts are giddy. I also eat easter eggs, but I don't believe in the pagan goddess Eostre. Patron Saints Days are not religious any more, they're just an excuse to have a barbecue and a drink with friends, nothing more.

You can use the day as an excuse to have fun without actually celebrating religious dogma.
