I hope the fundies don’t read this – they may take it seriously. Then it’s only a matter of time before some Fundamentalist Preacher starts campaigning against the traditional names of the days. “Pagan Worship Every Day Of The Week!”

I know! (It’s hard to write sarcastically without throwing these little emoticons in to let people know you’re being tongue-in-cheek.)

That’s the same logic they use for not having Christmas trees or not letting their child decorate their room with rainbows.

all I’m doing is following the Fundamentalists logic about Paganism and seeing where it leads me (up the creek without a paddle)

This could get pretty confusing if you decide it’s too pagan to use the names of the months too. I know January – Janus and June – Juno. July is for Julius Caesar and August for Augustus; they were people not gods, but people were expected to burn incense to them honoring them as gods so those names better be off limits too.

At first appearance, September – December should be okay since they’re just Latinized for NUMBERS (of course, all wrong because September is the ninth month not the seventh), but LATIN is used by Roman Catholics so those months should probably have their names changed as well.

Tuesday: Germanic name translates Mars the god of war, as Teiwaz. Teiwazday = Marsday.

Christians should not use the names of the days of the week – they are pagan.
Monday=moon
Tuesday (can’t remember, but definitely pagan)
Wenesday=Woden (viking god)
Thursday=Thor (ditto)
Friday=Freya (ditto)
Saturday=Saturn (roman god, not the planet)
Sunday=the Sun

I’m guessing all the little fundy kids get a Chick Tract and a chocolate cross made of cheap, inferior chocolate (yes, they’re real. I used to work at a candy store that sold them. Well, they were there…no one really bought them) instead of a Lindt or Godiva chocolate bunny.
