It gets a little better. I email him back, saying
"hahaha
As if Christmas is threatened, just because more people are reecognizing there's more than one holiday this season? That's just silly. "
A little later I get a reply.
"I guess you don't get it! There is no other holiday this season but CHRISTMAS Christmas is Christ birthday Didn't I teach yoy anything?"
Feeling concerned for my Dad's ignorance, I decided to educate him on the subject.
"Chrstmas isn't actually Jesus' birthday. It was originally the Winter Solstace. When Christ entered the world, the holiday became about celebrating Jesus instead."
His answer
"are they something wrong with your stupid mind? You are without a doubt the dumest bastard I've came across in quite a while."
There's some irony here, somewhere. My Dad is such a jolly fellow.
So, Social Entrophy, What rampant stupidity have your parents and family shared with you, across the internet?

I don't think there's much point explaining facts to him. He's got the whole world figured out, already.
Like how the sky is blue because it's a reflection of the ocean.

"CHECK OUT THIS AWESOME FACIAL"
it feels like something someone once told me but I'll be damned if I know if there's a lick of truth in it
hahahahahahaha
then again I'm not an internet joke fiend or anything like that
She does text me sometimes, but they're always well-written, grammatically correct text messages.
JordynNolz.com <- All my blogs (Shepard, Wasted, J'onn, DCAU) are here now!
spread the news
Jesus is a terrorist
and is also dating Brit Spears
They talked about it on the Boondocks cartoon. The weather in Bethlehem at this time of year is too cold for a person to be in a manger and not freeze to death
Because you're an idiot, I guess? I mean, this is just a guess, but let me know if it's close.
and jesus was born of mary's anus, that's how she kept her sacred virginity

Luckyily, Joseph Smith was on hand to deliver the baby.
I get a bunch of pictures with giant dogs sleeping with little kittens. So cute.
he had blankets,
oh yeah and was also fucking JESUS
BWAHAHAHAHA
the only conclusion I can draw from this is that Joseph was very likely Chinese
At Thanksgiving dinner my aunt yelled at me for not praying before we ate though, which was odd because I have told them all many times I no longer consider myself a christian.
Oh and then she started rambling about "how I'm not saying I believe it but Barack Obama does have a lot in common with the anti-Christ depicted in revelations" sooooo my extended family is bat-shit insane.

My Mom has good grammar, though she's terrible with technology.
My Dad, though, he's got the worst grammar of anyone I've met. He never finished Middle School.
I refuse to pull out the urtext so this is now true

obviously we are using a different calendar now, and I think that they picked the date to celebrate it just so they could override a pagan holiday with a Christian one
there are multiple theories though, pretty interesting

Like the time he linked me "INTELLIGENT DESIGN FOR DUMMIES" with the subject of "I couldn't make this shit up if I tried"
I saw it a week or ago and thought it was great. Its just a really warm movie and by the end I was just sitting there with the biggest grin on my face.
Fundies Say The Dardest Things is pretty much centered around this.
Yeah, it was a really sweet movie in general.
IT'S A FLYING DOG
I think the funnier fact is that we now believe he was born around 4 BC.
Let me tell you about video games. Let me tell you about Homestuck
