To all of the mothers and mothers-to-be!

Give your Mom something special today!

It's bittersweet for me... my Mom passed away exactly 2 weeks ago today. Mom is in a special place and not suffering anymore

The first American Mother's Day was celebrated in a Church, which makes it a Religious
(Christian to be exact) holiday.

but it was signed into a law by Wilson, so I see no reason that anyone who wants to celebrate can't.

As it was a Methodist church, then by your logic only Methodists should be able to celebrate which of course would be absurd.

See Wiki below

When the first anything takes place in a place of worship that makes it Religious. Like most marriages are consummated in a place of worship, making the marriage a religious ceremony.

That is some kinky stuff. Anyway, I'm off to tell my Mom we can't celebrate Mother's Day because religion.

Being a mother is not an easy task, everyone should be thankful for all that she has sacrificed and done for us.   I lost mine 36 years ago, but still remember her fondly.  

  Sorry for your loss.

... with the thread topic?

sorry that you are having a lousy day, but don't take it out on others.

No need to apologize.

A marriage was not consummated until the couple engaged in sexual intercourse. I would have thought a card carrying Mensa member would have known that.

try reading the entire Wikipedia page before sharing your vast knowledge of a subject. On the other hand, one of the more idiotic branches I've seen so bravo I guess.

Who cares when the first Mother's Day was celebrated or by whom?   Knowing that is okay and insightful, but...

Being a mother has nothing to do with religion.   Weather you are an atheist or agnostic has nothing to do with the bond between a mother and her child.  Keep all of that other shit out of it.  Mothers should be celebrated by all of us.  

Without them, you wouldn't be here, or anywhere else... ever.

All that other shit is irrelevant to me

After all, it's just a reminder of what she spawned. Do you think she'll make him some biscuits?

Except for that Big Mac I eat for lunch.  I bought my mother  a nice bouguet of flowers.

I hope it eased her pain, though I doubt it.

does she give you bible lessons too?

Nope mom never gave me a bible lesson.

Biscuits are baked, too.  What a coincidence.

I observe any holiday I wish.

How's my driving... call 1-800 Eat Shit!!!
