Housemate: Question. Why is Friday evening the end of Friday but, Christmas Evening is the beginning of Christmas?

Me: Technically there are two. “Christmas eve” and “Christmas Eve”. That’s not counting the third one, where “Christmas” refers to the season instead of the day(s), meaning there are many Christmas eves but only one Christmas Eve.

    Jk. I’m dense and misread what the 2nd housemate said because English is in fact dumb as shit. We said the same thing differently.

    This doesnt change the fact that there is no god.

      Somebody casually mentioning Christmas (the holiday) isn’t a good reason for you to say multiple times, unsolicited, that “there is no god”. Fun fact, “proselytizing” applies to what you’re trying to do here, too. And it’s obnoxious. So you identify as atheist that hard, huh? Do you want to tell me, unsolicited, that you identify as Linux and vegan too?
