Saint Valentines Day

Another day to run out, and get that special someone in your life a card, flowers, candy, jewelry, or a gift of some sort. These holidays just sprout up all over the place. They all have some sort of Christian connotation to them too. The holiday is far from what the original purpose was.

I did a little research, and no one is really sure why Saint Valentines Day became the lovers holiday. Its been rumored to be birds mating, to a number of other possibilities. I'm sure that the hook up holiday had nothing to do with a Saint. People who make it to sainthood usually have very little to do with lovers.

Saint Valentines day is also the number one cheaters holiday of the year. More people cheat on their spouses or significant others on this holiday than any other day of the year. How romantic. Just the way we should acknowledge a religious figure. Why else would the initials be V.D.

In Saudi Arabia, Saint Valentines day is outlawed, because it is believed to be a religious holiday. In all truths, it isn't. It was a day that honored a saint, that got twisted around and became the lovers/sex/cheating holiday. It's as religious as arbor day.

Besides, any religious figure known as a Saint, is declared by the Pope. So, in order to recognize a Saint, you must be Roman Catholic. Therefore, if one were to celebrate a day involving a Saint as a religious holiday, and you were a religion other than Roman Catholic, that would make someone a heretic. At least that is what logic makes me think.

All in all, Valentines Day as we know it is bullshit. Its a bunch of made up crap to sell shit. A conspiracy by card and candy companies to make money. Do you really need a holiday to show someone you love how you feel, or should you be showing them every day?

Single folk like me... we just sit around and make fun of you couples who run around like dumbasses today to celebrate the capitalist holiday. Haha!!! *points and laughs*
