In response to the federally-supported National Day of Prayer, which is an abuse of the constitution, a group of nontheists and traditional religious allies who value the separation of church and state, have declared today the National Day of Reason. This day is being observed on the first Thursday of May, which is the National Day of Prayer.
What is the purpose of the National Day of Reason? It exists to encourage the secular and religious organizations to effect positive change in their communities. The goal of this effort is to celebrate reason -- a concept all Americans should support -- and to raise public awareness about the persistent threat to religious liberty posed by government intrusion into the private sphere of worship. Regardless of how you plan to celebrate this day, the important message is to provide an positive, useful, constitutional alternative to the exclusionary National Day of Prayer.
What are you doing to celebrate this National Day of Reason?

Well, I just tried reasoning with the cat. I suppose it worked about as well as prayer.

Bob;
I'm sure you realise that cats understand everything we say, they simply refuse to lower themselves to our level by responding.
Well, that is the impression I got from the cats who have chosen to grace me with their presence.
Sadlly, as I've aged, I have become allergic to some cats.
