Do atheists and Christians want a different name for the days of the week?

Do atheists and Christians want a different name for the days of the week?

Hee, hee! Do not offend the Pagan Gods and Goddesses with the suggestion of supplanting them with other, lesser names! ;-)

Oh, c'mon, thumbs downers, it was just a joke. I'm not really a polytheist... Okay, you've caught me, LOL... I really am a polytheist, but try to have a little more tolerance and a sense of humor... Would that really feel so bad?

If we're going to be silly, then I vote for Saturday to be Kestra Day. Saturday is everyone's favorite day of the week, and I want to be everyone's favorite! :-) Besides, we'd be right next to each other. How sweet is that? ;-)

I really like Equinox's answers. It conveys the feelings associated with a normal 5-day workweek.... :-) However, I think the titles are a bit on the long side, and I'd have trouble getting it right all of the time...lol

Tenzin: There's a great idea! Tuesday will be Pizza Day... and ummm, Wednesday should be Party Hat Day, or should it be Funny Hat Day? I'm starting to like this idea. We could always make all of the days of the week into something fun. *~<
