"This has serious implications for Christianity," noted Gen. Delivery. "If we can start a religion from a satirical website, it begins to make you wonder." Efforts are under way to capitalize on this development, with official Generic Belief tee shirts and bibles available for sale to the devout in the near future.

The trend towards ever shorter days will only be reversed if people drink a lot of mead and worship oak trees, the Archdruid advised. "It is possible that by the third week of December we can reverse this trend towards total darkness if people buy lots of presents for other people," the Archdruid added. "It has worked in the past."
