One of my friends told me that there are hard times ahead and people have stopped worshiping one of the old gods.

I said, "who, Ra?"

He got angry and shouted, "IT'S NOTHING TO CELEBRATE!"

Me: History is so old.

History: UR old.
- Every time someone types 'ur' in text speech, for a split second, I think, "the city?"
  
  Just Sumerian things
Ancient Egyptian dad jokes
Ours is a fun god!
Ours is the sun god!
Ra ra ra!
- Don'tcha wish yer god was was fun like me? Don'tcha wish yer god was a freak like me? Don'tcha?
- I learned a slightly different version of that chant on Usenet all the way back in the early 90s.
  
  I, too, am old.
I didn't get it, until i mumbled it out loud, and now i feel like an idiot for not getting it sooner :/

👍 If i can get someone else in on this, it would make an amusing workplace skit.
I for one, have been worshiping the old gods all along.

That's a terrible dad joke. I giggle-snorted.
I've stopped worshipping several of the old gods, not just one. Mwahahaha. You can't stop me.
- Just like the old days of Rome -- you don't keep worshiping a god who doesn't make it worth your while. Hey, Jupiter -- what have you don for me lately?
- Do you want to go to the field of reeds after you die or do you want your heart eaten by a crocodile? Because I'm telling you, it won't be Aaru for you my friend. Not on that ferry.
  
  It's fine, I've come to the understanding that capitalism > faith and that I can just bribe Charon with a coin instead to ferry me across.
  
  Besides, I stopped worshipping the moksha type of old gods, not the aaru kind.
