I wanted to give this particular post both thumbs. 😉

BTW, that wasn't me who gave you the thumbs-down. Mine would have been both green and red. Kind of Christmas-y come to think of it.

I would not trust you with that information. 🙂

Are you saying Jesus was a Spring Baby, or have you confused Christmas with Easter?

Oh how you swagger, you toothless flea.

What depth are you referring to? We are only a few inches front to back, and a few more side to side, so any depth you might imagine is only that, imaginary.

No, 3 months the other way.

I imagine somewhere around Rosh Hashanah, the Jewish New Year, which would be another syllogism.

Once it gets stuck on a space I like, it never moves again.
Hey, I never claimed Christians were big on thinking for themselves.

You'd do well to brush up on the history of December 25th and its pagan origins.

If you're not interested in going back further than the birth of Christ; you might begin at Rome's "Saturnalia".
Pagan origins are spurious at best.

You'd do better to view history in light of the truth instead of from pagan mythology.

In this context you make it sound like a platitude.

You don't think Christmas has its origin in paganism?

One of Christianity's greatest strengths was its ability to assimilate the customs of others. It simply wouldn't be here if it hadn't.
