Isn't there a curse you can send round on a card to people you _don't_ like?

They always say that they /could/ do a curse but it would come back on
them so they don't. 8-;

We were somewhere around Barstow, on the edge of the desert, when the
drugs began to take hold. I remember "Micky Savage"
saying something like:

Was Yule hijacked by you dog types? It is a pagan festival


I believe in none of your ****, so **** off.

are you suggesting Christ was not born conveniently at the winter
solstice? How absurd.

"there came wise men from the east", there was a programme on R4 the
other day, Ian Hyslop looking at all the stuff that got made up later,
did you know it doesnt even snow in Bethlehem in December, those xmas
cards are a fraud! :-) They were probably astrologers! Out of favour
now.

No sure that lambs are born at the solstice either. Or that shephreds
tend their flocks by night in midwinter. Got them all in the stables.

Anyway, the accepted science is the JC popped up about march time, and
this coincides neatly with some comet or other. Wasn't 0BC either IIRC.

"science"?


As in correlating the vague hints in the bible with a realistic real
timeline that conforms to he scientific worldview..i.e. one that
contains events that proceed from laws of nature to phenomenal
realities, rather than divine intervention.

Don't you just love the traditional carols tho'.

We three kings of orient are
One on a motorbike
One in a car
One on a scooter
Pipping his hooter
Following yonder star

Oh, star of wonder
Star of light
Sit on a box of dynamite
Light the fuse and off we go
Around the world
To Mexico

OR;

We three kings of Leicester Square
Selling ladies underwear
How fantastic
No elastic
Only a penny a pair

OR;


We three Beatles of Liverpool are
Paul on a bus
John in a car
George on a scooter
Blowing his hooter
Followed by Ringo Starr

Don.

What? Not take the bible literally? Tell that to the Americans.


Nowhere in the Bible does it say that december 25 was the brats birthday.

That as a Roman invention as part of the politicization of a suitable
sect to pacify the solstice worshiping barbarians.

There is little evidence that spring was the time of the crucifixion.
either.

indeed, where can we fit it in?

either.


or that it happened?


Oh, I think it probably did. Crucifixion was fairly common.

Resurrection, that is a slightly different story..at least as its
*portrayed*..
