'Tis the Season (almost) -- your favorite Nativity photos here!

And yet all that Star of Bethlehem myth is actually the Egyptian myth of “three wise men”—the three stars in the belt of Orion—whose rising announced the coming of Sothis, the Star of Osiris: that is, Sirius, the brightest star in the sky, whose coming heralded the annual flood of the Nile.

But hey, the myth still grows today because Christianity always assimilates other popular myths so no wonder it started assimilating UFO mythology.
teachings of the Bible are so muddled and self-contradictory that it was possible for Christians to happily burn heretics alive for five long centuries. It was even possible for the most venerated patriarchs of the Church, like St. Augustine and St. Thomas Aquinas, to conclude that heretics should be tortured (Augustine) or killed outright (Aquinas). Martin Luther and John Calvin advocated the wholesale murder of heretics, apostates, Jews, and witches. - Sam Harris, "Letter To A Christian Nation"
