Was the star of Bethlehem a real astronomical event?

I just don't understand why people can't be friendlier and kinder. We can agree to disagree about things, without insults and hosility.

Then if that's the case why do you enter a thread that is going to 'prod' you?

Maybe I find your posts insulting? Maybe when you respond with the kind of thing you've been responding with in this thread, I feel you're insulting my intelligence. Just because you don't use certain words, doesn't make the things you say any less insulting.

Tip: When you say things like 'I'm not presupposing anything' and then in the same breath contradict that statement, I'm going to ridicule you, because it's stupid. Also, just because your view exists, doesn't mean it automatically deserves respect. In this case, it certainly doesn't.
