We celebrate the birth of our Savior that's the truth and what I tell them.
"If Christianity is untrue, then no honest man will want to believe it, however helpful it might be; if it is true, every honest man will want to believe it, even if it gives him no help at all."
C. S. Lewis - Essay, Man or Rabbit.

And thus you lie. Jesus was not born on 25th December.

That's what I did,until I was about 10. (I worked it out when I was about 6) I thought there might be no more pressies. Pretty much what I did with God too,but not the same reason. Believers give to god's self appointed representatives,all fucking year.

Fair enough too Ned.. Angel Cloud


Do you give them gifts? If so,how do you explain them? If not,why not? Children are credulous,they will [obviously] believe anything you tell them. Santa would be no problem.
