Bart Ehrman - Fuck Xmas
|
This, and Christians rail that their god is opposed to ass fucking. The irony is thick.
The wise men brought three gifts, this is why it's commonly assumed there were three of them, but there could have been 2 or more.
It's nice to get presents, at least once in the year... yeah, my birthday is very close to the 25thDec.... "Here you go, this is slightly larger than normal, it serves for both christmas and birthday presents" -.-'
1. The link should be labeled NSFW - it started blaring music when I clicked on it.
2. Yes, some extra-Biblical traditions have become attached. So what? They don't have any doctrinal significance. 
"Doctrinal significance" has no "doctrinal significance."
It's all just made-up shit....like Zeus and Leto screwing to give birth to Apollo and Artemis.

That is a really stupid question. ![[Image: facepalm.gif]](https://images.weserv.nl/?url=i1118.photobucket.com%2Falbums%2Fk619%2Fjcincain%2FEmoticons%2520Insults%2520and%2520Kudos%2Ffacepalm.gif)
It isn't.
In fact, the only time I give it any thought at all is when some asshole shows up here and insists that it is all real.  (December 12, 2012 at 12:06 pm)Cinjin Wrote: That is a really stupid question. What other kind of question were you expecting? You'd believe if you just opened your heart" is a terrible argument for religion. It's basically saying, "If you bias yourself enough, you can convince yourself that this is true." If religion were true, people wouldn't need faith to believe it -- it would be supported by good evidence. |
