"And remember, these are for your birthday and xmas."
At the age of five, Skagra decided emphatically that God did not exist. This revelation tends to make most people in the universe who have it react in one of two ways - with relief or with despair. Only Skagra responded to it by thinking, 'Wait a second. That means there's a situation vacant.'

Heh, I have a cousin whose birthday is on the 25th. As kids, I always felt a little sorry for the poor bastard.

Yeah, Sam and I used to know someone like that, one of the people who brought us together in the first place.

So they say. But his sleight-of-hand really went to shit later in his career. He couldn't palm things worth a damn.

If they were cheap fucks, they would have stashed the gifts of the magi and parceled it out to the kid over the years, claiming credit for themselves.
"Oh, look Yeshua! Open your box and see what Mummy and Daddy got you this year. Myrrh! What a lucky boy! It will go great with the gold from last year. Oh, we love you, son! There's nothing too good for our boy!" The reason why the fairy tale has the wise men bringing gifts to baby Jesus is to provide an example of the Fourth Commandment found in Exodus 34:20 (TLB) =
"20 The firstborn colt of a donkey may be redeemed by giving a lamb in its place. If you decide not to redeem it, then its neck must be broken. But your sons must all be redeemed. And no one shall appear before me without a gift."
It shows that the wise men recognized baby Jesus as "God". That sets the stage for the rest of the story.

All of this and for what. What's the fucking point, I don't get it. Someone somewhere must've known it's all bullshit when they thought this stuff up.
