Merry Christmas!!
December 25, 2021 at 9:36 am
When store associates say, "Happy Holidays" to me, I always reply, "Merry Christmas". Most seemed pleased by this.
In any case, Humanity has come a long way from the desert preaching, "David Koresh"-type prophet who foretold the fall of Roman control over Galilee to the gift-giving consumerism of our World that we are all forced to participate in, at least to some extent.
In any case, "Merry Christmas to you all!!"
And without delay Peter went quickly out of the synagogue (assembly) and went unto the house of Marcellus, where Simon lodged: and much people followed him...And Peter turned unto the people that followed him and said: Ye shall now see a great and marvellous wonder. And Peter seeing a great dog bound with a strong chain, went to him and loosed him, and when he was loosed the dog received a man's voice and said unto Peter: What dost thou bid me to do, thou servant of the unspeakable and living God? Peter said unto him: Go in and say unto Simon in the midst of his company: Peter saith unto thee, Come forth abroad, for thy sake am I come to Rome, thou wicked one and deceiver of simple souls. And immediately the dog ran and entered in, and rushed into the midst of them that were with Simon, and lifted up his forefeet and in a loud voice said: Thou Simon, Peter the servant of Christ who standeth at the door saith unto thee: Come forth abroad, for thy sake am I come to Rome, thou most wicked one and deceiver of simple souls. And when Simon heard it, and beheld the incredible sight, he lost the words wherewith he was deceiving them that stood by, and all of them were amazed. (The Acts of Peter, 9)

I don't have money for any gifts, last year I got my mom a bottle of wine, but this year I can't even do that. Oh well. I'm not made of money.

Merry Christmas!
If you get to thinking you’re a person of some influence, try ordering somebody else’s dog around.

Not included: the Modern Library edition of Don Quixote that Dad got, which will be replaced soon with the intended Penguin Clothbound Classics edition because, frankly, it looks like Rutherford’s translation is leagues above Putnam’s, even if Putnam does include a shitton of useful notes.
What? No Tom Clancy's books! Come on.
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"
