    And for what purpose would a single man named Jesus be elevated in such a way?
    Is the belief by those who witnessed this great man name Jesus not the fuel that caused the movement?
    The Son of God has left his mark, and here we are, over 2000 years from when he was born, and he still
    has significant impression on people's lives.

    More so than any other king, queen or leader ... that in itself is a miracle.

    There's a lot of sheep out there and religions to lead them down the path. Somebody said the Eiffel Tower was on sale this week again.

    I find it interesting how anyone born 2000 years from when this happened can be so confident, and deny so much ... prefer to believe that there was some big explosion and suddenly out of it came order ... try that with a stick of dynamite in your backyard.

    Often, I find most people's reluctance to believe in God and Jesus is because of something a man did ... someone who used religion as a means to seek power.
    In fact, the Bible I do not think asks us to have a religion with God, but a relationship with God ... so I'd say religion is the man-made thing that turns everyone off ... a good mechanism used
    by the Devil, to fool the sheep ... and that devil is a clever one ... he's fooled lots of sheep, by focusing them on the actions of humans.

    I was thinking Seinfeld. Festivus for the rest of us.

    Personally I have no care on what if any persons religion is.
    As long as you are a decent person. You can be Buddhist, Jewish, Christian etc. You can be Atheist, agnostic, Theist, deist what ever.
    Doesn't matter to me in this country we have the right to religious freedom which includes not being religious.

    I have Jewish friends married to Christians
    Christians married to Buddhists
    Atheist married to deists.

    I don't believe in putting anyone down because of their religion to each his own.

    A Merry Xmas to everyone

    The difference is that our society doesn't demand everyone participate in Ramadan, Hanukah, Diwali or the celebrations of other religions. Despite the rapid and long overdue decline in the influence of Christianity, much of western civilization continues to indulge in an annual orgy of rampant spending, gluttony and stupidity to celebrate the birth of baby Jebus.
