    The world doesn't revolve around Christianity. We won't be changing the calendar for them.

    He wasn't born on 25th December either.

    No he was just a white guy that came from the middle east.

    As the article mentions Herod is thought to have died a year or two before AD. Also if the gospels are read as historically accurate then if shepherds were tending their sheep it was probably around September. Nobody knows, the article is well written but none of this stuff is contentious.
    And yes, Santy was born on the 25th Dec, with a fully grown beard too.

    Ironic beard, refusal to follow the mainstream, ranting about commercialisation, vague liberal statements, and now, being born before it was cool.

    Benny's cacking it about the Mayans. He reckons if he says it enough, it will become true, what with him being infallible and all that. Benny, grow a pair. What's that? Oh, sorry, right, ah sure he can swing them round his jocks if he has no other use for them.

    I know what this is really all about, he's just feeling old now. I mean he'll soon be 2013:eek:
    You see it with people all the time getting worried about turning 30, 40, 50...whatever.
    You just have to remember age is a number.

    But I think this is also where the saying "Jesus you're old" comes from.





    Christians in particular are taught in the bible not to be superstitious, yet the amount of practicing Christians that are is odd. They seem more prone to superstitions than a non religious person imo. Touch Wood....sexy :oideka

    Shouldn't this be on the Half-a-Beast forum (#333) ? :p

    You are the type of what the age is searching for, and what it is afraid it has found. I am so glad that you have never done anything, never carved a statue, or painted a picture, or produced anything outside of yourself! Life has been your art. You have set yourself to music. Your days are your sonnets.
