God was not born, his son Jesus was.

Who are you quoting?
Raw: Tony Gonzalez (low #'d cards, and especially 1/1's) and Steve Young.
p.s.
Jesus was born in March, the whole Christmas thing was to incorporate the winter solstice, and Saturnalia to make it more palatable. The gift giving, feasting and celebrations are intermingled from many cultures.
you should also check into the whole Easter thing, bunnies, eggs, really? another tradtion stolen and incorporated to co mingle beliefs and convert folks.
I'm sure this will end well.
My thoughts exactly...
P.S. Happy Holidays, Happy Hanukah and Merry Christmas to all!!

Considering the absence of evidence indicating that Jesus even existed-- as a historical figure, much less as some kind of cosmic saviour-- we can't even say that much. That having been said, this is a great time of the year to recount the year's foibles and successes, and to prepare for another year.
Merry Christmas to everyone!

What are you talking about? There is tons of evidence that he existed and almost every notable historian out there would tell you that he did. So I'm not sure where the "absence of evidence" claim comes from.

The 'absence of evidence' comes from the fact that there is not a single written account of Jesus from anybody who would have been one of his contemporaries. In other words, we have no eyewitness accounts of a man named Jesus. All 'records' of the life of Jesus were written after his death.
This is not insignificant. We know from Mark that Jesus supposedly spoke to great multitudes, and that he had (again, according to Gospel) achieved no small measure of fame and notoriety in his lifetime. And yet there is no mention of Jesus in any of the historical texts from the time. We see no mention of Jesus in the works of Philo, or Josephus, or Pliny, or (perhaps most telling) in the works of Seneca the Younger. To put it simply, Jesus is completely absent from the historical record. This forum obviously isn't the place for this discussion, but you can PM me if you either a) have evidence which contradicts the above assertions, or b) would like to read more about the absence of this historical account.
Moving on, I would like to wish everyone (even Sidepocket) a great Christmas season, and health and happiness in 2010.

If his image in a piece of toast wasn't enough for you, then I don't know how to convince you. If someone had just had the toast graded by GAI, then VCP would have had a saved image of it.
It's actually quite funny, in a very pathetic kinda way.

<< <i>Only on a message board can a simple "Merry Christmas" turn into an argument. >>
I was simply saying that Christmas was about the birth of Jesus Christ not God. Then the train jumped the track.

Hear, hear! Whatever one's feelings may be on the war(s), I'm sure we can all come to a consensus on a wish for a safe return for our troops overseas, and extend to them our warmest wishes for a pleasant (and uneventful) holiday season. I can't imagine what it must feel like to be a mother or a father, and to spend the holidays in a war zone. These people deserve our respect and admiration.
Kiss me twice.....let's party.

Very funny pic. love it.
When you get a moment, tell us how you fared in the feats of strength.
<< <i>There's nothing wrong with critical analysis. But without faith in something, we become robots. >>
That's one approach. Another is to say that if we lose our sense of skepticism, or our intellectual curiosity, or our delight in confronting new solutions and responses to conventional problems and beliefs, then we become robots. There are likely many ways we can lose our humanity- placing reason above faith does not (at least to me) seem like one of these greater dangers.
