In many ways I feel sorry for those whose faith doesnt include Jesus. It must feel pretty hopeless walking around looking for an idea or a premise to base on'es existence on.
They also see God as a punitive God and that you must earn your way into heaven. The message of Christ is that there is no way you can ever do anything to deserve the mercy and grace He offers. It is a gift, something which we humans, in all our rush to conquer have difficulty imagining.

so this is Christmas


not trying to fuss, just a difference of opinion.

Dear zaac,

"Absolutely nothing"? Allow me to choke on my egg-nog. Perhaps we shall debate that point elsewhere, in a more appropriate room.

And, on that note, I relent, and concede your point.

Joyous Christyule (Fremen for "Merry Christmas"), friend,
