Re: Christmas

As far as I am concerned if we are to believe that Jesus existed then you would have thought we could be provided with a precise date

I mean if this chap is apparently the son of god then surely there should be details of his birth somewhere

But all we get is wishy washy stuff about someone who was supposed to be a really important person , maybe the second most important person ever ?

And why is he white with blue eyes in the pictures ?

Because the area he appeared in was an area of people with middle Eastern characteristics

So either the portrait fellas got it wrong or he was a dark skinned bloke or he didn't exist 🤷

We can narrow it down to when halleys comet was low in the night sky

Re: Christmas

Unsubstantiated stories from the Bronze Age at a time when most people were illiterate.

Ever heard of the sea peoples and the bronze age collapse. Jesus was very much n the iron age some 1300 years later.

Indeed. Although there weren't many trains at that time...

Re: Christmas

Just give everyone a weeks holiday

Normal TV channels

A button to switch if you are religious and want all the silly nonsense

Get rid of all the daft decorations in the shops

Give the money you spend to the NHS or the homeless

Call it the mid winter festival

You can do all of that yourself.

Re: Christmas

Jesus was indeed of the Iron Age.

Jesus is from all ages, if you believe the fairy stories

Nah mate. I just respect people who have faith and who use it for comfort, strength, etc. Moderate people with good intentions. I don't like the hard liners, evangelists and the crew at the top of the pile who use religion as a way of advancing their power and wealth at the expense of others. to me there is a difference, a massive difference. See it like this. You hated Blair and you dislike Starmer. I very much doubt that you hate every member of the labour party.

I've no problem with people who don't believe in god, i don't myself, and i have no problem with a good solid debate either way. The problem is that neither side listens to each other and there's always a definitive line trotted out over a subject that is incredibly complex and cultural. Attack the fanatics and the hard liners, by all means.
