17. "A thousand points of light"
'"they" worship God.'????????????????????

Do you know any Jewish people? If you did, you might consider that the song Silent Night, in a school holiday production, would most definitely be a song in direct contradiction to their Jewish faith.

As a Jewish friend told me, "We believe in Jesus. We just don't believe he was the Messiah."

So, you see, the child taught at temple and at table that the Messiah is yet to come might have a little trouble wrapping her mind around Christ as the Messiah. Additionally, that child might be harrassed or intimidated by students who wholly believe the premise of "Silent Night" if she feels uncomfortable singing along. That would be a compromise to the child's faith, and..... persecution. So who is the bigot?

I think this is hilarious. Pseudo-Christians don't have much of a faith if it can be shattered so freakin' easily, that's all this is sayin.'
