2. I know! Weird, isn't it?
I hope this fundie fight will force Christians to learn about their Christmas celebratory antecedents: Yule and the Egyptians.

I think that's pretty evident over the blood-soaked course of their thousand-year reign over western dogma.

:evilgrin:

They tried to wipe out paganism. We're returning the favor by letting them battle over X-boxes and methods of celebrating Yule.

10. You mean baby Jesus wasn't born on December 25??
How can you possibly question biblical truth? You will certainly fry in hell. Stop persecuting Christians.

11. If Superman can fly and can't walk on water then we know he
ain't for real.

The crusaders had a field day centuries ago, when they were trying to convert the world.
