Now hear the good news!
 

Interesting. What was the name of this "firstborn son"?

Summary?

Another option would be for you to open a Happy Atheist day, and stop being an ass hole. Restraint.
It's tough, but you can do it.

It's tough, but you can do it. I don't think Rufus means to be a jerk, though. However, I really did want to this thread to be a celebratory thread; the real reason why Christmas is celebrated in the first place. http://www.discussworldissues.com/fo...ilies/wink.gif

liberal Biblical scholars are nearly unanimous in their agreement that this part of the New Testament is just a flat-out fabrication.

Good story, though.

Wasn't in DM or someone who said that her theology professor said that atheists make the best theologians?

Theologians are often very different in viewpoints/etc from the majority of beleivers (both those who study seriously and those who don't).

JM I think it would be hard to be a theologian and not have a different point-of-view from most believers, in the same way that most experts have different point-of-view from laymen on their subjects of expertise. But most theologians I've met, and most I read, are believers nevertheless.

It's tough, but you can do it. Why, so Christians can take over that day, too? http://www.discussworldissues.com/fo...lies/smile.gif

Well then don't make it a federal holiday, silly http://www.discussworldissues.com/fo...ies/tongue.gif. Have everyone take leave that day instead. Will you be happy then? http://www.discussworldissues.com/fo...ilies/cute.gif

Don't know what you're talking about. (1) I'm not an athiest, and (2) I'm just speading the Good News http://www.discussworldissues.com/fo...ilies/cute.gif about what Biblical scholarship -- most of it conducted by Christians -- says about Luke.

But, as an erstwhile Iowan, I would never want to be perceived as raining on Mr. Fun's parade. Party on, Mr. Fun!

http://www.discussworldissues.com/fo...danceparty.gif "raining on MrFun's parade" sounds vaguely suggestive.

Unless I'm mistakened, I believe Tiamat has said in the past that she is a Christian.

In light of her own thread, I decided to bump this for her. http://www.discussworldissues.com/fo...lies/smile.gif
