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.

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?

Don't know what you're talking about. (1) I'm not an athiest, and (2) I'm just speading the Good News 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!

"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.
