It is my wish that everyone has a blessed Christmas and focuses on the reason for the season.
I got an early Christmas present at the American Thinker, American Thinker , in it, Selwyn Duke, challenges the notion that Jesus was made up from the Indo-Iranian god Mithras and the Roman god Sol. And people often seem to confuse these two deities and their festivals, mixing and matching them in a game of musical myths. But it doesn't really matter because both Mithras' and Sol's mythical births, we're told, occurred on the same day: December 25th. The substitute priest at our parish even brought this up during his sermon (Lord, please heal our pastor, Fr. Lee!)
Also, the Christmasphobes make a fairly common mistake: They take "pagan" as synonymous with "evil." If you're trying to make Christianity look bad, equating it with paganism while implying the paganism is evil just makes paganism look bad.
This is a good article well worth the time reading.
Also, The Catholic Caveman had an awesome post about the fact that "God isn't sending His blessings to everyone. Only to "men of goodwill". And as common sense tells us, "men of goodwill" are those who have found favor with God. NOT everyone." it's worth checking out!
Again, Merry Christmas to all...
SPECIAL Christmas HAT, er, HELMET TIP to the The Catholic Caveman !
