VERSION|0.5.1|NAME|Matt2112|DATE|1387885440|CONTENT|All the TftDs around this time go from the premise the &quot;Nativity&quot; story is a matter of undisputed historical fact.  But not only do I not buy that premise, it has no relevance, import or siginificance for me regardless; I have no requirement for it and go about my personal business utterly unaffected by this inconsequential and incoherent fable.

A believer might suggest that I don&#039;t knock it until I&#039;ve tried it.  Well, as an apostate (ex-Catholic), I did for quite a number of years, and I can say categorically that I&#039;m far better off without intellectually, morally and, yes, [i]spiritually[/i] if you really must.

So all this pontificating from the likes of James Jones is simply moot and a complete waste of time.|IP-ADDRESS|92.22.180.172|MODERATIONFLAG|
