About 6 or 7 years ago, Mum spotted a lovely Harp ornament in the local Garden Center, but wasn't sure if she wanted it or not, so ultimately didn't buy it. She changed her mind the next day, but it'd been sold, and ever since she's hunted for a nice small harp ornament, but.. Alas.. It seems an impossible thing to find. I recently found a "DIY Kit" thing on Amazon, and it was only £3, so figured what the hey, and picked it up for her. It's turned out surprisingly nice!

 I was raised Christian, and technically still am. I'm just very liberal, but this is still Christmas for me. -=-=- Afr0 Games Project Dollhouse on Github - Please fork!

Yeah, the whole scientific debate about the nativity stories... it's interesting! But it's also very confusing. Some scholars seem to think that most, if not all, of the information about the birth was made up. Then there are others who accuse them of holding the stories to an impossible historical standard, and think it's impressive there is some information at all given he was a historically unimportant character born in a Roman backwater. Yet others seem to take for granted that the stories are mostly true, but keep debating the details: was there a star? If so, was it a comet, two or three planets alining or a supernova? Even Johannes Keppler tried figuring this one out!! Was there a census? Did it require everyone to travel to their ancestral homes? Was Quirinius (still) governor of Syria? Did the greek word for manger mean he was born in a stable or the nicest part of a house (some archeologists seem to think the latter)? Did Herod kill the babies? Historian Josephus makes no mention, but assuming Jesus was born in Bethlehem, there were about 1000 people there, so all told we're talking maybe 4 - 10 babies. Perhaps not important enough to mention in an age filled with violence and conflict. Even the things that are clearly a matter of Faith are being debated: Was Mary impregnated by the Holy Ghost, or by someone else? I'd personally say the former is about as likely as the latter, considering Joseph was convinced she hadn't been unfaithful. Did the shepherds see angels, or were they smoking opium (fields of Bethlehem are a prime location for growing)? I'd say the former, given that last time I checked, opium doesn't come with GPS navigation. Given the amount of unanswered/debated questions, I'd say the story mostly comes down to faith. I think I've pretty much chosen to believe that Jesus was Messiah regardless of whether he was born in Nazareth or Bethlehem. -=-=- Afr0 Games Project Dollhouse on Github - Please fork!
