Nah, the point is to give gifts and and buy stuff while doing whatever it takes to remove Christ from Christmas. That’s why it is called Xmas.

Nope. That is NOT a secular attempt at “removing the Christ from Christmas” . The use of Xmas dates back to the 16th Century. From Wikipedia: the “X” comes from the Greek letter Chi, which is the first letter of the Greek word (can’t copy/paste here for it to show up, but Google it) which in English is “Christ”. The “-mas” part is from the Latin-derived Old English word for Mass.

Even Jesus himself said, “A good name exceeds the value of fine perfume, and the day of someone’s death exceeds the value of the day of his birth.”
People weren’t saved on the day he was born, they were saved on the day that he died.

What about all the people he saved during his life time?

Yeah, that’s what Good Friday is celebrated for.

Jesus didn’t say that, it’s from Ecclesiastes 7:1 in the Old Testament.

I guess I didn’t make it clear, I was using Jesus colloquially with God and the Holy Spirit. (whom wrote the Bible through other people.)

I really hate it when I’m wearing jacket and I’m perfectly fine but then I walk into another room and suddenly I’m sweating.

Offline I was watching one of those non-Apple produced Beatles docs on the telly today (The Beatles: Here, There And Everywhere 1963-1970), it was quite good for what it was every year was represented by clips of the band doing interviews and whatnot, there was no voiceover or interviews just non-stop footage, 99% of which I’d previously seen although I did get to see extended clips of The Fabs with Ken Dodd interviewed by Ireland’s own Gay Byrne, which I had never seen before so that was sweet.
Anyways what irrked me the most is when you watch non-stop clips back to front of the lads and you notice that Paul in particular, John and Ringo say “you know” in like every 2nd sentence, you know. It seems that it got the worse once they started getting into heavy drug use around ’67, ’68 their brains just turned to mush.
Like, it’s really irritating, you know. It’s like the people who say “So…” at the start of every sentence, it’s quite annoying.
Ah I just found this fun video counting up how many times Paul says ‘you know’ in a 6 minute interview. Spoiler: 48 times.

All scripture is God breathed but generally the words of Christ are given more weight due to it being said to be from Jesus. That’s my experience anyway.

Offline Right, a weird one: I dislike using the loo immediately after someone else has just used it and left the seat still warm. You’d think it’d be a nice contrast to the ice-shock porcelain of wintertime bathrooms, but no, somehow I just find it icky. It’s like they’ve left traces of their presence, even if the room and the toilet is otherwise spotless. 
Moving along then…

Offline “Fiscal year” doesn’t cover the same time period as “Academic year” and neither of them go along with “calendar year”. Stupid. Who came up with this zany system anyway? I want to time travel and thump them on the head.
