I've only read three or four of your posts, Ken, but they've
stirred up some sixty-year old memories that have always been a little unsettling for me. The first involved a bright kid in our squadron who had no capacity for equilibrium in his life and it was a torment for him. He solved his problem one night by going outside our quarters into a little guard shack and, .. Putting a .38 in his mouth took the top of his head off. Guys were dropping like flies, but for some reason that one seemed even more senseless and bothered me for a number of years. He came from a good family, (his father was a dermatologist) and he had a lot of potential. Unless you're getting a lot of enjoyment from your views, I'd recommend you try to bend just a little. Seeing both sides of an issue is the sign of a mature mind. |

The Bible doesn't say when Christ was born, and while it is true that the winter solstice was chosen, it is NOT the reason MOST people celebrate the season. We celebrate His birthday, whether you like it or not. He is the reason for the season. Most Biblical scholars say it couldn't have been anywhere near the winter (N of the equator) solstice. They figure probably spring some time. If the Passover weren't so well dated and the New Testament didn't indicate that the death and resurrection were together with it, I'd think that Christmas and Easter should be the other way around. What more appropriate (especially in English or related language) than the return of the Sun and the Son? What more appropriate for spring than the birth? Most CHRISTIANS celebrate Christ's birthday. Almost all other religions, old and new, that are much written about and in the northern temperate zones have or had some sort of special observance at that time of year. The Solstices were unequalled in all non-urban (every race / creed at one time) groups in their power to affect people. Even urbanites are capable of noticing that it nights get longer and the fresh fruits and veggies either aren't around or aren't local. Traditions of some kind that long predated Christianity in our rather Euro-Centric world were practiced. Many of them similar to the ones which have grown to cluster now around Christmas. Now spending large amounts of money has been added. It's okay. BTW, I advise skipping the book, "Skipping Christmas". It was assigned for our book club this month (a non-meeting month) and I faithfully read almost half of it. John Grisham is generally a good writer, but that was all I could handle. So I skimmed the last half. It made me think of an attempt at something literary based on the Griswold Family Christmas movie. It sucks. I'd sooner re-read all the gun threads I've ever seen on rec.backcounty and here than ever read it again. The characters were less loveable than ROFF on a bad day. The premise was mildly interesting, but only mildly. The plot got pretty badly stretched in some spots so "humor" could be forced in. The very few episodes with real sentiment were overshadowed by the, still few, episodes of deliberate schmaltz. If you want to read something that will inspire you to contribute to a food bank or homeless housing, try his book, "The Street Lawyer", which will tell you why you might want to give a little more. Except for the dramatic opening, it seems to be a realistic clue on what happens to the fringes who can't make it into our idea of normal society. Cyli r.bc: vixen. Minnow goddess.
