https://crooksandliars.com/2021/12/kilmeades-christmas-storyIt started out with him praising Mary and Joseph for finding the manger so that the animals could heat the baby Jesus with their breath:
"I know we had this conversation before, but were the animals used, were their breaths used to heat Jesus?" Kilmeade wondered. "Remember the animals would go around because it was so cold in Bethlehem. I get them confused. It was so cold at that time, the animals breathed on him to keep him warm."
It was Steve Doocy - of all people - who had to remind Kilmeade that the original Bible story was that they were in the manger because there was no room at the inn.
Kilmeade agreed and added that the inn was full because of people traveling for the holiday season.

Gotta wait until the year is completely over, because they've got 6 whole days to say stupider things.

(5,377 posts)The holiday to celebrate the birth of Jesus was in full swing before he was born?
Wow, news of his birth and future life achievements sure travelled fast!
Actually . . . Facebook tells me - or maybe it was Twitter - there was room at the Inn, but Joseph left his American Express card at home and couldn't pay. So him and the missus were sent to bed down with the animals.
But it was a busy time, some sort of census happening I hear.
Looking forward to more stupid distortions of the past. 6 days left, try harder!

(22,026 posts)A worldwide census would have certainly been recorded but theres no record of one during the time of Jesus supposed birth. So Jesus familys journey to Bethlehem doesnt make any sense.
There are so many flaws and contradictions in the Bible that its difficult to logically follow. Heres a stupid one: in the Gospels, theres no detail about the wise men from the East. Its not clear how many of them there were, (3 gifts are mentioned but it doesnt say that they were presented by 3 people), and they certainly arent named, (Melchior, Caspar and Balthazar are names made up centuries later but theyre not in the Bible). So much for inerrant accuracy.

(22,026 posts)Jesus birth would to have happened in what we now call December, more likely it was in March, (if at all).

(46,699 posts)That's why the Inn was full.
If the Republicans were in control, they would have interrupted travel to keep people from reaching their destination, in order to interfere with the census.
