71. It depends where we are when they mention him ...

... if they mention him in a manner in which they want me to agree his was a deity, they should expect that I might question that.

Having said that ... I say nothing when we visit my RW relatives. They talk about Jesus a great deal. And if I wanted, I could ask some pretty difficult questions. But I do not.

You are the one who thinks people should talk mainly about your preferred God on certain days around Christmas.

I find that hilarious. Even if we believe Jesus lived, theologians also believe that his birthday was not Dec 24th / 25th, but probably sometime in June or July.
