Keep your sticky fingers off our Yule. We (humans) were celebrating the Winter Solstice thousands of years before you traduced the teachings of Bar Yussuf. Might be the last one this time though. We can't find any virgins in the village this year, so the sun might never come back... Paul Burke |

Isn't it time we begin boycotting those merchants who in their TV advertising are exploiting the Christmas tradition yet not acknowledging that this is truly the Christmas season. The code word "holiday" season is coming into increasing use in an effort to minimize the influence the Truths that were taught by the Prince of Peace. And a Happy Winter Solstice to you! Or as we learned in high school Latin: Io Saturnalia! |

We can't find any virgins in the village this year, so the sun might never come back... We had a solar situation at work earlier this month. The building has a long (over 600 feet), straight corridor on the second floor with glassed-in stairways on either end. The corridor is aligned slightly south of east to slightly north of west. On December 3, the rising sun (about 6:40) shone right through the building from end to end. There was some talk of sacrificing a virgin tin the coffee-room midway down the corridor; however, there was doubt expressed that one could be found in the building. |

The code word "holiday" season is coming into increasing use in an effort to minimize the influence the Truths that were taught by the Prince of Peace. Christmas isn't even the birthday of Christ and was hijacked early Christians to compete with far older pagan holidays. (Saturnus) It's the Christians that have been substituting irrelevant religious concoctions for perfectly wonderful pagan holidays. According to even your own bible, the shepperds were tending their flock at the time of the birth of Christ. This is a SPRING event, not a winter event. Additionally, the bible clearly states that Herod was alive when Christ was born, and we know that Herod died in 4 B.C. Given the clues in the Bible, and our current archeological knowlege, Christ was born something in mid-April or May, between 6 and 4 B.C. Class is dismissed. |
