Basically, humans have always reacted to solstices, eventually celebrating them. The Christians glommed on to the pre-existing celebrations and set their Christmas then. Over time as Christianity took over (thanks, Constantine), the celebrations just became known as Christmas (although those stubborn Jews wouldn't give in, but then they <A HREF="http://video.google.com/videosearch?client=safari&rls=en&q=coulter+jews+perfected&ie=UTF-8&oe=UTF-8&um=1&sa=X&oi=video_result_group&resnum=4&ct=title#" REL="nofollow">stubbornly won't get perfected either</A>).

A deity is nothing without an institution to back it up.<BR/><BR/>As for the Salvos, they combine a strange mix of progressive and conservative thinking. On the one hand, their practices were several generations ahead of mainstream churches on the issues of female ordination and Christian involvement in social justice issues. On the other hand, their official theology is pretty straightforward conservative evangelicalism 101. The official positions uphold such doctrines such as the divine inspiration and authority of the Bible, Original Sin (regardless whether one reads Genesis literally), the literal virgin birth of Jesus, the physical death and resurrection of Jesus, the dual divine-human nature of Jesus, and the notions that heaven and hell are real places, among other beliefs.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2699987188234610612.post-58023102578906751542008-12-14T15:37:00.000-06:002008-12-14T15:37:00.000-06:00No, google is god chappy ;)Another great show and ...No, google is god chappy ;)<BR/><BR/>Another great show and very informative on the Salvo's.
