   Controversy over the date of the birth of Christ has been going on for as   
   long as I can remember but it means absolutely nothing to me because it's   
   not so important an issue as to *when* He was born, as it is rather THAT HE   
   WAS BORN!

   I don't remember seeing one either, but there still must have been one.   
   Not listing a date further indicates that it's not when, but rather That He   
   was born!

   I've never been a church person precisely because of such petty CRAP!   
   POLITICS have NO PLACE in God's Kingdom!!!
