   The twelve days of Xmas actually start on Xmas day, but this is a   
   countdown to Xmas showing why Xmas is as senseless as it is stupid as a   
   Christian death-cult ritual.   
      
   Why there?  In all the world, this message could have been got out, but   
   it was (if we believe in fairy tales) told in a backwater of the world at   
   that time.  Why wasn't it done in Rome - which was the center of the   
   world at that point in history?   
      
   Here's why: according to Biblical fiction, Jesus said he had come *only*   
   to the children of the House of Israel.  In other words, gentiles need   
   not apply.  This was a Jewish rabbi, preaching Judaism, to Jews.   
      
   It was never intended for anyone else according to the Bible, until, of   
   course, Saul of Tarsus derailed the whole plan as he wrenched the reins   
   of the Christian death cult from the hands of the person to whom (fairy   
   tale has it) Jesus himself gave them!  Way to harsh the Messiah's world,   
   Paul!
