Can you get ‘pickled’ on Diet Coke’s (havta be a serious amount I would think?)
Maybe drinkin’ through a straw for a long period of time and not breathin’?
Don’t wish to sound boring but No Drugs, No Booze, No Problems.
I get my ‘Rockin’ ! the Range , I know, I know Don’s Life ZZZZZZZZZZZZZ
(Just the way I like it)
When I am in public and people say to me “Happy Holidays”, I reply, “Merry Christmas!”, and when people say, “Merry Christmas” to me, I reply, “Happy Birthday Jesus!”. Loud, very loud. That’s me, turning the volume up on truth.
Shepherds with flocks of sheep could not enter crop fields during the spring or summer, lest the sheep eat the crops, and the winter was too cold for sleeping outside overnight. The time of the year when shepherds and their sheep could enter and stay in these crop fields was the fall after the harvest when farmers invited the shepherds into their fields with their flocks so that the sheep can “clean” their fields by eating the straw. This means Jesus was born in the fall, not in December.
After the Roman Empire officially switched from paganism to Roman Catholicism in the 4th century AD, it re-branded a pagan holiday in late December as Jesus’ birthday so that a big feast could continue to be held around the winter solstice, which is the shortest and the darkest day of the year.
Well General Consensus … came from a video game a long time ago since they would not let me have Gen-Itals everyone on the team had to have Gen in their name … I thought this title was apropos in so many ways concerning me … Historically, the claim of consensus has been the first refuge of scoundrels; it is a way to avoid debate by claiming that the matter is already settled.
Oh and yes I do not believe… The fault of this i blame solely on my parents they were educated …
This being said. I totally support your right to believe in anything you want …
Nice most don’t even know it was the romans that helped compile the bible. Now they believe it started before them . It was constructed over many centuries . Still today the faith is ever changing … To meet the needs of civilization …
We have LATE Christmas Eve dinner after 11pm. It’s always my son who brings to our attention when the clock strikes midnight. Then, we open gifts.
When kids moved out, I thought the tradition would stop. But, they insist we continue.
My daughter asks every year, “dad, what do you want for Christmas?”
She never gets a serious answer from me. “I want a hippopotamus,” etc., During the plandemic Christmas—when amazon thrived, I told her I have everything I need. If I didn’t have it, I could always buy from Bezos.
My kids still surprise me with simple yet practical stuff I didn’t think I needed.
I told my two kids a couple years ago when my first grandchild was born to redirect their gift-giving to him. But, there are still a few boxes for me under the tree.
Yes Constantine bought it out of the darkness … He believed he possessed the spear that stabbed jesus on the cross. Spear of Destiny or Holy Lance and could not be defeated in battle …
What i mean was in recent years … Since It has been on the decline with attendance … They now let women preach… Also let the Gays in … or whatever word that makes you comfortable . To bolster attendance … Adapt to the times for survival… That darwin might be onto something … Maybe the ones that adapt do survive … The Roman gods didn’t . Well other then in comic books …
