December 25 was the birthday of Mithras, who was also born of a virgin, in a cave, died for mankind and ascended into heaven about two centuries before Christ.

Shhh. Don't let facts get in the way of a good fantasy. Amazing how many of the people who believe this bilge make fun of Harry Potter books as works of fiction.

For my part, I'll be celebrating the birth of Brian on December 25th.

All three wise men: We worship you, oh Brian, who are lord over us all. Praise unto you, Brian, and to the Lord, our father. Amen.

Mother: Do you do a lot of this, then?

Gaspar: What?

Mother: This praising.

Gaspar: No, no...no, no.

Mother: Oh, well, ehm, if you're dropping by again, do pop in, huh. And thanks a lot for the gold and frankincense, ahm, but don't worry too much about the myrrh the next time, all right? Huh. Thank you! Goodbye!

What's wrong with making fun of Pottery?

Is it any sensible way to establish a moral code, just because some bright-eyed attention-seeker bumbles around doing good deeds, all on the pages of a Book?
