You might want to check this verse. Seems that Jesus himself said that he was the true vine. It's interesting what you learn when you study the Bible, instead of just listening to preachers or just claiming to be a Christian based on nothing but a few verses:
"JOHN 15
1 I am the true VINE, and my Father is the husbandman.
"
JOHN 15
1 I am the true VINE, and my Father is the husbandman."
I believe that. My faith in Jesus is based on much more than a "few statements."
BTW what does this have to do with the main point of this thread, Santa Claus and public school?
