"They're so macho with their Santa Claus beards and funny hats"
Christians have all kind of traditions that I find extremely strange, including: vows of chastity, belief in a virgin birth, eating the flesh of their god and drinking his blood. How would you feel if I mocked those traditions?
And what do you consider macho? Getting drunk at the weekend or perhaps engaging in a little Jew-baiting?
Isaiah 7:14 is where Christians find the prophecy of a '...virgin shall conceive...' using your claim of 'extremely strange' dates further back than 2000 years. Further you have completely misrepresented the eating 'flesh', what was used to represent the 'body' was unleavened bread dating back to the time of Moses and the exodus. The blood, which is the life of the body was spilled and fermented 'grape' juice, from the vine also specifically foretold by one of those so called 'minor' prophets was used as symbolic representation.
Christianity got its foundation from Christ's own mouth by the holy prophets all the way back to Moses.
What I won't argue with you about is that treatment of women since Eve crosses all cultures.
Mock all you want. Christians aren't defensive about their faith--btw, the flesh and blood stuff is Catholic tradition and not Christian--because we have the truth on our side and aren't swayed by attacks from unbelievers. And we are to consider it a privilege to share in Christ's suffering when we are persecuted for our faith. If you would read the New Testament with an open heart, you would learn the truth.
Just wanted to drop you a line and I find your posts on this thread and in general to be an utter embarassment. It's a blight on this website that a loon like you hasn't been booted yet.
