Sorry, discostu, but your answer doesn’t fly. I clearly was referring to Hannukah and that Hannukah doesn’t account for things like Santa, mangers, and wise men.

Those are all out of the Christian tradition.

Are you now telling me that you don’t think St Nicholas, mangers, and wise men are from the Christian tradition?

That’s just bizarre. The manger and wise men are mentioned in the gospels. And St Nicholas and his story are from the Nicene era and then forward. Nicholas was AT the Council of Nicaea in the early 300’s AD. He even got in trouble with Constantine at the time for a smack-down on an anti-trinitarian.

When you said the traditions were FOUNDED in Christianity that a sentence with meaning, and it’s meaning is way beyond Hanukkah. Had you just been referring to Hanukkah you would have said those traditions didn’t come from Judaism. Instead you said they were FOUNDED in Christianity, which rules out ALL other origins. Which you yourself have admitted wasn’t true.

You’ve descended to weaseling about what you said and outright lying about what I said. We’re done. You were wrong, you know you were wrong, man up and admit it, or just go away. Don’t care, I don’t truck with liars, bye.
