I say, it doesn't matter that he didn't tell his followers to worship him by using golden calves. He received heir worship of him personally.

I don't have to face anything. Your example is totally without merit. I makes no sense, it is not biblical, it is not even rational.

There is absolutely no parallel betweeen worshipping Jesus at his birth, which is a biblical story, and turning cows into gold and worshipping them. Find me a story of Jesus cavorting with golden cows, and you've got something.

Until then your point is pointless.

Find me a story of Jesus putting up a Christmas tree, kissing under the missile toe, telling people about Santa Claus and drinking eggnog and then you've got something.

I don't know why you just can't admit that people celebrate Christmas because it's a tradition.
