We Know More About Jesus's Birth Than Obama's

A few years back, the Harvard-educated Paul Mirecki, then head of the Religious Studies Department at Kansas University, proposed a new class.

His goal, as he told his cohorts in an atheist and agnostic chat room, was to give "fundies" -- i.e., orthodox Christians -- "a nice slap in their big fat face by teaching [intelligent design] as a religious studies class under the category 'mythology.'"

Mirecki did not expect any pushback from KU. "The majority of my colleagues here in the dept [sic] are agnostics or atheists, or they just don't care," wrote Mirecki. "If any of them are theists, it hasn't been obvious to me in the 15 years I've been here."

Unwittingly, Mirecki opened a window on the world of religious scholarship. At least since Darwin, cynics like Mirecki have been working to subvert Christianity under the guise of religious studies. The notorious, 150-scholar strong "Jesus Seminar" would seem to have no higher calling.

As the record will show, however, the subversives have not succeeded. The story of Jesus's birth, as well as his death, remains as rooted in the historical record as it was before these researchers began their unholy labors.

We know where Jesus was born, to whom, and more or less when. Were Jesus politically minded, it would not have been hard to establish his status as a citizen of Roman Judaea or to confirm it 2,000 years after his birth. (To be sure, the "natural born" part might prove a little tricky.)

No such luck with our president, Barack Obama. The most visible man in the world's most transparent society remains as much an enigma as he was four years ago.

Yup....the devil is in the details.

According to the NYT, only one of them began as an immaculate conception.

Obummer is the Implausible Deception

There is more proof of Jesus than there is of Socrates, or a bunch of other famous people.

Everybody knows Obama is not a natural born citizen. His father's British nationality establishes that beyond a shadow of a doubt, and Congress itself confirmed the requirement of both parents being citizens plus a US birth during the 2008 campaign when it addressed these issues in legitimizing the status of John McCain.

In addition, the utter lack of information about the rest of his life, and the millions in attorneys fees to keep it under wraps, points to the existence of many more delegitimizing issues.

But the smug game those in power are playing is the famous Drunken Totalitarian Group Masturbation Game, called "If We Don't Acknowledge It, It Doesn't Exist."

Funny thing, law. Some say it's whatever those in power say it is. Other say it's actually got Divine roots - and that if they are violated, Higher Powers are automatically invoked to make things right. Civilization used to consist of the study of such Divine Law. Now it burns its libraries to warm the asses of laughing revelers howling over their thefts and lies.

Oh, that reminds me - did I mention we have a Christmas Comet? It's called Lovejoy.

When atheists devote their time and energy to debunking the “science” of Mohammed’s flying pony, I’ll start taking them at their word that they are against more religious beliefs than strictly Christianity.

Even Chrissy Hitchens procalimed that Christianity was more dangerous to mankind than Islam.

Jesus is the Savior.

Jesus is honest and Obama is a stinking liar.

Obummer was born mangy.

Jeus was born under a bright Star.
Obummer was born under a cloud of suspicion.

Jesus was visited by Three Wise Men.
Obummer was indoctrinated by 3 Communists.

Jesus was surrounded by donkeys, cows and sheep in the manger.
Obummer is surrounded by asses.

Jesus went missing from the caravan
Obummer`s whole past is missing.

Jesus was found teaching in the Temple.
Obummer would like to teach in a mosque.

Jack Cashill's great! I used to love hearing him on the radio in Kansas City (unfortunately they often paired him with a hard-core leftist).

He's the guy who analyzed Obama's biography and noticed that the writing style was remarkably similar to that of Bill Ayres.

Never happen. We're not free to criticize or question islam (lowercase intentional) , but among the elites it's open season on Christians.
