Entertaining, clever, and poignant. And makes a good point, to boot. Classic C.S. Lewis.

“But (as for) what Hecataeus says, that Exmas and Crissmas are the same, (this) is not credible. It is not likely that men, even being barbarians, should suffer so many and so great things (as those involved in the Exmas Rush), in honor of a god they do not believe in.”

This is very witty - typical Lewis. What a writer.

Traditional Anglican ping, continued in memory of its founder Arlin Adams.

FReepmail sionnsar if you want on or off this moderately high-volume ping list (typically 3-9 pings/day).
This list is pinged by sionnsar, Huber and newheart.

Speak the truth in love. Eph 4:15

Christianity (catholic or otherwise) is meaningless until it is practiced.

"Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, with all thy soul, with all thy strength and with all thy mind - AND THY NEIGHBOR AS THYSELF." (emphasis, mine) the words of Jesus Christ our Lord - God incarnate, Saviour of the world.

I read that years ago and was thinking about it just today.

Thanks for posting.

I can't remember the name of the book it was in; seems like it was a collection of letters.
