"Of the House of David"[edit]

That Joseph was a descendant of David means that Mary was not? How is that "rational"?

((The above was moved, because I felt it "fits better" here. I have no idea what the original author may have meant. -- 11 June 2013))

It's possible I'm missing something, but I don't think the bible quote currently (11 June 2013) on the page supports the claim in the previous sentence (that "according to several Old Testament prophecies, the messiah is to be a direct, traceable, patrilineal descendent of King David"). Specifically, if God is Jesus's father, then claiming that Jesus has a traceable patrilineal line of descent to Kind David is absurd. -- 11 June 2013

Bull[edit]

This article contains bullshit from that movie "Zeitgeist". I will try to remove it. (Agrajag (talk) 15:29, 23 December 2014 (UTC))

Suggestion[edit]

Make use of the Russian Orthodox Christmas - double the fun/religion in more decorative surroundings - and as it takes place on 7 January things can be bought in the sales/restaurants do not overcharge so much. (And 'whatever Jesus Christ gets out of Christmas' he will get more out of the double celebration.) 82.44.143.26 (talk) 18:44, 14 December 2015 (UTC)

Brussels sprouts[edit]

If you want them ready for Christmas, start cooking them now.

They are actually quite nice if #properly# cooked, not stewed into slime. 82.44.143.26 (talk) 15:52, 27 June 2016 (UTC)

Little box in corner[edit]

I do not understand the function of the little box in the bottom right corner with the text: "For those of you in the mood, RationalWiki has a fun article about Christmas." That's pretty obvious if you are already reading the article! ☣🍆☣ (talk) 09:24, 31 December 2024 (UTC)

The little box is a link to Fun:Christmas, which is different from Christmas. You could have found that out just by clicking on the link.Spud (talk) 11:28, 31 December 2024 (UTC)
Ok, sorry. That makes sense. I now saw this in multiple articles myself. ☣🍆☣ (talk) 16:00, 31 December 2024 (UTC)
