I thought the Virginia birth, stable, wise men and other bits were borrowed from older religions? Weaving other religions into a Judean cult was a way of attracting members. They kept adding them to a folder which eventually evolved into a book called bible.

See? Even sky fairy superstition itself is subject to evolution.

By the way, what in the name of everything that is fun has working at a homeless shelter to do with it? You sound like one of those idiots who claim they do charitable works because their religion demands it. The rest of us do whatever we do because it is a nice thing to do.

A serious question for Mr Offer. Does your religion require you to help others in need or do you ascribe your natural sense of altruism to it in order to extend your default goodness to it? Is it giving you a good name or are you lending yours to it?
