You silly geese wouldn't even be talking about Luke, John and the gang if Constantine and the First Council of Nicaea hadn't concluded that they were the 4 most compatible to be used to run an organized religion, as well as to discredit the Gnostic texts.

I understood perfectly the point of your thread; I could just not care less to discuss it, and quite honestly, found commenting on Pastor's post to be of much greater interest. Nativity scenes do not interest me, nor does your opinion of them, nor does your opinion of those who enjoy them and believe the canonized Gospels to be the entire Word. You claim I missed the point: I saw it clearly - you spent several paragraphs espousing a childish resentment against something you willfully intended and asked no question of the reader to respond to. I do have a question for you: What makes you think I would have any response for such a firmly held opinion? What is there to discuss? Am I just supposed to say, "I believe differently, you're wrong and I'm not."?
