Hi! I'm a tech guy, skeptic, feminist, gamer and atheist, and love OSS and science of all stripes. I enjoy a good bit of whargarbl now and again, and will occasionally even seek it out. I am also apparently responsible for the death of common sense on the internet. My bad.
I have opinions. So do you. You want to share them with me. I would like to do likewise. Please don't expect a platform for proselytizing that will go unchecked and unchallenged, though. Contact me via the clicky thingies under my banner.
The commenting rules are simple: don't piss me off. This rule has worked for me for a decade; I have never found a need for any other rule, because any other rules leads to rules-lawyering. Just remember --
this is my property, not yours.
Interesting. Something can become a ‘tradition’ in less than 20 years.
The nativity story is well known to be an invention of Luke and Matthew. They saw a need to make a link between Jesus and David because of previous prophesies about the coming Messiah. Nearly all theologians who work at universities, religious or not, already know this story has nearly no chance of being historically “true.”
