I've been relatively nostr-silent for a few days and mainly reposting. Why? Christmas! Merry to all.

Diatribe follows:

It's ok to celebrate the birth of Christ on the wrong day, get over it. We aren't supposed to meet for church on Sunday either, it can be any day, and not in a special building set aside for it. The purpose is to keep a brotherhood alive, not fulfill an obligatory attendance. The Sabbath is Saturn-day, not Sun-day. The only tradition we should to keep as Christians is communion, and only as a rememberance. The Law of God is for our own good, not as retribution, but to bless is and to keep us holy.

> Then one of them, which was a lawyer, asked him a question, tempting him, and saying, Master, which is the great commandment in the law?

> Jesus said unto him, Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind. This is the first and great commandment. And the second is like unto it, Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself. On these two commandments hang all the law and the prophets. (Matthew 22:35-40, KJV)
