If the life and death of Socrates were those of a sage the life and death of Jesus were those of a God.

You can seek out good fortune, authority (power), and even a righteous life-partner...and find them all. But when all of this is gone...which it will be eventually, I wish you Peace, which is only fou...
It is not as a child that I believe and confess Jesus Christ. My hosanna is born of a furnace of doubt.
Taking "Christ" out of "Christmas" just reads "Mas" which is Spanish for "More." Seems Americans just want "mas," "mas," "mas." But when is more ever enough without Christ in it? More Christ?
