re: #143 Dark_Falcon
… it is part of the bedrock tenants of Christianity, as codified at the Council of Nicea (in which the real-life St. Nicholas played an important role), that Jesus was the son of God, was born of the Virgin Mary, was crucified, died and was resurrected.
That is where I part ways with Christianity, then. Cannot make myself believe in fairy tales, no matter how much I wanna believe in redemption and eternal life.
