Default Well I thought, if I dont tell ya, I don't Love ya!

Christianity and the HIV virus both spread and both
do about as much good for the world.

heh I assume that you know that a celebration at Christmas time existed
long before Christ. The Christians hijacked a pagan festival. The same
thing happened with Easter.

And it worked. By incorporating local tradition and belief into the new religious belief, the new belief grew and devloped,
surrounding itself with the flavor of the other traditions. It is one of the reasons Christianity spread. Much better than the
"Divide and conquer" attitude.
