Mr. Tucker, after I sent the other e-mail, John 7:43 came to my mind "So there was a division among the people because of him". With the context in this chapter in The Gospel of John, this verse is verse is right up to date with all of the division in the world because of "Him." If you think on this, I would love to see an article you publish on this.

p>Thanks again, and merry Christmas br> -- Bro. Bob Howard /p>

I just read "A Christmas Greeting" by William Tucker and to summarize it Mr. Tucker should have said instead of his long diatribe: We hate intellectuals because they are too smart for their own good and we hate Moslems and Islam because we are offshoots of Judaism and by the way, those Moslems don't know how to forgive, as if the Jewish do. To wit, he brings an example, look at the Shiia and Sunnis, for more than a millennium and a half they haven't forgiven the killing of Hassan and Hussein, etc....

Dear Christian Mr. William Tucker, for your own knowledge, to be forgiven, one has to ask for forgiveness. Just recite Lord's prayer, listen to your own words and understand them. And if your house is made of glass, do not throw stones at your brother's house.

It would have been heart warming to me, if Mr. Tucker, who professes to be Christian, to have asked forgiveness from those whose religion he is eager to trash, from the thousands upon thousands of whom we "shocked and awed" to their death, and which we proudly applauded at one point in hour recent history. It would have been really Christian-like to have yelled as loud as his chest could bear the pain, screaming "Mia Culpa, Mia Culpa." To the Iraqis, for "screwing up your country and your lives and mass assassinating you with what our know-how developed in "Shock and Awe" technology." And he should have called onto his president and country to ask forgiveness of the families of the brave soldiers who were pushed to their deaths with the BIGGEST LIE to our nation in its recent history.

Christ gave up on the "offshoot of Judaism" notion by appearing to Paul after his resurrection to propel him to lay down the foundation of Christianity. It is thanks to Paul that today, we believe Christ is Lord, who, by the way, said that one does not need to be circumcised to be a Christian. One could throw away the Ten Commandments if one is willing to Love, unconditionally, as Christ so told us. Reading Mr. Tucker's article, however, it is clear to me that he has not arrived at the bridge to cross over to the other side of that divide.

p>So Mr. Tucker, if you are unable to ask forgiveness and you want to deliver a Christmas greeting, a "Merry Christmas" will suffice, or simply stay silent. That would be much preferred. br> -- Ara Demirjian /p>
