God Rest Ye Unitarians

Diane [no longer around] said Dec 4, 2006, 12:28 PM:
 

(cross posted to my blog)

God rest ye, Unitarians, let nothing you dismay;
Remember there’s no evidence
There was a Christmas Day;
When Christ was born is just not known,
No matter what they say,

O, Tidings of reason and fact, reason and fact,
Glad tidings of reason and fact.

Our current Christmas customs come
From Persia and from Greece,
From Solstice celebrations of the ancient Middle East.
This whole darn Christmas spiel is just
Another Pagan feast,

O, Tidings of reason and fact, reason and fact,
Glad tidings of reason and fact.

There was no star of Bethlehem,
There was no angels’ song;
There couldn’t have been wise men
For the trip would take too long.
The stories in the Bible are historically wrong,

O, Tidings of reason and fact, reason and fact,
Glad tidings of reason and fact.

Heh heh, I love that!  I emailed a link to the pastor of my fellowship.

Namaste,
