Trying to remind people what happened so it doesn't repeat. Probably still will.
Tomorrow is Christmas, the Christian holiday to celebrate the birthday of their messiah. They celebrate by giving gifts, decorating trees, feasts, and prayer. If you celebrate, Happy Christmas.

Last night was also the last night of Hanukkah this year. Hope to everyone who celebrated this year it was festive. Prayers to those struggling in your homeland.

Happy Guru Gobind Singh Jayanti! This holiday, celebrating the birthday of the last Sikh in Sikhism varies on the day based on what part of India and which calendar they use. You can celebrate with prayer at special gurdwaras, but more important are free meals to symbolize equality for all.

Merry Yule!
If you're pagan or just want to celebrate, I wish you all the light with your candles, wreaths, tree decorations, holly, mistletoe, gift exchanges, and yule log (the only thing the Christians didn't take).

13th Day of Christmas
"Nothing is concealed that will not be revealed."
"Whoever causes these little ones to sin, it would be better for him to drown."
"Open your mouth for the mute, defend the rights of the needy."
Jesus on the Christian priests raping children and the church that protected them.

"Nothing is concealed that will not be revealed."
"Whoever causes these little ones to sin, it would be better for him to drown."
"Open your mouth for the mute, defend the rights of the needy."
Jesus on the Epstein Files and the government protecting wealthy child predators.

11th Day of Christmas
Jesus said live by the sword die by it, commands to buy them, and 2 is enough per 11 people. A sword is different than a gun that can fire 10-12 bullets/sec from distance. Not even a bow would be a biblical equivalent. He doesn't have a teaching for it. We need to make our own.

10th Day of Christmas
Jesus preached 3 kinds of eunuch (born forced chosen) and how they'll be rewarded in heaven. Since no one is born a eunuch, but there are some born with gender variation and intersexed, and the roles in society, theologians believe he accepted the equivalent of trans people.

9th Day of Christmas
"Make disciples of all the great nations."
The Great Commission is Jesus' last order to the disciples. That's why Christians cry they're being discriminated against when people try to separate church and state, cause secular governments are literally anathema to their religion.

8th day of Christmas
Ask a Christian how many books are in the Bible.
Protestant: 66
Catholic: 73
East Orthodox: 76
Ethiopian Orthodox Tewahedo: 81

How many versions that all change apocrypha, style, and language translation? Over 450.

7th day of Christmas
Some say Jesus promoted violence against evil to justify their own violent actions. Jesus was violent 3 times. Applicable if you're a desecrator, a demon, or a tree. The "not bring peace but a sword" continues on about families splitting over him, not giving permission to harm.

6th day of Christmas
Jesus distinguished between a rabbi/teacher/himself holding public sermons vs. a lay person professing to the public.
"Do not be like the hypocrites standing on street corners to be seen. When you pray, go to your room and close the door."
A president photo-op holding a Bible?

5th Day of Christmas
Jesus hated the rich.
"Camel through the gate."
"You can't serve both God and money."
"Sell all your possessions, then come follow me."
"If it takes money to be happy, you will never be happy."
"Love of money is the root of all kinds of evil."
"Woe to you who are rich."

3rd day of Christmas.
Jesus would be pro-choice. He was Jewish. Halakha prioritizes the woman's health. Talmud says the fetus has no indepedent life before 40 days. Torah says it doesn't have God's grace until born and gives abortion instructions. It's complicated but God gave free will, our choice.

Happy Bodhi Day!
The Buddhist holiday where Buddha attained enlightenment. Celebrated quietly with meditation, chanting, tea, cookies, milk, and rice, or even decorate a tree with multicolored lights and ornaments to represent the 3 Jewels and many paths to enlightenment.
Happy Holidays

3rd day of Christmas.
In the Gospels, Jesus teaches welcoming strangers and that defilement comes from within one's nation, not foreigners.
"God shows no partiality, but in any nation anyone who fears him is acceptable."
"Extend hospitality to strangers."
Noem's ICE directly counters this.

2nd day of Christmas.
Acts of the Apostles chapters 2 and 4 contain verses about the early Christian church allocating resources based on need with no private ownership, a proto version of communism/socialism.

12 Days of Holidays!
Jesus was an anarchist and enemy of the state. He preached counter to oath swearing and taxation, refused to testify, criticized the pharisee leaders, committed sacrilege in claiming divinity and walked too far. Followers interpreted the new kingdom as overthrowing Roman rule.
December 5, 2025 at 1:54 PM
Trump and Netanyahu make a new peace plan. Hamas agreed to some terms but not all. Couple of days later, Israel broke this one too. And that catches us up to today. I learned a lot about this conflict and I implore everyone to do a deep dive into before any debates around the Thanksgiving table.
November 25, 2025 at 1:31 PM
2025. Gaza ceasefire is made between Israel and Hamas. Hostages and prisoners are to be exchanged and humanitarian aid let through the blockade. Israel breaks the ceasefire and Hamas responds. UN's New York Declaration is approved (not by the US) to recognize Palestine as an independent state.
November 24, 2025 at 2:40 PM
South Africa brings charges of genocide against Israel. Both Israel and Hamas are investigated, both deny. Israel is found guilty and the settlements are demanded to be removed. Israel breaks into Lebanon and they start fighting. Then Iran backs up Lebanon. A ceasefire is made to prevent another WW.
November 23, 2025 at 1:52 PM
Israel announces expansion of settlements and Hamas retaliates, which causes more fighting, which leads to 2022 being declared the deadliest year of the conflict since 2005. Then, Oct 7, 2023, Hamas launched a surprise attack, killing 1200 civilians. Israel thus began its goal to wipe out Hamas.
November 22, 2025 at 2:13 PM
Ironically, the Gaza blockade prevented Covid for a while since people weren't allowed in or out. But once it got in, it spread like wildfire in an overtaxed healthcare state. Trump negotiated peace between Israel and some Arab countries. 2021, Israel evicted some Palestinians, and Hamas retaliated.
November 21, 2025 at 2:17 PM
Trump sided with Israel. The embassy opened in 2018. He cut funding to UN aid services to Palestine. He recognized annexed territories. He made a peace plan Palestine rejected because they were never included in its making. Netanyahu then announced annexing the West Bank, as according to that plan.
