Missing the “reason for the season”?

The sad but all too true irony of this just grabs me. The Associated Press reports:

Greek Orthodox and Armenian priests attacked each other with brooms and stones inside the Church of the Nativity as long-standing rivalries erupted in violence during holiday cleaning on Thursday.

The church is built on the spot in Bethlehem where Christians believe Jesus was born. I guess it isn’t just alcohol that has a tendency to bring relatives to blows over the holidays.


Your religion is what you do when the sermon is over.
