His deity certainly does still seem to be the stumbling block to many. Over this last week a saw a segment of Shatner's talk show and was actually surprised by the content. He was interviewing Valerie and every question had to do with religion. She was raised (partially) in her youth as Catholic - which is why so much talk on religion. (I'm sure not every week is like that.)

Anyway, I heard Valerie say many times that she tries very hard to do the right thing and hopes that she will make it to heaven. She did not once even say the name of Jesus during the show (while I was watching). She admitted to sin, to heaven and hell, but didn't give Jesus' the credit for salvation.

Now, maybe she thought that this was too basic of a concept to go into. Or maybe she isn't well versed at witnessing to His actions. I don't know; but that seemed to me the most appropriate thing to say in that situation.

I recently read an article that someone had written about how they thought December 25 was not Christ's actual date of birth. I thought the same thing you did.

While everyday should be focused on God, the Christmas season provides a time to specifically reflect on how Christ humbled Himself to come down and be a sacrifice for our sins.

Sure there are things that are interesting to discuss, but Christ's deity is what it all comes down to. His death, burial and resurrection. The fact that He is the only way to salvation separates the real and the fake.
