I know some have seen the post about The Christmas Star appearing this year on December 21st. I couldn't help but really take a deeper look at how amazing that this occurrence would be happening in the year 2020. In the year when Jesus was born, there was violence, chaos, political and social unrest. It was dark. The Magi found him by way of the star, which was the "meeting" of 3 stars: Jupiter, Saturn and Mars. They followed the star until it rested on where he was and they began to worship him. In a time where is was dark, Light was brought in to our world. Jesus stepped in to the chaos and brought peace. Fast forward to this year, 2020. It's a time of violence, chaos, political and social unrest. It is dark. Winter Solstice, December 21st, being a time where the day is the shortest and night is the longest...it's literally the "darkest day" and is the beginning of what most would say the cold, dark winter season. But on the darkest day this year, Jupiter and Saturn meet, giving us the Christmas Star! How fitting...that in the moment of time during the Christmas season that we get to see this beautiful reminder...that even in the darkest of times...Light will, and has, stepped in. In our chaos He is there. In our darkest time, He is there. He brings Light, and makes all things new. So as you look out on Dec 21st for the Christmas Star, may we be reminded of His power, and His Light that he brings for all mankind. He is perfect at stepping into chaos and bringing it into peace. Copied from a friend... you may do the same. Thank you Jesus!

Of course, anyone can insult or mock a fictional character. It is apparent he/she/it, your choice, god, has done exactly zero. Example --the Catholic Church called down the vengeance of god on apostates, so, since god was busy else where, the priests did the murder instead.
In other words, spare me your mental illness and self delusions
Thank you for the kind compliments, they are happily accepted.
As to were to find the Knowledge and how YOU can achieve it you need only do the following, with a mind 'like a parachute, it only works when it is opened'.
First a brief study of astronomy to see how stars DO move in the sky, hint its circular.
Second, a REAL study of how the bible came to be, and why and by whom and for what reasons. Briefly, it is a collection of stories from several nations, gathered into one binder, and used as a prop for Judaism. Who wrote them, when, where and why, no one can say with Proof and Certainty.
Then comes X-tainity, and steals the Hebrew writings and subsumes them into a new religion. It seems the rough outline of X-tainity is the work of "Saint " Paul as a means of revenge against being snubbed by his rabbi peers. Jesus, in the current spelling, was first a Preacher, then a Prophet, and at last, when they wanted to bring in the pagans, became the son of god, because that was in the pagan world view of religion. gods mating with humans and the rest. Ref; any secular and even some religious texts/books on the founding and creating of the early X-tain religion
Consider; your vaunted KJV bible. It was made by a king with NO mandate from god of any sort, in an effort to unify the English nations. He and his picked writers pick thru the texts HE liked, threw out ones that he did not like, and ones which were tainted by the Popeish Church. So we went from the bible of the Pilgrims, which context was "US against THEM' to the re creation of the social systems of the era of King James set into religious tones and themes. Ref. read any scholarly text on the creation of the King James Bible
Next take you 'hallowed' rally cry to the tune "All Hail Jesus, Call on Jesus to Save you' and rah rah. There is a Problem here, there is no such name. IF you want to call down the wrath of god on me for this, and you call on Jesus, you have got a wrong number.
A look at linguistics and the text is in order. First there is no "J" in the Roman alphabet. For long centuries the name was --IESUS. If you go back to Araimic and Hebrew languages, you will find the name of this person as [in English} as Joshua ben Joseph. Which at least makes sense; Joshua means 'god is my help' Ref: Strongs Concordance of the Bible
The 'last name ' is in fact a title, not a patronymic . Thus you have two errors in the infallible book of your claims. There are more; how about Genesis where 'god made breeches for Adam". Ref. look up the "Breeches Bible" of the17th Century.
And the Last Source of Knowledge, The Book of Life- I would wager I am old enow to be your grandfather, I have lived longer and learned more than thee.
Thank you for the kind reply- it was a pleasure to offer it
