Dear member,

Last time I checked Jesus is a religious figure. Born among the "Children of Israel" but rejected by his own people (Jews) and 'Adopted" by largely different groups (Albeit as per Bible he was sent to guide Jews!!).

ALSO

there are scientists and religious scholars who differs about exactly when Jesus was born.


Either way, why a "SECULAR" group offering religious greetings to all? When Christian nations separated this religious greetings. Now a day they do not say Merry Christmas but say 'Happy holidays" to the mass (Unless you are part of the church group or from the Bible belt of USA)

Care to clarify?

Shalom!!

Subject: [mukto-mona] Greetings

 

 

Dear friends,

 

Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!

 

We offer our sincere greetings on the eve of Christmas and New Year. Christ came with a message of peace and love for humanity and dedicated his life for this mission. Mahatma Gandhi, the apostle of peace from India was also greatly influenced by Christ's message. The vested interests and fanatics could not tolerate these apostles of peace and freedom.

 

Let us struggle hard and see no apostle of peace meets with this tragic-end and peace and love prevails in our world.

 

We wish you all a Merry Christmas and a peaceful and violence-free year.
