Frank McCormick, a former teacher and constitutional conservative, posted on X early Thursday asking if people enjoy Christmas aesthetics like lights, music, and decorations. Over 50 Jewish respondents largely expressed delight in the holiday's vibe and mood-boosting elements amid winter, noting cultural participation such as eating Chinese food on Christmas or decorating neighbors' trees. Many highlighted the irony that iconic songs like 'White Christmas' and 'Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer' were written by Jewish composers including Irving Berlin and Johnny Marks. While a minority opts out, the thread with over 4,000 views reflects American pluralism and shared seasonal goodwill transcending faith.

Wichtigste Erkenntnis

A simple question on X about enjoying the Christmas season sparked dozens of positive replies from Jewish users, who praised its twinkling lights, festive music, and communal joy without embracing its religious core.

Agnostic New Testament expert Bart Ehrman, in his 2009 book Jesus, Interrupted, noted no 1st-century non-Christian Greek or Roman sources mention Jesus—a point he made to explain why a Galilean preacher wouldn't catch elite notice, not to deny his existence. Ehrman has long argued for a historical Jesus, baptized by John the Baptist and crucified under Pontius Pilate around 30 AD, backed by early Christian texts like Paul's letters from the 50s AD, the Gospels, and later references from Josephus and Tacitus. Nearly all scholars agree on this basic historicity, treating the evidence like that for other ancient figures such as Socrates.

Wichtigste Erkenntnis

A post pulled a line from scholar Bart Ehrman's book to question Jesus' existence, but critics pointed out the full context shows he affirms a real historical figure from 1st-century Judea.

Images shared on February 17 show a glittering skyline of 80-story buildings that didn't exist three years ago, coinciding with North Korea's completion of 50,000 housing units in the capital. Leader Kim Jong Un hailed the project as an epoch-making success at a handover ceremony, with construction spanning districts like Songsin, Songhwa, and Hwasong since 2021. Satellite imagery confirms the rapid development, credited to mobilized youth brigades, though critics highlight it as a showcase city masking rural struggles and funded partly by arms sales to Russia.
