This Christmas, God Spam is taking a Rashomon-like approach to the Nativity story (but without the rape and murder and creepy fortune teller). Here are four different videos describing the birth of Jesus, as told by...
...Social networking:
...Sincerely adorable New Zealand children:
...Lovably inaccurate American kids:
... And tongue-in-cheek Christian cartoonists:
The Christmas story comes out of years of church tradition and theological controversy, but you can get a nice run-down of what the Bible actually says here. In the words of writer Phyllis Tickle: "The Virgin Birth is so beautiful that it has to be true, whether it happened or not."
Merry Christmas from all one of us at God Spam!
