You mean a carpenter’s son, as the pharisees called him?
There is no evidence that he ever was a carpenter; he was following the course of study of a child priest.
So observing reality is “self righteous?”
Describe how.
Decent Christmas movies? Nothing quite says “Merry Christmas” than Santa Claus whippin’ some Martian butt.

I can answer the question of what is causing 99% of Israel’s problems in the world. Surprisingly, it isn’t the Muslims. They are just an effect of this cause. The cause itself is entirely Israeli and Jewish.
Israel is the king of the “wishy-washy”. The expression meaning: “Lacking in strength of character or purpose; ineffective; weak in willpower. Insipid.”
If you took any other nation in the world, that had an enemy in its borders that aligned itself with a foreign enemy for the purpose of annihilating that nation and people, and it fought that foreign enemy off, what would it do with the domestic enemy that supported that foreign enemy?
Easy answer: it would either expel them or kill them. Because it would be insane to allow them to continue to live in their nation. They are traitors, a fifth column.
And mind you, this would only need to happen *once*, for *any* other nation in the world to expel or kill this enemy.
It has happened to Israel over and over again, and still Israel cannot bear the idea of expelling its murderous and vile enemies from its borders. Are they insane?
Only by dint of their being wishy-washy beyond any possible explanation have they allowed this situation to continue without end for more than half a century now.
And the part that is most aggravating for everyone else in the world who is sick to death of Israel’s inability to act to solve its own problem, is that acting would be so very easy to do.
Instead of being so wishy-washy, Israel should create a rule, that each and every time they are attacked by Muslims, the Palestinians would lose land. Why land? Because it is seemingly the only thing they care about.
And once lost, the Israelis must be firm that this land will never, ever again be owned by Muslims. It is forever forfeit. And if they attack Israel again, they will forever forfeit *more* land.
No matter what they promise or threaten, that land is gone to Muslims. Even if they get western nations to pressure Israel to return that land, because it is nothing, Israel must refuse to do so.
This would end the status quo. And Muslims would have only one choice: either attack and lose land, or peace.
Importantly, it has to be universal. Any Muslim attacks Israel, and the Paleos lose land. Doesn’t matter who, what faction they belong to, what nation they hail from.
If Israel did this ONE thing, then eventually this nonsense would end.
But Israel and Jews are too wishy-washy. And that is the path to destruction. It is their choice, but they have been wishy-washy for over half a century, so either they change, or they end by their own hand.

OK, I gotta ask - How can Chinese food possibly be considered kosher? Anyone?
Not with all the Pork they use, and the shellfish too.
I know, right? Maybe I stay away from Famous Dave's for no good reason!
Outside the USA I think Israel is just about as unpopular with Christians as it is with everybody else.
Also, most of "the Christian world" is no such thing. It's post-Christian.
I was wondering the same thing.
There is a thick thread of sarcasm woven through the words you have written, but you have written the truth.
In the 1,500 or so years of islam's existence there has never been what passes for "peace" between islam and the rest of the world that wasn't preceded by a military clash that killed enough muslims to cause them to retreat. muslims must die for that to happen, not Jews, Christians, Hindus, Buddhists, Taoists, pagans, nor even atheists.
The same clash is in our future.
What passes for muslim "holy writ" calls for the death of "others," if need be. For muslims the death of "others" is just business as usual.
Well the thousands in the Middle East that are being murdered are not hiding. No other Christian that I know is hiding either.
A lot of us Jews don’t keep kosher. The Chinese restaurant tradition comes from an assumption the Chinese are not Christian, perhaps Buddhist, and do not close for Christmas. My mother, my wife, and I went out for Chinese on Christmas eve.
When I was single, I went to a Jewish singles dance, either in Baltimore, or Washington. Christmas Eve rather sucks for a single Jew - nothing appealing on TV, and the weather can be awful.
I usually spend Christmas day visiting a shelter for homeless families and several other group homes operated by a local charity, on whose board I serve as a volunteer, thanking the staff for working on their holiday.
Then some quiet time at home with my wife, a book, and a pipe full of prime tobacco.
Jesus was not only a Jew, he was Israeli, and I expect future major general of the IDF.
I have proclaimed this truth on Free Republic for many years and that is a fact!
Ahh, there it is! Some of us Christians do - albeit differently, not relying upon the Rabbinic Traditions.

Heh. I get that. Try being a Torah observant (trying anyway) Christian some time...

Excellent. Thank you for your reply.
What is your evidence for this? Jesus was not from a priestly family or even a Levite. He was of the royal house of the tribe of Judah.
When he sat down with the scribes and scholars for three days in the temple at the age of 12, he amazed them by his learning and deep knowledge of the Scriptures. I think they would have been more amazed by a carpenter's (builder's) son, with only the elementary teaching given him, than a prodigy halfway through a college course.
Those who do this are not kosher observant.
Christians and Jews, bothers and sisters, family.
