It was rewritten and extended by Tarantino.
Here the actual verse: >I will carry out great vengeance on them and punish them in my wrath. Then they will know that I am the LORD, when I take vengeance on them

That was an interesting read. The history by Josephus, which was lost, was quoted by Tacitus, but that history was also lost, but Tacitus's quotation of Josephus was quoted by a third historian. And that meets the criteria for a primary source of the existence of Josh of Nazareth. Being a historian must be so incredibly frustrating.

Crucifixion sounds like cruci-fiction. Fiction is the opposite of fact.

It's not a fact that Jesus existed. It's accepted by historians that he probably existed.

Language evolves. In the UK holiday means vacation, in the US it means time off. Or do you think that Labor Day, a national holiday, is a religious day?

Sure. And if you decided that you wanted to put out a yule log because that's fun, would you call it a "holiday log"?

I'll tell my Hindu neighbor that he can't put up Christmas lights anymore.
Christmas is a secular holiday, however much the goofy christians want it to be otherwise.

Yeah, that was totally my point. 🙄
I say happy holidays, because not everyone celebrate Christmas, or Kwanzaa, or Chanukah.
Pretty sure the cards I sent out this year said "seasons greetings".
I don't care about Christmas as a religious holiday; I'm not xtian and the christos took all the trappings of the holiday from various pagan celebrations anyway.
On the other hand, what other seasonal holiday do people put up lights for in the winter? Not Thanksgiving, or Kwanzaa AFAIK, or Chanukah, or the winter solstice, or ... anything really. They're just Christmas lights.
There's a place for generality, and there's a place for specificity. You wouldn't call the menorah or the kinara a "holiday candlestick", after all. So why "holiday tree" or "holiday lights" when those are the trappings of a particular holiday?
