Pope Benedict XVI is decrying the commercialization of Christmas and urging the faithful to look beyond the holiday's superficial glitter to discover its true meaning.
Christmas is as true as Santa Clause or the Easter Bunny who lays eggs; these absurd ascertains come from the inner workings of religion, based solely on dogma – a statement of belief devoid of rationality. The only thing real about Christmas is consumerism and profit.
The only reason to be a religion is to exclude others and pay no taxes on their property – dogma is the price of admission into religion. Other spiritual entities, with books of truth instead of dogma, took on the mantle of religion for the tax benefit and power sharing.
Trying to bring something good out of that which intrinsically not true is, tricky business; no wonder religion appears hypocritical and self-serving. The Torah is meant as an individual guide, a narrow bridge built on the prayers of creation to the Creator.
The Cabala explains, In every falseness there is an inner truth – the word Christ is Greek for the Anointed referring to the concept of Moshiach/Oil Pourer – a gift from God to be given to our world when murder has been erased and peace on earth is embraced throughout.
