My daughter is scheduled on the last week to be born. My wife and I decided to name her Alexandra, and her middle name will be Genesis. Can't wait! Sleep deprivation here I come!
Alexandra is a lovely name, Dom. Gratsies. Although Genesis for a middle name is a strange one... :?
I know a girl named Genesis, she is called Gennie for short by everyone.
So her parents called their daughter Genesis only for it to be shortened to Gennie...might as well have gone with Jenny :lol:

I have friends that met at a Genesis concert, and they named their daughter, ABACAB. :pound: they call her Abby, for short. True story. :roll:

Congratulations, Dom! I hope your wife has a smooth labour :) Alexandra is a beautiful name indeed.

Christmas means glory and redemption for me. The fact that Christ humbled himself to the form of a vulnerable child is so amazing to me, it's heart warming with how much love that must have took.

I, like Reactionary, do not like the secularization of Christmas, just like the secularization of Easter. It enrages me that so many atheists spend all this time belittling us, our message of hope and peace and love, but are MORE than willing to soak up the benefits of living in a Christian nation that gives time off with mandatory holiday time, more pay, etc.
To sustain the belief that there is no God, atheism has to demonstrate infinite knowledge, which is tantamount to saying, “I have infinite knowledge that there is no being in existence with infinite knowledge".
