			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>With both religion and politics, you really should try to get your facts straight before telling people about them.</p>
<p>My husband posted this yesterday, and I thought it was worth mentioning on my blog as well, just so that those who don&#8217;t already read his blog will know about it.</p>
<p>He posted about Nick Griffins telling of the Nativity Story &#8211; <strong>check it out <a href="http://sacredfish.wordpress.com/2009/12/30/nick-griffin-tells-the-nativity-story/" target="_blank">here</a>.</strong> It&#8217;s well worth watching, if only to play spot the mistakes, or gain a better awareness of how clueless the Member of Parlament from the British National Party is! He tells the Nativity story like it&#8217;s a childs story, that can be added to, altered and taken away from without any impact.</p>
<p>According to Nick, the shepherds AND the &#8220;Kings/Wise men&#8221;  knew where to find Jesus because they followed the star, and they all met up in the stable, the same evening, soon after Jesus had been born!</p>
<p>Jesus&#8217;s gifts were gold, incense and myrrh. As said in Wikipedia &#8211; &#8220;The three gifts had a spiritual meaning : gold as a symbol of kingship on earth, frankincense (an <a title="Incense" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Incense">incense</a>) as a symbol of priestship, and myrrh (an embalming oil) as a symbol of death.&#8221; or on the non-spiritual means &#8220;Myrrh being commonly used as an anointing oil, frankincense as a perfume, and gold as a valuable.&#8221; Or if you are Nick it&#8217;s gold because and frankincense and myrrh because they are <strong>expensive</strong>.</p>
