Wow, what a clever post, Andrew. You’ve taken the greatest story ever told and, without insult or sarcasm, brought marketing to life. Not that you are insulting or sarcastic – but occasionally when this story is relayed for a general audience, there’s a judgmental hook.

Thanks for tailoring your post to the season, and presenting marketing (which sometimes seems smokey and vague) with concrete examples.

I enjoyed it and am still chuckling – you have a gift of interpreting things creatively but explaining them for all to understand.

Well done – happy holidays,

You write very well. An intelligent comparison.

Thanks Camille, here’s hoping I don’t attract further negative attention for posting my last comment on a Sunday.

Hi Andrew,

I think many of our readers probably missed that reference

But Nazareth it is and it’s now been updated.

Cheers,

@tigtog,

Wow – I’m rather embarrassed. You’re right, I didn’t look it up the Good Book before writing it as I just took it for granted that I knew the story sufficiently… a simple mistake though, no?

Incidentally, I showed that to over a dozen believers – including two pastors – and you’re the first one to point out the error (perhaps they were just being kind).

Anyway, I stand corrected. Thanks for letting me know. Proverbs 8:9 ‘…rebuke a wise man and he will love you.’.

P.S. Now to get Tim to update it for me…

Look, it’s a nice little conceit, but you’d probably get a better reaction from the faithful (or even the literate) if they couldn’t just dismiss you from the very first line.

The Angel of the Lord did not appear to Mary in Bethlehem. If you take the Bible’s words for it, the Angel appeared to her somewhere near to Nazareth in Galilee, about 9 months before the journey to Bethlehem.

You guys would get better results with this stuff if you just did your homework.
