As we continue to look at the story of Jesus and the celebration of his birth, we will look at the curious claims made by Bill Maher in his documentary “Religulous.” He presents some of the best of religious scholarship.

His perspective is sorely outdated, and his claims that Jesus’ virgin birth is borrow from stories of Horus, Mithra, and Krishna (among others) are deeply misguided.
