As I walked out of the church of the Nativity and proceeded across manger square I couldn't help but notice the mosque spire with the creasent and the Christmas Lutheran Church in the background with the cross on its bell tower. Just a great picture of the religions of Bethlehem reminding me of the foolishness of many so called religious people with their narrow minded belief that they and only they know the truth when in fact none of us no the one true God, even if there is one.

I had the opportunity to travel to Israel this summer and got to tour many different sites while there this was one of the most impressive sites on the trip. I was so overwhelmed with being there that I had trouble composing a picture, I took this standard picture that everyone else takes and walked around and took several more one of which I'll share at a later time with a little history of the Dome of the Rock.
