So, I live about a minute's walk from the Church of the Nativity.
It dawned on me today that this could be the same as living a minute's walk from the Ka'bah or some other parallel.
I had this discussion in brief with a few folks at bible study a few weeks back, but thought I'd open it up to the general public..what, if anything, is Christianity's "Holiest Site"? Non-Christians are welcome to respond as well..
The choices below are by no means exhaustive. Feel free to defend your answer/provide insight in comments (and by feel free I mean please do.)
I've included some obvious choices (Nativity, Sepulchre), some not so obvious (River Jordan), some ecumenical (Western Wall, even St. Anne's for you Catholic-types). I haven't distinguished between the traditional places and their actual places (i.e., if you think Jesus' tomb would be the holiest place, but don't believe that the Holy Sepulchre is the right spot, choose that answer anyway...let's not split hairs at the moment. This means you, Lieutenant Laughlin.)
It is set up so that you can choose more than one answer. It will be more useful to me if you only choose one. The power is in your hands.
If it asks for a password, use "holycrap". I know. I know.
