Jesus Was Not Born On December 25

Not on Xmas? Pah! what next? Magickal conception?

 

He was born in the early fall of 2 B.C.E.
Lets see.. a pagan holiday disguised as a christian holiday with weird rituals and a fat red host named Santa that lies to kids and
the majority of the population celebrates it. Yeah, i dont like it, but that is how i feel. People can do whatever they like.



And how do i know he didn`t?

How do you know he did?

 

Iunno, but throw a dart at a calender.. 365 days a year, the odds aren't in yer favor.

 

You should read better. I didn't proclaim to know what Jesus did on his birthdays, you did.

And how do you know he didn't celebrate his birthday... uhm is that a question for me? I would say you do not know that with certainty.

 

December 25 was the Roman winter solstice, about the time of the festival of Saturnalia, and the day designated for celebration of the official cult deity Sol Invictus. The birth of Jesus was an important event to Christians, and they wanted to celebrate it. December 25 was at least as good a day as any. Puritans made a fuss about the holiday being "pagan" and banned it when they were in power, but the winter festival was too popular. Why celebrate your own birthday?

 

for most people, it seems to be an excuse to say "hey, give me attention today!"

Valid question to me as well

But most people seem to do it anyway.

 

I don't celebrate my birthday I celebrate being born.

 

I like getting $$$

 

That's what people who celebrate their day of birth do as well.

 

All the time.

 

Good for you.

 

I'm not getting jesus anything this year if I don't find out when his real birth date is.

 

He would probably give it away to someone else anyway.

 

nothing against the guy, but i'm not real sure, what the day he was actually born, has to do with anything. for that matter, whatever the history of doing so, i just see celebrating peace, for the week and a bit, from solstice to new year, as a fine thing to do. one which would be better without BOTH the "religilosity" AND the consumerism. a festival of peace, snow, pine needles, multicolored electric lights, snow plows on trolly cars, and feasting.

 

But sadly that is not whats it about. It is about celebrating Jesus birthday, which he never did

 

Never was born. But lives all the same.

Are you saying he was never born?
