How many of you believed that Jesus was born on Christmas day? I mean there's no way in the Bible that says that Jesus was born in the end of the year. Plus it was not even cold enough to be December. And there is proof that the so called birth of Jesus in December is just a cover up to celebrate a pagan festival. What do you think?

The Christmas date is celebrated near the time of the winter solstice which is the time the pagan god is reborn. Christ is said to have been born sometime in fall. I believe that this date was chosen to make a transition from paganism easier for those who followed this faith to come over to Christianity. Because there is no exact date for the Birth of Jesus. Many Christian traditions come from paganism though most Christians don't like hearing this... For instance the Christmas tree is a pagan concept as well.. Commonly refered to by Modern Pagans as the Wishing tree. It has a 5 point star which in Christianity represents the star that guided the wisemen to Bethlehem and in paganism is a symbol which represent the Higher power (the top point of the star) over the four elements earth, air, fire, and water.
The pentagram at one point was used in Christianity as an amulet of protection

You are right.. Jesus' birthday is not 25th of December.
It is a pagan's holiday. If you read the history of Christmas, you will know that it is not. You can read more about it in wikipedia if you want..
Jesus' birthday was said to be in spring..
Maybe March or something.. :)

We don't celebrate christmas because we think its Jesus actual birthday. This day is set aside because we don't really know the day. People have assumed it might be In Oct. Some say june or july who knows. If it such a pagan festival. When do we suppose to celebrate it?
