He wasn't born on 12/25. It was more like sometime in July.

 

[ThatComputerDude]

It don't matter what day he was born. The point is, chistmas is celebrated BECAUSE OF Jesus. Over the years we just added Santa Claus and christmas trees and all that stuff.

 

[AbAbber2k]

lol at this thread

 

[Brazen]

It just adds to the hardships in Jesus's life. He only got presents once a year

 

[shoRunner]

why do people start such dumb threads?

Christ was born in the spring. Christ was not born on December 25th. December 25th is a pegan holiday that the Christians chose to celebrate Christ's birthday on in an attempt to skew and disolve the pegan holiday.

No. It is celebrated when it is because the Romans didn't see the need to give up a prefectly good Winter holiday just because they switched religions. Neither did any of the other convert peoples. Seasonal holidays long preceded Christianity and will continue long after Chistianity is forgotten.

I don't celebrate Christ on Christmas. I celebrate the all-powerful materialistic SALE god. And the rum god. And the fudge god, and the snow god, and the christmas lights god, and the presents god, and the good-time-with-family god. People don't need one day a year to celebrate the birth of Christ. There are so many more things that have far more significance to celebrate than his birth. Christians celebrate Christmas more than they do Easter Sunday. Does that tell you anything?

If this isn't a joke, then I don't know what to say.

Me either. What Xmas in July? What does any of this matter, won't change anything. Just like the new gospel according to Judas that was found recently. Mans perception of events that took place, what else is missing, what else really did happen, that we don't know about. Be interesting to findout the truth for once. I'd like to know what is false about the bible, yeah, 99% of it.

Have you even read the bible? I love people who bash it when they probably haven't taken the time to read it themselves.

Oh please, don't give me that holier than thou attitude, all I am saying, you never know.
I am also Irish Roman Catholic, I am *somewhat* familiar with the bible.

There's a difference between making the claim that you are of a certain faith and practicing the faith.

Whether the bible has its falicies or not, running around saying 99% of it probably isn't true then saying you believe in its teachings just makes you look dumb.

How can you believe in the teachings of the Roman Catholic Church, which is based from the bible and not believe that it's true?

Also, the fact that you are Irish or of Irish descent really has no bearing on following the Roman Catholic religion.

Did you not see the That was meant for sarcasm, learn it. Ones background, whether it be Irish or not, I do realize has no bearing on the Roman catholic religion. :roll: It was just a statement.

" " could mean anything. You can't tell tone over the internet.

On this thread, you're going to have to be more specific.

 

[Chiboy]

The truth is christmas was started after Christ as you call him. So in theory if religion was made up, or parts at least... you see where i'm going?

 

[FeuerFrei]

This thread may not be the place for serious discussion, however I do think Jesus was born in September. Christmas means "Christ sent" so Dec. 25 would mark the day he was made flesh when Mary conceived miraculously.

[mrSHEiK124]

He wasn't, it was some pagan sun god holiday and it got changed. Now its the capitalist sale god holiday.

 

[SirStev0]

He wasn't really born on xmas day...
the holy roman empire decided to pick that day because it coincided with pagan soltice (sp?) ceremonies as well as roman holidays.

It's also the Independence Day holiday

Now this makes me think... How come Independence Day is most commonly called by the day it falls on? People don't usually refer to Christmas as the 25th of December as the name of the holiday.
