  • Um akshually, Christmas was being celebrated a century before then but didn’t have a set date yet. There’s a good chance both holidays picked the 25th because it’s the winter solstice and everyone was into astrology back then.

    Hopefully I don’t get attacked like the last time I mentioned this. Also, a lot of the other “pagan” traditions in Christmas, like the yule log, showed up centuries after Norse paganism died out, which was a completely different religious tradition from Roman paganism.

    If you want criticize early Christianity just point out how the gospels were written a generation after all the eyewitnesses died and that a bunch of other books didn’t make the final cut of the bible, e.g. gospel of Thomas.
