    Everyone knows Jesus was not born on December 25th, and yeah, it was stolen. I can make a YouTube video too. 🙄

      That doesn’t make it a stolen pagan holiday. Are you a professor of Roman art and Archeology like Steven Hijmans, one of the scholars cited in the video? The medium of presentation doesn’t make the information invalid.

        No scholars have ever gotten it wrong, or argued for something in favor of what their beliefs are, despite it being a well documented topic.

            Hehe. Naw, it’s widely accepted and documented. You can find this information easily.

            If you try hard enough, you can find info on how the earth is flat… with sources.

            So believe what you want. Idgaf

              I honestly don’t care. Who gives a fuck if a holiday is stolen or not. It isn’t even about Christ anymore. It’s about Santa.

              Also claiming stuff like that and refusing to provide sources and complaining about people who do, should just fuck off.

                  I won’t present you with evidence unless you believe me without evidence, at which point, you don’t need evidence anymore.

                    So you, an ML, believe Jesus is both real and born on Dec 25th, and that Christmas was not strategically placed on that date as a way to suppress another holiday in that period?
