JimC,
Why is the fact that Dec. 25th is not the actual birthday of JC matter? I
don't think anyone really thinks 12/25 is his birthday, they use that
annual
date to celebrate his birth. It is very common among parents who adopted
children from overseas, to designate a date to celebrate the child's
birthday. They know it is not the actual date, but it allows them to
celebrate their child's birthday. Why is this so hard to understand?
You don't have to convince me of that fact! I fully understand the myth
of it. Tell that to the fans of Christmas in this group. I am not one of
them. I am not a Christian.

JimC,
I think you missed the point, maybe intentionally, maybe not. I don't think
any Christians believe Dec. 25th is the actual day Christ was born. They
believe they are using that day to celebrate his birth, not that it is his
actual birthday.

No, Lord Smithers, I didn't miss the point at all. There are many
Christians believe the bible, word for word and they still think the Jesus
Christ was born on Christmas Day. These Christians then want to make the
whole rest of the world believe it also. I just don't believe it. You
can believe what you want to believe in, birthday or not, just don't try to
force it on others, in your country, that do not share your belief.
Remember, your country is the one that is supposed to be free.

Could you point out one or two of those? I don't see that happening, but I'd like to be enlightened.

No one forces you to go to a Christian Church. So how is that forcing his
beliefs on you? Same as Wal-Mart, or Macy's with their ads forcing shopping
at those stores on you.
