"Before Christmas
was ever invented, December 25th was known as "the
birthday of the unconquered sun" and it was
celebrated as the birthday of pagan gods such as Mithras,
Attis, Sol, Dionysus and others."

Wow! Apparently, the Christian Church in the fourth century decided that they are going to start
celebrating the birth of
Jesus on December 25th, which happened to be the same date that the pagans were
celebrating as the birth
of numerous sun gods.
Why in the world would they do such a thing?
