New year's day is the 8th day of Jesus' life. The year begins on the anniversary of his circumcision.

The actual date of Jesus' birthday is not known; Christmas is just the date it is celebrated. We know it was not in December because the Bible clearly states that the shepherds were out with their flocks and that doesn't happen in winter. This isn't some gotcha where we now know the entire religion is false. We pick dates to celebrate things for lots of reasons.

>>543464106christmas was an amalgam of pagan celebrations as a part of the great melting pot scheme by Constantine. Winter Solstice nonsense.
>>543464521>We know it was not in December because the Bible clearly states that the shepherds were out with their flocks and that doesn't happen in winter.Shepherds can't take flock outside during a winter that was probably around 15 during day and like 6 at night?You do know that different parts of the world have different weather right?
>>543466082There's also the fact that there was a national census going on when Jesus was born, requiring possibly days and weeks of travel for many. Unlikely that this would happen in winter.
>>543465998> great melting pot scheme by ConstantineThere is no proof of that at all, pretty much the earliest records of people celebrating the nativity are from Rome and basically within a few years of his death.>Winter Solstice nonsenseJulius did have the calendar calculated for that Solstice on Dec 25, that isn't a defeater for the East Orthodox position. Orthodox don't have the view that they need to destroy all antecedent public holidays or governments according to the ideals of symphonia which dictates how the church interacts with secular rulership but you're assuming that any pre-christian incorporation of custom represents some Christian-pagan merger
>>543466082I am the actual reincarnation of Jesus, and I did become like Chris-chan and troon out a little and become retarded, and he claims to be Christ too.I'm sorry, I am a demiurge, there's no rapture, only eternal maintenance.I'm spiritually strong as fuck when I get around to it, so don't care how much I'm humiliated. I could rape reality and make everyone forget everything and dominate their wills. Mucked myself up spiritual, but can build it back up into a tipping point, then could start fixing reality and maybe even grant a miracle.Haha, your gods a retard demiurge. Though that make sense, Sidhartha basically tried to kill himself spiritually and I'm probably him as well.

>>543464106Jesus wasn't circumcised, idiot.
>>543466599Do the East Orthodox also set up pagan trees in their living rooms too? But I'm sure the tree just symbolises Jesus or something, right? Not another vestige of pagan tradition?
