The Falsehoods of Christmas

For the first three hundred years after Jesus Christ’s supposed death (A.D. 36), various groups within Christianity celebrated his birthday at various times throughout the year: January 2, January 6, March 21, March 25, April 15, April 18, 19, April 21, May 20, May 28, November 17, and November 20.

In A.D. 336, the Christian Emperor Constantine deliberately chose December 25 as Christ’s birthday (which became the first Christmas on record) to coincide with the same date the pagans celebrated the solar festivals and the Roman military the birth of their god, Mithras. Constantine outlawed all pagan worship. It would be easier for them to convert to Christianity, along with continuing to exchange gifts as they had when they worshiped their pagan gods and celebrated their festivals in hopes his Empire would become united.

Constantine himself did not convert to Christianity until he was on his deathbed. Most historians question his sincerity about being a Christian because he had killed just as many people (if not more) than his Roman Emperors. He also had his mother and son killed, which seemed to be a trait followed by a few emperors.

On the other hand, Constantine’s mother, Helena, while on a trip to the Holy Land in A.D. 326, claimed to have found three crosses that belonged to Jesus and the two thieves who were crucified and perfectly preserved buried after 300 years in the ground at a site where she was having a church built.

To add to this superb, Helena would also miraculously discover the nails used during the crucifixion nearby. One must consider that Helena was in her late 70s when all this supposedly happened. In today’s age group, this would equate to someone being 110 plus without all the modern-day drug stores and medicine to keep them alive and healthy.

Nevertheless, back in A.D. 336, one would not disagree with the divine emperor or his delusional mother whose words and findings would become the beliefs of today’s gullible 2.5 billion Christians, including the founding fathers of CBN.

Summary

The start of Christmas can trace its beginning to Nimrod in the Bible under Genesis. But Nimrod and Santa have a lot in common; they never existed.

The word Christmas came from two separate words, Christ and Mass, that the Roman Catholic Church put together from the words Chistes-messe, which dates back to 1131 AD.

I may not believe in the existence of Jesus Christ, but I believe in Christmas. Have the best and Merriest Christmas and New Year one person and family can have!
