I mean, today is stolen holiday, and Jesus never existed. So, it’s just another shitty day in Bethlehem because a bunch of rich cunts want to kill people.
I hate Christmas too but it’s not pagan if that’s what you meant by stolen.
Ah yes. A random YouTube channel. The peak of academic heights.
It’s an internet discussion, if I linked a bunch of scholarly articles, like the creator of the video did, no one would actually read them. It’s a quick introduction for anyone who is curious. Also, this topic has come up on /r/askhistorians several times and has been answered by some of the same scholars referenced in the video.
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.
Please make a YouTube video with sources.
People hate the truth 🤷♂️
