So basically you are saying that christmas has nothing to do with christianity, admit it's Pagan, while admitting the Bible is also based mostly on the teachings of Paganism? So why bother be christian?
Christmas has everything to do with christianity. We don't celebrate whatever the pagans celebrated on that day. We celebrate the birth of Christ on that day. What does it matter if it is on the same day that pagans celebrated something else? We could celebrate it on any day of the year that we wanted to.
