Shepherds don't tend their flocks out in the wild in December.

December is one of the few months we know for sure Christ was NOT born in.
 The granting of a pardon is an imputation of guilt, and the acceptance a confession of it.

Spooky, you're chaotic neutral. You know the answer to this by now.

It doesn't matter a bit if the date of celebration has pagan roots or isn't when Jesus was actually born.  What matters is what it means to people who celebrate it today.

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?
"The belief that everything came from a invisible man, was rational enough in the prehistoric era.
This belief in the modern world however, is hallucination and cannot be explained otherwise."
