Short answer....take some grad classes in rel. studies, or read some of the books by Bart Ehrman, Ph. D., and this eras scholar in NT.
In short, the world needed no savior, and messiah, was made into Messiah, only in the 330's and the Council of Nicaea. The whole idea revolved around sin..... which is a nasty trick....and it works like this:
Sin is an imaginary disease, invented to sell you an imaginary cure... And the imaginary cure, ---TADA--- is RELIGION!!!!!!!!!.
This just goes to show that religion is both barbaric and a lying scam.
No civilized person today, or ever, holds the descendents of someone accused of something to be culpable. Just because your daddy shot someone, doesn’t mean that YOU pay the penalty!!!!!!!
Even if the Adam and Eve myth were true, it cannot apply to ANYONE currently alive today, for the obvious reason that no one currently alive was alive and present when Adam and Eve were sinning. Looking at this this way, it’s pretty silly, isn’t it????
The whole doctrine of 'sin' is based on a really barbaric idea.
Sin doesn’t exist today, either.
It is an imaginary idea to keep control of you. For unquestioning believers, it works.... they pony up money, pray, hope and believe....with no evidence.
There are stupid acts that will get you jail time, or a fine, or have your honey leave you but sin?
Ridiculous....utterly ridiculous, yet some people believe this stuff.... amazing.
People have long celebrated the end of winter, when days get longer.... in or around Dec 21-15. Some ancients called it Saturnalia. Google it. And google Messiah v. messiah. Jesus was just a guy who opted to irritate Pilate during Passover. And with no civil rights, like we had to day, the Romans murdered him as an example...."Give us a bad time, and this can happen to you too"....and it did. Thousands of people were crucified by the Romans....all of the run away slaves that took Rome two years to round up...led by Spartacus, were crucified along the Apian Way... the main road into the city of Rome.... 7000 in all, left to rot in the sun.

Christmas has nothing to do with either Godbor with Christ. Itbis all pureboaganism from Satan. Part of Satans effort to keep humans away from any PURE worship that God requires from 2 Corinthians 6:14-18, among many other places.
Jesus did not become the Christ until His baptism at age 30. Salvation was not effective until Jesus presented the value of his sacrifice 50 days after his resurrection at 33.5 years old.
Repeating, it is a PAGAN HOLIDAY. Not Christian at all.

We celebrate Christmas because people are materialistic and it's fun to give and get presents.
Regardless, Jesus Christ was born in March.
I'm an atheist, and a pretty strong one at that, but hey, I'm not going to turn down an opportunity to bring my family together, eat, and give and get gifts.
And we celebrate Christmas as opposed to Hannukah or holidays of the like because it's relatively common.

So I guess you think all gods are real. How else could the holy days of any religion exist if its god did not exist?
How many gods do you believe in?

? You do realise Christmas is simply a re-purposing of older pagan festivals don't you?
