I feel like dedicated Christians should celebrate Jesus's birthday when he was born... [Spirituality & Religion]

Likely in late September at some point...

The calendar also starts with 1 instead of zero since it’s based on Roman numerals and they didn’t recognize 0 as a number 🤔

@SW-User well it's not a number... It's the symbol that represents the absence of a number.

@GardenSage zero is a indeed a number

And also stop depicting him as a tall, white man, when he more than likely was a short, brown man.

We are not sure when he was actually born. What we could do without is all the commercialism that surrounds Christmas in the West. Seems odd way of celebrating a child born in a stable!

@Speedyman Let’s look at what the Bible says in Luke 2:8-9. “Now there were in the same country shepherds living out in the fields, keeping watch over their flock by night. And behold, an angel of the Lord stood before them, and the glory of the Lord shone around them, and they were greatly afraid.”

According to Bible commentator Adam Clarke, it was customary for the Jews to send their sheep to pasture from the spring until early October. As the cold winter months began, the flocks would return from the fields for shelter and warmth. Since the shepherds were still tending their flocks in the fields around Bethlehem it can be concluded that the angels announced the news of Jesus’ birth no later than October.
I think Christmas is a nice break in the winter.

@nonsensiclesnail it's not an opinion lol.

It doesn't make sense to celebrate a birthday at a different part of the year because you like a mid-winter break. Hence "nonsensical" (it's only hysterically ironic that it's your name)
That makes it a fact.

Now if I said it was DUMB, that would.be an opinion.

Know the difference.
@GardenSage right. So that’s an opinion.

@nonsensiclesnail fact: you don't know what an opinion is
