There was no Christmas for early Christians in the Roman empire and even though it was still growing, they had difficulty because Christianity is not a very fun religion. Romans were getting shit faced and having great orgies for Saturnalia and the week after for Sol Invictus, so Christianity latched on and made their own celebration so that being a Christian in the winter time didn't suck so much. It's like Kyle's Jew on Christmas thing only for Christians. It's an arbitrary celebration created to attract followers and publicity, particularly dated because Romans were used to festivals around that part of the calender. | ||

Zeitgeist's more interesting claims have to do with economics and history. Honestly debunking popular religions in the west is so easy and has been for centuries. We don't need to debate over Zeitgeist to talk about Christian claims, or the outrageous ways they try to shoot down Zeitgeist (or anything else that disagrees with them). They are consistently wrong on everything we could possibly research, and so maybe we can debate over areas where the knowledge is not yet (and may never be complete) but what's the point? | ||
