Yeah, I agree. But what I'm saying is that we should be very carefull when linking, because ie: pagans had meals with their families...
And that, this really has a bad effect on people and on Christianity. And it's like we're told that people took a ritual that had nothing do to with Jesus Christ and changed the date for "political power" and so on. This opens the gate to think that Christmas has a "dark origin", so people can't even celebrate in peace.
And all of this is fully based on fake assumptions. All. Starting with "we know the date is wrong"
Paganism is the religions outside the three main monotheistic. And they would always lead to acts of extreme violence.
The goal is to let people go off those perceptions.
Did they change the date for Christmas? I will tell you I don't know the answer to that question.
Guess no one can be sure. But all the evidence, says the date was not changed.
Different evidences say different things. So it comes down to which you choose to take and not take.
