They don’t know it, but Christians are “sun worshipers”.
The birth story of Jesus mirrors a dozen other birth stories of so called “messiahs” pre-dating Christianity by hundreds or thousands of years.
Horus was the Egyptian sun god born to a virgin on the 25th of December. Also, crucified on a cross to rise three days later.
Mithra - another example of a “messiah” born to a virgin on the 25th of December. Also, crucified on a cross to rise three days later.
The significance of the December 25th date is this (among other things). On the 22nd of December the sun appears to momentarily “hang” in the sky - which, for sun worshipping societies meant the death of the sun. (Ie. the shortest day of the year).
The sun resumes its “normal” motion through the skies on the 25th (representing its rebirth and the “dawn” of longer days).
On the 25th, the star Sirius lines up with the sun at dawn on one side and the “three kings” of Orien’s Belt on the other side.
This is why Jesus’ birth was attended by the three kings who followed the “star of Bethlehem”.
“Bethlehem” literally means “house of bread” and is literally a constellation in the sky which accompanies this date. The town never existed.
All of the above is well documented in “Zeitgeist: The Movie.”
The earth has a roughly 2,100 year procession in which the sun appears to rise in different constellations throughout the zodiac.
The story of Jesus, the “messiah” the “son” of God is the story of how the Sun was reborn on the 25th of December in the age of Pisces.
Like the age of Taurus before Jesus, the sun God Horus was born on the 25th of December.
It’s basically just a sun worshipping cult who don’t realize what the origins of their goatherder mythology are.
Some say we’re approaching the dawning of the age of Aquarius. I’m just waiting for that date to roll over so that we can have a new sun god messiah to worship
