I don't want to start an argument, but the guy asked a question and you guys are talking religion and Christmas.

I'll tell you that I'm monotheist.

Now I'll explain how Christmas is totally at the wrong time of year.

Scientifically speaking, Jesus was supposedly born in Jerusalem. Jerusalem is in the Northern Hemisphere. Now this is the Middle East here, and that means winter=decent temperatures, not snow or all that other. Second, most reports agree Jesus was born under a palm tree. These grow all year long, so that cannot be determined. However, it is said that Mary was intructed by Gabriel to shake the tree, and when she did, dates fell. Dates grow only in summer.

Now we turn to religious points of view. Islam says Isa, the name for Jeus in the Quran, was perhaps born in Ramadan. This Ramadan is said to be in the year 9 BC. Ramadan 9 BC was actually in May-June of that year. So then we can safely say that the Isalmic Isa/Jesus was born sometime in June of 9BC. So Christmas has the wrong day.

Judaism tells us that Jesus was born in 1 CE and sometime in September. This is quite vague.

The Chistians say he was born on December 25.

Now, by making a box-and-whisker plot comparing our dates, the lowest value is June 10, the lower quartile is July 30, the median is September 25, the upper quartile is October 28, and the highest value is December 25. Now, the most liekly birthdate falls between June 10 and October 28. The median between those is August 20. So Jesus was perhaps, according to Abrahamic data and scientific mathematical calculations, born on August 20 of 4.5 BC. Now, some Southern Hemishpere peoples loke to have Christmas in winter, so they do Christmas in July, the cold hell of Australian time. That is totally screwed up.
