I am of Pagan beliefs, so I would like Christians to explain something to me. In the bible in Luke 1:26 it is said that Mary concieved Jesus miraculously in the sixth month (being June), why then is Jesus's birthday (Christmas) celebrated on December 25th when it is obvious he would have born in March of the following year? Was he miraculously born premature?!? It is painfully obvious that Christianity for the last 1500-2000 years has based so much from the original beliefs of Pagans,prior to the onslaught of violence and domination that King James and others brought upon those who chose not to adapt to the Christain faith.

Frankly my point is this....there were many,many pre-existing days of celebration,births,deaths,etc in the Pagan belief system long,LONG before Christianity came about. There are far too many thoughts in the bible founded from previously held beliefs of "religions" that pre-date Christianity...
