When Was Jesus Born?

Churches today claim that Jesus was born on 25 December. There is no proof at all for this. The Bible has no mention of it. So why do Christians still believe it? In the first place, if the Bible-god wanted Jesus' birthday to be celebrated, he would have made sure that it was recorded. The fact that it was not recorded tells us that it is not important. This is another area where we find Christians believing blindly what has not been proven. The reason is that most of them are afraid of going against the mainstream. It is easier to just follow the crowd than to ask questions. If you are a Christian, would you have the courage to look for the truth and stand up for it, even if it means disagreeing with the mainstream churches? What does your pastor say? Or is this question not as important as how much money a church collects, or how many members they have, etc.?

Those who believe in the Bible but do not accept Christmas as the birthday of Jesus are usually in the minority sects like the Jehovah's Witnesses, and they have been labelled as cults by the mainstream. Who is right or wrong will not be known on this earth. Just because you follow the majority does not mean you are right, just that you have security in numbers.

This question would not very important if not for the alleged connection of Christmas with pagan religions. Some scholars have tried to show that Christmas was actually the birthday of the Sun God. In order to win over the Christians, it was claimed to be Jesus' birthday.
