If you lived at that time it was the best day to pick, as it was
really three days and the people were drunk that did wor****p Mithra
and so no one cared what Christians were doing as they were to far
gone. Remember followers of Jesus were no permited to wor****p and
this would be the best time to do that. Then just because some other
god or thing was done by some other group does not mean they are doing
the same. I can go to church at the same time a group are in a bar
getting drunk, everyone knows church and bar have nothing to do with
each othere. It really does not matter what month Jesus was born,
what does matter is he was born. One day is just as good as any
othere.

No it does not! You will not find in any true Christian church or
history any word of wor****p of Mithra's as their God.

I can agree with some of that, only Paul did say even in his day that
false teachers were already preaching falsehoods.
