Dionysus was risen three days after his death. 21st/22nd December the shortest day of the sun as winter Solstice. Plus three days. 24th-25th of December.

absolutely not, read what is known about it

No. The earliest celebrations at this time, if I'm not mistaken, coincided with the Nones of January, so they were occurring early in January. Something, something, calculation theory comes along and results in the date of the 25th. The details elude me right now, but suffice it to say, the earliest Christians were not celebrating Dec. 25 as the birth of Jesus Christ. This developed over centuries.

Not even close.

Obviously not.
The tradition was European and adopted by the church in the 4th century.

No. Jesus was born in late spring and was murdered by jews in the dead of winter.

I need more proof than just some guy saying "Dec 25" a bunch of times.

First, the finalized calendar we have wasn't actually formalized until 1752, right? Look up the missing 11 days in September, 1752.

If the calendar wasn't even static until after 1752, how does anyone know which day was which that anyone before that used?

Sure, someone could backtrack day by day to match everything up, but by what standard? Where do the missing 11 days figure in, as one example of a difficult matching?

Also, there were several calendar shifts from the year 1AD to today, and did every mention of Dec 25 really happen on Dec 25?

The missing or extra leap years of the early Roman calendar? How are those accounted for?

I need a lot more proof of every Dec 25th actually being Dec 25th before I start to even get into the basics of how to track an at-the-time unnoticed birth (Magi arrived a year or more later, as the passage says "young child" and not baby) marked only by celestial events.

There was no Jesus

exactly, he was born in religious people's mind.

conservative people question everything except their stupid religious beliefs.
