And thursday is very strong evidence for the thundergod Thor, mars is very strong evidence for the wargod Mars and fourth of may very strong evidence for Darth Vader.
If we actually needed evidence to be a Christian though we wouldn't need our faith and that is something that a lot of atheists and agnostics don't understand.
Which came first though? the birth, or the celebration?A cultural celebration is not evidence of the birth of a deity.
Christmas, or as we say jul, is a far older holiday than christianity.Which came first though? the birth, or the celebration?

Some years ago, I came up with this list of evidence for Jesus Christ:I can't believe I'm saying this but I agree with @Paulos23 on this one.

You dont understand the meaning of ”evidence”.Some years ago, I came up with this list of evidence for Jesus Christ:
1. Time divided into BC and AD.
2. Organizations such as the Red Cross and Salvation Army.
3. Hospitals built by Christian organizations.
4. Beautiful Christian artwork, edifices, statuary and literature.
5. IN GOD WE TRUST on our coins and UNDER GOD in our pledge of allegiance.
6. The Ten Commandments and other literature displayed in public.
7. Christmas & Easter
8. Symbols on bumper stickers and flags.
9. Public debates in the name of Christianity.
10. Crosses and billboards erected to testify of Jesus Christ.

Non-Christians knew what it was really about long before the Christians hijacked the midwinter solstice festivalsSome people only celebrate the commercialism of it by the gift giving/Santa Claus etc. Of course we as Christians already know that that isn't what it's all about,.. but I was just explaining why unbelievers may celebrate it that's all.
Have you ever seen the Star Trek episode: Who Mourns for Adonis?Lord forgive me but I find this hilarious. XD

We understand the distinction between faith and evidence--that is why we appreciate epistemology. We understand you value faith--we however, do not for some very good reasons.If we actually needed evidence to be a Christian though we wouldn't need our faith and that is something that a lot of atheists and agnostics don't understand.
