oh, actually the above post also disassembles the second glaring error in your article
In Rome it was the festival called Saturnalia and later the Roman Empire baptized it and began to celebrate it as the birth of Jesus.As shown above - Saturnalia got over BEFORE December 25th
And, in addition it was celebrated into the Christian era and before Christmas day, so no way was Christmas day a "replacement"

I hear you but it doesn’t detract from the significance of September 11th.
Have you heard of the “lost centuries” theory, by the way?
It’s pretty fascinating because, at the very least, it underscores how screwed up our idea of history really is, (the exemption being, of course, the Bible.)
