No, I don’t know and I don’t care what date Jesus was born, irrelevant to me.

The question was “do I know” the answers was no, I don’t really need to know.
It was your statement, irrelevant to the topic that caused my reaction.
Yes the church has caused plenty of damage, made terrible mistakes, harmed and damaged even themselves.
Jesus teaches love and forgiveness

Except, and while I agree with what you have said in principle, it’s assumption
The Maggi were worshiping Jesus as the King of the world, they went with good intentions. Gentiles worshiping a Jewish Messiah, interesting
The “Star” is not reported as being sent by Satan, nor are the Maggi reported as such.
It’s possible the stars announced Christ’s birth. The Maggi were travelling to worship the King, unfortunately they came across Herod, Herod plotted to murder Jesus and it wasn’t all some big conspiracy, just a series of reported events
Who knows

Very possibly they went with good intent. Obviously they did not have evil in mind. But the star lead them to Jerusalem.
The star would not have been of divine origin. God condemned the practice of astrology. It was not of natural origin. A natural star in the sky does not lead you over a particular house across a vast distance somewhere. The logical deduction was that it was satanic in nature.

Very possibly they went with good intent. Obviously they did not have evil in mind. But the star lead them to Jerusalem. And did not move on until they reported to Herod why they had come. And it wasn't until Herod plotted to murder Jesus that the star then moved on and led them to the house Jesus lived in.
