Read the fucking thread. I explained my position on this already. It's not the date I object to but the terminology.

I did read the thread, and while I accept your position, I nonetheless believe that they should have taken it further.

Living with JWs or Mormons is enough to make those of even the strongest faith a hard line atheist.

I don't object to using the approximate beginning of the Christian era of European history as the center, as Christianity is historically important. I'm just not going to call their deity a lord, when to me, he's not.

I agree that other dates and events might be better choices. Constantine's reign, the founding of the Roman Empire (which they themselves listed as what we call 753 BCE today), the fall of the Roman Empire or of Byzantium, etc.

Because of the lack of definite articles, anno domini can translate to "year of the lord" or "year of a lord", but not really "year of our lord."

Boy, you all make it sound like so much fun to be a girl.

I just think the emphasis placed on virginity in the minds of some is a bit silly. All else being equal, I think I'd rather be with a person who's had some experience.

True. I wouldn't even know these people, and I'd be expected to have sex with them? That just doesn't make any sense to me. And how did they get there? Did they die and also get 72 people to have sex with upon entering the afterlife? If so, why aren't they with their batch of random sex partners? If they didn't get any, that wouldn't really be fair, so they must have gotten some at some point. Is it a limited time sort of thing, where when you get there, you get a bunch of random sex partners, but after a while, you're conscripted into somebody else's batch? That doesn't sound like much fun, really. And I wouldn't want to be with someone just because they'd been appointed my random sex partner. Then that's kinda like a job or sex slavery. It doesn't seem like heaven should be a place where there's sex slavery, to me. I usually think of that as a bad thing.

Referring to him as a lord at all is not something I care to do. No matter what I say, though, you will continue to make asinine, ridiculously quibbling semantic posts. Therefore, typing much in response to your idiotic drivel is a waste of time that could be better used, oh, I don't know, on something more productive, like perhaps staring off into space.

Crimes committed by Muslims will be a pan-Islamic plot and proof of Islam's inherent evil. On the other hand crimes committed by non-Muslims will merely be the acts of loners who do not represent their belief system at all.
The probability of one's participation in homosexual acts is directly proportional to one's public disdain and disgust for homosexuals.
If a political figure makes an accusation of wrongdoing without evidence, odds are probable that the accuser or an associate thereof has in fact committed the very same act, possibly to a worse degree.

Agonosism. It's both imposible and scientific as well as arrogent to think we can "know" anything about God. Also, religion is just a way to control the masses, it's no better than the government. Plus, with us, you can sleep in on Sunday, deside to where and to whom your money goes, and, so long as you don't harm anyone else, you can never feel morally wrong about enjoying your life.
