1. The year, 2013 AD otherwise known by posh oldguys as 2013 in the year of our lord (AD latin for dat)
2. The week. I may be wrong (doubt it ) but it is is based on the days of creation, + rest.
3. Christmas, that should be known.
4. Easter, that also should be known.
Why not 204 DY(darwin years), with weeks as days of evolution and we celebrate when apes mutate every 100 million years? -
Christianity existed before Darwin. And Christmas isn't even that centered around Christ anymore, it's become more a of a Hallmark holiday
-
You sound retarded.

I don't get anything you said so what Tongue said
-
AD is pretty much old fashioned you know. CE's more commonly used.

We judge our dates off of the Gregorian calender; created by Pope Gregory. Being a pope, he based it off of the most important thing in history to him. The birth of Christ. While this unit of BC/AD is still in affect, AD has since been replaced with CE or common era.
-
Christmas was moved to coincide with a pagan holiday, the Christmas tree is also a pagan symbol, so I don't think of it as a very Christianic holiday.

UnLoving NewbieIf you don't get what he's saying, you're the retarded one ._. Just saying
No one answered to the week thing or Easter ._.
And yes true but Christmas was originally the celebration of Christ's birth -
I'm 90% sure that Jesus' birthday was actually in April, which is why they have Easter. They moved the celebration so more pagans would convert.
-
I think that Christmas is a celebration of Christ's death!
I do not celebrate Christmas....
You see the word Christmas can separate into two words
Christ - Mass
Mass means death....
SO
Christmas is actually Christ'sdeath -
I'm atheist and celebrate Christmas : P

1. CE is used now, dude
2. The week is from the Bible, yes. That is less of a Christian thing, though. It's more Hebrew.
3. Christmas is the celebration of Christ's birth. His birthday is actually in March, but it was moved to December 25th because that is the celebration of the pagan sun god. (Christmas is derived from the two words Christ and Mass. Christ, being Jesus, and Mass, being the celebration of the Paschal Mystery. It is called Christmas because on this day there is a special celebration to celebrate the birth of Christ.)
4. Easter was originally meant to celebrate spring by the Saxons. It was meant to honor the goddess of spring, Eostre. Again, Christians created Easter to try and override pagan holidays and attract people to the Christian religion. -
Rascal Rulez!
No, for real, she just pwned yo asses. -
But it is still based the same as AD, simply with a name chqnge because of a little tantrum.
How does that change anything?
I'm pretyy sure everyone knows that, still doesn't change the original meaning.
Never heard that one, perhaps some links or something for validity?
