: : May Pazuzu fuck your rose garden.
: : A thousand years ago was the 1800's-1900's.
: - Wrong. 1000 years ago was 1003 AD (or CE, Common Era).
Damn, you're right. My mistake.
: The fact that the situations discussed in the Bible surrounding Satan happened between B.C. and A.D. (Anno Domini "in the year of our lord") makes it 3003 years ago.
: Just what the hell do you mean "happened between B.C. and A.D."? Between? Like there was some sort of period between BC and AD?
Between was not stated to signify the time in between the two. Anyone with half of a brain would realize that it meant the years in B.C. and the FIRST years in A.D.
: If you must know,
Which I already do, but thank you for wasting your time.
: And since the Bible is a fiction-based book (or embellished, I should say, to lessen the shit in the Christian's diapers) the calender and events vary so much, that it looks like it was put into a blender and let the scenes fall where they may.
: -Yeah, because there is so little truth in the Bible, that it is that difficult to ascertain the approximate dates of events. You know, because, historically speaking, there can't possibly be any correlation to what the Bible says happened, and what historical records show. Because that would totally turn your argument upside down.
There isn't. Prove one, because nobody else can.
: And since the part in Dogma about the million years is so hot for you, remember, he was talking about the results of the "War for the Throne", which most likely happened several, SEV-ER-AL years before any recorded date.
: -I don't think I can argue with this. Dating would certainly seem to be important only to mankind, so why would there have been a calendar during this war?
: : Since Dogma supposedly rights misconceptions about the Bible, take the fucking demon's word for it, alright? Sound good? Ok, then.
: -OK.
: : Now, it is not 2003 A.D. It's 2003 C.E.
: -Changing the letters does not mean anything- besides, it's generally only those who need to date things, like anthropologists, historians, paleontologists and the like (scholars), who use CE and BCE. AD still retains it's significance.
AD has christian overtones. Obviously. Significance lies in personal religious preference.
