Re-read what I said, and look out for the word OFFICIAL.
Was the Queen of England born on her official birthday?
Pedantic or what
Not at all, just correcting a misconception.
A September birth is the most probable, however the official celebration is 25th Dec.
It may be unpopular in these mainly secular times, but 2021AD looks back that many years to the birth of Christ.
I'm sure you know this but AD stands for the Latin phrase anno domini, which means in the year of our Lord. And every newspaper, webpage etc etc since the day we were born has this silent reminder on each page.
CE and BCE becoming more commonly used.

Who knows, but in a few generations that might be what we read on the top of our (digital) newspapers. Makes sense.
I think the current generation would mainly favour this and I've met people on courses at University that have tried to use this for the last 20-30 years. However to be consistent you need to scrub Christmas and Easter. Secular life is often strangely constantly using the name of Jesus disrespectfully, then stupidly marking His official birthday by vomiting everywhere after attending a Christmas party.
Talk about irony meeting ignorance
Often constantly? That's what I sometimes always say. I don't think many in secular vomiting land would miss Easter if it was changed to another bank holiday and Christmas could just revert to the pagan festival it was.I think the current generation would mainly favour this and I've met people on courses at University that have tried to use this for the last 20-30 years.

Wrong! Most religious scholars place the birth of Jesus at "somewhere between 6BC and 4BC" based on the HISTORICAL event that was the census that Joe and Mary supposedly travelled for.
Just like the OFFICIAL birthday issue you completely miss the point!
Deliberately of course, just to deflect from the continued silence re scientific proof of the 'Big Bang'
No, I was replying to your assertation that 2021AD means that Jesus was born 2021 years ago.Just like the OFFICIAL birthday issue you completely miss the point!

They walked really slowly
Which I didn't disagree with. It's simply the official time of when He left Heaven and arrived at Bethlehem.
Nonetheless, the Latin phrase anno domini, which means in the year of our Lord stands as the official time and just like the arrival of Klopp to Liverpool, their fans care more about the fact it happened rather than the actual day it occured.
For someone so demanding of proof and immediately dismissing (or straight up ignoring) anything given to you, it’s weird that in this thread your own proof consists of:
A book
The shape a cluster of stars make
The drawing of a thing looking like a cross but not the actual thing that doesn’t look like a cross
People using a standardised calendar
The Queen having 2 birthdays
Klopp going to Liverpool
I don't know why Klopp was brought into it because, as every Liverpool fan knows, Robbie Fowler is God and even had a second coming for a season before joining us.
I only starting demanding proof when one of your 'team' started yelling that the big bang was a certainty.
The fact is this, science can be brilliant at times when it wisely stays in it's comfort zone of verifying it's findings, as was Diana Ross when she was singing, but just like Diana when she tried to take a PENALTY - they normally fail big time when they overstretch themselves and start telling us what might have happened
One of our "team" probably got excited or riled during an argument and said something to hit home a point; it happens. We all know the big bang is a theory - how can it be anything else? - and there are even plenty of theists who would accept it as a plausible explanation. Of course, you're leaving yourself wide open with accusations of science "overstretching" so perhaps you're just looking for a bite.I only starting demanding proof when one of your 'team' started yelling that the big bang was a certainty.

So what did you get her in the end?
Worrying that this is probably the longest thread on the board this season.
Garden Centre voucher. Good idea imo.
I don’t believe in garden centres
HOPE SHE BUYS A BURNING BUSH
Hopefully she doesn't read this board or the surprise will be lost
Great idea. Mums bloody love garden centres. Is it valid in the cafe? If so, it's a winner.
Really? When Christmas takes up a quarter of our lives according to the shelves of Tesco & Asda
