Comments?

I have one.

It's really a disgrace that we have these kinds of stuff in 21st century. It would be understandable if this was happening in madieval times. But today? Even a true christian would know this is nonsence. Once a child goes through ritual of baptizing, he\she is a child of god. So much for modern society *roles eyes*

Now don't tell me you belive in this stuff?

It looks like a joke...

It most certanly is.

You do realize this is a joke site of course?

That's funneh.

Oh noes...this child has to be sold since he was born on a day just like any other...oh noes...whatever shall we do?
Lol

What I thought was the thing that the world was gonna end on 6-6-06. Then why didnt it end in 6-6-1006?

ROFL .., my God, that was funny!! Hey, maybe dooms day will be 06.06 6000?

This is just like the Y2K thing.

Time is an illusion, m'kay? We rationalize time by putting our arbitrary calculations on it. We came up with the distinctive idea of seconds, minutes, hours, days, weeks, months, years.

Its human understanding that makes us live in the year 2006 A.D

Consider how long the planet has existed. Is it the year 2006? No.

And, anyway, even if we are to be so trapped in our illusion of our comprehension of time is "right" then the world would have ended on the 6th of June of the year 6.

Amen! I'll just have to put my "Time is an invention"- T-shirt to honor your speech.

No, really, you are totally right, the fact that we've created time but that it now holds a steady grip on our lives controling every action is scary. Sure, it's a useful tool, but that's what it is and that's how we should treat it, it's not like we are constrained and controled by a.. screwdriver..

Thanks

This topic reminds me of a sig I once saw...

"Time is an illusion.
Lunchtime doubly so."

*starts knocking on wood like a madman* uuuuh, okay... I won't say anything, then...

That's a good one ^^
I think it was from the Hitchhiker's guide to the Galaxy if I'm not wrong.

You are very much correct.

Yes, I wondered will you bite

I was dealing with this topic as the "6/6/6" premise as opposed to content on the website.

I am blocked out from most sites here.

Still... It has to be a really ugly day on 6/6/6.. and it is.. Rain and lightning, a beautiful way to scare the compassion out of some little kid.

Tell you the truth while i don't beleive anything will happen, as like you said, we made the thought of time, it still seems eerie..

We did not "create" Time = Time is the 4th dimension. We have "labeled" Time, and wrongly so, of course.

The year 2006 is all based on the Christ's birth, which has been shown to be unknown and that the early Church merely superimposed their own holidays over pagan ones to gain easier acceptance with them, so the whole June 6th, 3006 thing is relative.

But time has existed irregardless of us. Ameoba's turned to jellyfish to fish which crawled to land which turned to lizards into dinosaurs which became extinct but the small land mammals survived ... long before humans. Everything on this planet (in this universe?) ages, even rocks. So don't overburden yourself with guilt thinking that men created time, we merely noticed it going by and in our usual frantic control freak way, had to label it.

Time marches on - oblivious.

====================

And I think the 6/6/06 article may be reactionary to the new The Omen film - which I watched the trailer for, and what I liked about it was that Mia Farrow (Rosemary's Baby) is the child's nurse. Other than that, I see no need for this again. But each new generation must scare itself I guess.

By time we don't mean the presumable 4th dimension but the calculation of it. Time passes on, indeed, but we decided that one hour is 60 minutes, one week seven days, on month 30/31/28 days, etc..

So that's whay I mean by "inventing" time. Also since we invented it we should be able to follow it as we wish, not be enslaved by it.

Hmmm, yes I do suppose that we chose the time segments. But again, I think that we more like = observed that the sun rose and set and rose again within a certain time segment. And that the moon cycles through it's many stages over and over again. Once again I see early mankind "labeling" what he sees going on around him so his own little mind can grasp the huge wonder of it all.

Hours and minutes I will give to you as inventions. Seconds are of course, self actualizing.

If that was directed at me, then...



I didn't say we created time. Our perception of time is based on our understanding of life on this planet... We see a distinctive night and day as two seperate "entities" if you will...

Agreed... But if we were living outside the Milky Way, our view of time would be much different... If our planet had two suns, for instance... We view time as a way of relating events in terms of length as compared to, for instance the average human lifespan...

Hy! What do you mean by "will be"? I alredy am.
The only diffrance is that I just have to get off my lazy boat and get to work.
In any case 666 is the number of the beast, do I look like a beast to you?

*DoomsDay looks at his Kajiit tail and fuzzy paws*
You know what.... don't answer that.

Wrong.

The AD years are based on the year of Christs DEATH not BIRTH. The year is known, 34ad. Origionally it was thought to be 30ad but the monk who calulated it was off by four years. Or was it the other way around...

Anyway, these dates have been corroborated (big word bad spelling sowwy) through several ancient writings, Jewish, Roman and Greek among others...

And the early Church did not merely impose their holidays over pagan ones, but I know we are not supposed to discuss religion here lol, so just my 2c and hoping to avoid a flame war...

Oh ok, I didn't realize that. But of course, that's why A.D. is "after death." I didn't think it was actually known. But I guess if you know when Passover was that year and Jesus died the friday before Passover, then they do know, eh?

Ibis, A.D. is not "After Death" I'm sorry to say. It's "Anno Domini" and means "In the Year of the Lord" in Latin, wich comes from relating to the year of Jesus birth, also not his death. I'd like to know why you believe it's from his death CR2, even though it doesn't matter much since no-one can be quite sure when he was born or when he died since there are very few date notations in the texts that speak of him when he was alive.

See here for more info on Anno Domini.

Moderation notice: This is not TESF. As long as the discussion remains civil, you are in fact allowed to discuss both religion and politics, as long as the topic permits.

I do not believe this compassion a second, and I find it stupid superstitions, but I do not call peeps who actually believe that kind of thigs stupid...after all it is their decision so you go ahead and believe that stuff...but I do not believe in it. I have despised reliegion my entire life.

Hey, well I misspoke. It is taken from his death for the following reason:

Since the mistake was 4years, the CE(AD in old speak) yeardate for Jesus Birth would be 4bc, and not 0AD.

Therefore since his death can be accurately shown through texts of the era, I would say that the current dates come from His death not His birth.

If you want I can get into more detail, I am not really checking any sources for accuracy right now, just posting from memory...

As for a date notation of his life, there are Historical references that can be cross referenced in other ancient historical texts.

Also, the Bible notes in Luke 3:23 that Jesus started his ministry at 30 years of age. Work out his time of ministry you get about 3-4 years, work back from his death at 34 and you get at least his year of birth.

The book of daniel has a pretty accurate prophecy on the death of Jesus and the subsequent destruction of Jerusalem. It is accurate to the month and year.

But I'll relent with that...

Hmm.. Interesting stuff I have to say.

A.D is Anno Domini, and the year of birth (according to legend )

Anyway, I find it strange that the world over accepts that this is the year 2006, despite the diversity of world religions.

And I also think that the fear of 6-6-06 is both naive and ignorant.

Not the entire world accepts it's 2006, but yeah, most of it does.

I suppose it would be most confusing if all countries chose their own year-measuring, especially in a time like this when we constantly communicate and work cross-borders.

Hmmn, my friend's birthday was on 6/6/06.


Does that count?

Just keep an eye on them, Chaos.

Ha, I sure will.

He was trouble enough before there was a possibility of him being tainted by demonic evil

Of course - as I typed "Keep an eye on them, Chaos" ... I wasn't sure I was exactly setting the right person on the job. tee hee

Oh noes, he's been tainted from birth according to the Christian model

Edit: That was a joke, I don't actually believe that.
