Look at what you just said. You belive He was killed 30 AD? Ok, look at this, the BC means before Christ and the AD means after death. So, apparently there had to be a Christ who died for us.

And there's a planet called Saturn, so apparently the Roman God of time and agriculture also exists.
Newsflash dickhead. Dates in that era in the Roman Empire were measured in the reign of the current Emporer and months revolved round the 29½ day lunar cycle. Gregorian monks made the Gregorian calendar over 1,000 years later.
History fail.
OK, I'm seriously tipsy, but I still see the reason of Before Christ and Anno Domini. But, maybe that's only because I've studied Latin for three years and English for - wait for it - 12 years. Have you?
Yeah, Jesusites, explain the 30 year discepency.Why, It's almost like someone made up that shit without thinking it through
I think we should date everything around Muhammad and see how fast they start screaming about freedom FROM religion.
Oh, wait, I guess BM wouldn't work. LOL.
'Anno Domini' is "In the year of our lord".
And you wanna know a sad story? My 9th grade teacher* once said it was "after death". When I pointed out the real meaning of the abbreviation, he said "Ah, the Latin translation".
*I graduated in '10
AD means Anno Domini; In the Year of Our Lord, silly.
Jesus was born somewhere between 4 BC and 7 AD, and he was born in spring, not at Christmas. There is no year zero.
Oops, I have apparently posted before in this thread, but I was apparently too tipsy to count. I have studied English for 14 years, and I continue to study it on my own time since then, as I read almost exclusively in English. Right now it's The Fellowship of the Ring, for the second or third time.
“and the AD means after death.”
Humans do this. You don’t speak Latin, so if you ever knew what the AD stands for, your brain won’t return that information for a query. But you do assign SOME meaning.
The missile submarines have something similar to Defense Conditions, which is their SQ status. 4SQ for peace, 2SQ standing by for, 1SQ full war, missile launch. THey’re just call letters from a certain message format from WWII. But people swear they stand for ALL SORTS of things. A popular one is ‘Status Quo.’ But that’s stupid since you can’t have more than one status quo.
The BC and AD calendar was adopted about 500 years after Jesus is said to have walked the Earth. So, there didn’t HAVE to be a Christ who died for you. Just a pope who believed that to be true. But your brain doesn’t want there to be a vague appeal to myth at the heart of the calendar, so you insist this means Jesus was real.
It doesn’t, really.
Confused?
So were we! You can find all of this, and more, on Fundies Say the Darndest Things!
