Every time we date a check, we admit the existence of Christ.

So by you logic, every time we look at the clock we admit the existence of the Babylonian pantheon. The base-60 measurement of time originated with the Babylonians, and their mathematics and astronomy were a direct product of their religion.
I never dated a Czech, but I had a short fling with a Hungarian student, does that count?
@Da Rat Bastid:
Great minds think alike.
(Or as we say in Germany: Zwei Dumme, ein Gedanke!)
Every time it's Thursday you admit the existence of Thor
Every time it's June you admit the existence of Juno
And in July you're admitting the sovereignty of Julius Caeser
You haven't thought this through have you
Today is Thursday. I guess the Aesir gods exist too, then.
It's also June, which must mean that the Roman goddess Juno exists as well.
Besides, there's no Year Zero.
What's your doctorate in, Curtie?
Now, would I be acknowledging Yeshuah if I took that check to the movies, a romantic dinner or a picnic at the park?
Who's this Huston guy? Does Sandusky 2.0 have others on for the ride or is he sockpuppeting, now?
I was going to add a bit about the different myths & cultures involved in the days of week/ hours/different calenders/etc. but almost everybody beat me to it.

I'm afraid I've never dated anyone from Prague.

Thank you, I'm here all week. Try the Budweiser Budvar. And as Lager was invented in the Czech Republic...! X3
Yeah, Thor and all that. Everyone had the same idea.
Personally, I consider it to be the year 239, since I begin numbering from 1776, when Watt created his steam engine. I find that to be a much more important event, with a greater impact on changing the world.
Every time we mention the days of the week, we admit the existence of the Norse Gods.
Every time we mention the planets, we admit the existence of the Roman Gods.
See how ridiculous this is?
Every time you use the English alphabet you are admitting the existence of Roman and Anglo-Saxon gods, since magical power has always been attributed to scripts.
@Kuribo - Pretty sure Julius Caesar was deified by the Roman Senate.
And every time you watch a sunrise or sunset you admit the existence of her Highness, Princess Celestia.
I won't bother going into the names of the days; his head would explode.
... wait. Why am I not going into the names of the days, again?
Every time we date a check, we admit the existence of Christ.
By the same argument, every time you date a check, you admit the supremacy of the Roman Catholic Church, which adjusted the calendar under Pope Gregory XIII to keep Easter near the (northern) Spring equinox. How does that gall your fundamentalist Baptist butt, Dr. H?
And everytime we arrange our schedules by day AMD month, we're admitting the existence of the Roman Gods. Wait, following your logic, everytime we write down numbers we're either honouring the Quran or worshipping the Hindi Gods
@SpukiKitty et al.: Dr. Hutson's been dead for some time--1934-1995 is listed as his lifespan. But yes, he's a fundamentalist, and quite influenced by Jack Hyles--the same person who Stewart received his theology from. Seems Hutson even once was editor for "The Sword of the Lord".

@SpukiKitty
And who better to present Pinkie doing a badum-tish than you ?! <3 :3
...ye god(esse)s, this 'Predictions' thingy is spreading; first Tempus, then Distind & the Tropesters?! Spooky...
..Kitty. X3
...oh, and whilst on the main subject:
@Old Viking
"In Czechoslovakia a dead citizen is referred to as a canceled Czech."

Almost as terrible & groan-inducing as in an edition of "QI" - and the subject was about 'Dog Bombs' in WWII (by the Soviets, against German tanks), which never cane to pass operationally, fortunately!) - US comedian Rich Hall suddenly interjected with just one word:
'Terrier ist. '
Even Doug Piranha would've pulled his own head off at that one. XP X3
Confused?
So were we! You can find all of this, and more, on Fundies Say the Darndest Things!
