You said "you people" when referring to people who use BCE instead of BC/AD. As if atheists destroyed the Gregorian calendar with their secular terminology. HILARIOUS! Then you failed to defend your position. Understandable, but fail, nonetheless.
You people referred to all of those who resented the denotation of marking the 'common era' with a reference to God. Then i went so far to say that this denotation did not change the year or the calender in anyway. I also pointed out that unless you were watching filmed something pre 2000(Which would most definatly include anything with a post production date of 2000 on it, because these things take months if not years to put together) the BC/AD references could be indicating that your show was produced by Christian company, because they are the only ones who still uses these terms.
So in that please explain how it is 'I fail' to defend my position. In detail and not simply appeal to a catch phrase in hopes that i will yeild to the shame and embarrassment you think that term assigns. I want to see the same due dillegence that i have afforded you to this point, not an attempt to fold while you think you are ahead.

LOL Fail.Why do you assume that I did not know? could be i was making sure that Min or you were fully invested in a want for a deeper conversation before i started breaking out the lexicons and reference materials? after all what is the point if your just cutting and pasteing someone elses work? unless you are semi invested in the conversation (even if you simply think it is an oppertunity to make me look foolish because i didn't even know what verse you were referencing

Quote:But you said "We know". Therefore, you fail.Again explain. How does 'we know' equate to fail? Do you simply not understand basic composition? allow me to explain a 3rd time. When one says 'we know' and gives a bracketed time line it mean we think this event happened between the two time periods mentioned. this also means that we donot have a specific day month or year. Otherwise we would not need a bracket of time that includes several years.
