      No no. Jesus was born on 0AD. This kid was born on 2AD. Jesus would have been 2 years old, so he hadn’t yet died.

      Whats more concerning, is this is being posted by one of the kids parents. Which means THEY were born sometime in BCE. Which means they were alive and old enough to have kids when Jesus was born.

      WHY ARE THEY NOT REVEALING THEIR TRICKS OF IMMORTALITY???

      And also, why are they threatening their kids life?

        I thought Jesus was born a few years after his official birth year though?

          About 34 years later, yeah. But it was also 40 days after his death. Making Jesus a zombie. Or, alternatively, it makes religion as a whole self admitted bullshit. Your call, christians.

            There are other options besides those two, like not having accurate historical records to know the actual date of birth and death, so that there are lots of conflicting accounts.

            I agree that religion in general is a crock used by charlatans to control people.
            But I suspect that this isn’t the gotcha you think it is, especially because I don’t think that the precise dates really matter to the religion.

        A small correction and „fun fact“: there is no year zero. 1 BC is followed by 1 AD. Consequently things like the turn of the millennium happen a year after we celebrate them. But people found that weird.

          Sounds like that just means 0 AD = 1 BC rather than there not being a 0 AD. Could have -1000 AD, too.

            that’s ISO. if you’re putting the AD, 0 is not valid. the BC is specifically there because -AD isn’t a thing.

          adrenochrome

          Several small-scale studies (involving 15 or fewer test subjects) conducted in the 1950s and 1960s reported that adrenochrome triggered psychotic reactions such as thought disorder and derealization

          Interesting. This is probably what makes people, who would normally not kill or do other horrible acts, to do so in conditions of extreme distress and then later have a feeling of it never have actually happened, making them still be able to live life with about the same personality as before.

        What’s the literal meaning of “his days are numbered”?

          There are multiple references to this in the Bible. This is the most uplifting one I found.

          Psalm 90

          10 Our days may come to seventy years, or eighty, if our strength endures; yet the best of them are but trouble and sorrow, for they quickly pass, and we fly away.

          11 If only we knew the power of your anger! Your wrath is as great as the fear that is your due.

          12 Teach us to number our days, that we may gain a heart of wisdom.

          13 Relent, LORD! How long will it be? Have compassion on your servants.

          14 Satisfy us in the morning with your unfailing love, that we may sing for joy and be glad all our days.

            You think a person who doesn’t speak English has read the Bible in English?

            What’s the literal meaning of the words?

          It means that you can place a specific number on the number of days left in a person’s life? I’m not sure I understand the question because the meaning of this one is pretty easy to see. Normally it is unclear when your death will be, but if someone tells you that your days are numbered they are implying that they possess the exact knowledge of what number of days you have left to live. They don’t usually mean that literally but the literal meaning is pretty clear.

            Or the number of days since their birth? That’s the simpler explanation.

            “Those apples are numbered” = “we know how many apples there are right now”

            If you don’t know the context, you could easily assume that’s the meaning.

              No, that does not make equal literal sense to what I said. Because days that are in the past are gone, we don’t have them anymore. We refer to moving through time as “killing” time or as “losing” time, in English we don’t tend to think of the past as something we currently have. The future is something we have or will have, the past is something we had and no longer have.

                Exactly! In English! Which this person does not know!

                What’s the meaning of “pulling your leg” vs the literal definition?

                  You seem to be getting pretty confused here. We’re talking about the literal meanings, that is to say the ones that someone who doesn’t have a strong grasp of English should know. Metaphors and idioms and so on are famously difficult for those without a strong grasp on the language, but I am arguing that this is not one of those. This is a phrase with a straightforward literal meaning, unlike such phrases as “pulling your leg.”
