When wasn't he born, our little friend from the past?
You mean at the Christmas Eve, the very first one?
Soooo, when was he born?

I've got a better idea. Our cultures are so diverse... we should just have a Holiday button for timed out games.
When you get timed out, you just claim it's a holiday and it's against your religion to move that day... and the game is put back. This should be year-round feature.

Not even at his own birthday the 25th of december?
Jeeez...
Then I'm not even sure that he died at his day of death either?
Especially that easter is of different day every year.
Couldn't anyone bring order to this mess?
I bet that Jesus wasn't even Christian, himself...

I hate to p;ss on your strawberries, but... there are some facts (Herod's census, Roman military records, Registry of Birth, Marriages and Deaths, etc.) that show he was born on 18th August in a year which is now accepted to be 6BC. And the reason why Easter changes every year is because it's based on the Spring Equinox and the full moon following it, not when Jesus Christ died.
Don't believe me? OK, do this simple check:
Choose a year. Find out the exact time (YES!!!) and date of the Spring Equinox. Then look for the date of the next full moon. The Sunday after that will be Easter Sunday in that year.
Then check out the Hebrew calendar, and you'll see that it isn't the same as the Gregorian calendar that most countries use today. If we used the Hebrew calendar, Christmas would fall about 3 weeks earlier every year.

Originally posted by FabianFnasI'd heard it was March, but no matter. Fabian, dear, concentrate a second. December did not exist in Jesus' time. There was no month named December on anyone's calendar. Additionally, had he been born in winter, there would've been no shephards guarding their flocks by night, etc. Too cold. He also didn't have a birth certificate from a hospital. WHEN he was born is really immaterial. The decision to include a celebration of his birthday required that a date be chosen for the celebration. Since the pagans were already in a festive mood this time of year, the celebration was slid into this time period.

Dear friends, c99ux and reader1107, I know this.
I should include some well choosen MrSmiley to emphasize that my postings in this matter is ment to be humorous.
This facts about Jesuses exact day of birth and death is perhaps nothing to be joked about but I couldn't resist.
And I know that Jessus didn't play chess either, not even at Christmas.
Sorry if I upset somone but --- still friends?

He's still awaiting a card, too!
How's your wife doing?
