Fantastic historical video of how our calendar should be the year 12,000's - Page 3

*Original TMNT Cartoon Fan* · 12-08-2016, 05:32 PM

I've heard of it before, and think this calendar should be introduced. Not for bashing Christianity (Christian calculation of years is still within the Holocene calendar), but for giving a wider international view on world history.

Doubt it, since Cubed can't even control his big fat mouth. Look at his post count, geez!

Diverting the question, THAT SOUNDS LIKE SOMETHING A WORLD-CONTROLLING JEWTILLIAN WOULD DO!

Cubed part Jewish? Who knew?! I visited a Synagogue once, for the funeral service of the brother of a friend of mine. Probably the only time in my life I ever actually paid full attention to the sermon. Which is funny since I couldn't understand half of it.

I thought we had a synagogue in our city, since a building close to the art school I used to attend had a David star on it, but apparently not.

We have a mosque somewhere, but I think it's just a rented regular building since this city is Bible Belt Extremis, and for other faiths to make funds to build their own temple is pretty difficult and a long term goal, and people like to put pig's head painted red at the front step of the make-shift mosque, so there's that.

I've just been in Christian churches, the pretties one was a Stave Church made by the early-Christian Norse, so lots of beautiful wood carvings. I've also been in the Matthias church in Budapest, was very... Rich looking

My partner had to cover her shoulders to enter, was hilarious.

You shoulder-baring pagan.

Yeah, I've heard that Catholics can be prudes, but seeing it live in the middle of the summer, temperatures so warm I nearly had a heat stroke... Was interesting.

*CyberCubed* · 12-09-2016, 12:53 PM

I'm not a fan of religion, neither were my parents. We celebrate the general holidays, but other than that don't do anything major. Its more of a, "get the family together and eat lots of food" during the holidays too rather than any celebration of religion.

*Prowler* · 12-09-2016, 11:56 PM

You know who I find creepy? Mormons. Sometimes I see them. They're usually American or Brazilian. DO they always dress in those weird t-shirts? And the way they smile at you and speak to you in a funny accent... no one cares about them though

Also, do you guys have Jeovah Witnesses? They're usually old people who knock on your door early in the morning asking "Do you wish to talk about God?". But haven't had that happen to me in years.

*CyberCubed* · 12-10-2016, 12:12 AM

The best thing about being a white male is nobody can guess your religion just by looking at you. I have no distinguishing features of any particular race, so nobody knows where I'm from or what religion I am. I speak like a New Yorker but that's where I live.

I like being ambiguous in the outside world. I can't be racial profiled. Its great that nobody knows who or what you are.

I have a soft spot for both of them, they are genuinely some of the nicest people I've met and one of my closest friends was Mormon.

I never got why some people ever got annoyed by them, even if they want to evangelize, you can't help but admire their attitude and passion.

Pretty sure most White people are either Christian or Jewish. If they have a religion, that is. So I dunno where you getting at lol

Jeovahs are polite, yes. I'll give you that. Apparently that didn't get them on Hitler's good side, though.

My grandmother's sister who lives in USA is a Mormon, she's a.... interesting individual, the whole side of that part of the family is... interesting.

We have plenty of them, and they make their rounds where I live. My partner had them over for chatting and debating for a while since she's out of a job and was bored, but eventually she asked them to don't come over anymore as they where pretty one track minded.

Personally I'm not a fan of Jehovah Witnesses, I find their in-cult practice questionable as they protect pedophiles from the authorities. It was a pretty big reveal about it a couple of years back, how extensive it was and how they dealt with it internally within the group instead of reporting it to the police.

I'm a typical religion-hating grump, but I love Mormons. There's a couple of turds, but they're generally really nice, educated, and understanding of those from different walks of life.

Now I feel a bit bad. But I dunno, they seem to be constantly smiling. As if they're always in a good mood. Then again, I'm a sad soul, so I guess I assume everyone who seems to be constantly in a good mood is either high or drunk.

*CyberCubed* · 12-10-2016, 01:02 PM

Overly religious people of any kind can be annoying. I just can't imagine living my life by a set rules of religion decided by people thousands of years ago.

*plastroncafe* · 12-10-2016, 01:37 PM

And now we've come full circle back to the Gregorian Calendar.

Well played everyone.
Good job.

*CyberCubed* · 12-10-2016, 06:49 PM

I actually prefer ancient history over modern stuff from like 1500+ to now. Its hard to believe there's like 150,000 years of human history BC that people just condense into "cave men times" and just leave it at that.

I mean that's literally 150,000 years. Insane that our history isn't thought of much BC aside from a few years. Who invented the wheel? Who invented the use of fire? Who was the first human to bring down a wooly mammoth?

We will never know their names in the history books.
