: ...when the entire caldendar system in question is based on a completely artificial date that may or may not have even occurred? it was ludicrous to think that the year 2000 really MEANT anything beyond the man-made computer bug. it had no significance to anyone other than a bunch of Christian-based society people.
based on an event that may have not occured? are you suggesting that jesus was never born?
because most religions do not dispute the birth of jesus and how this coincides with the calendar we now use. The only thing that there is debate over is whether or not jesus was the son of god. I believe he was, others believe he was not.
and the millenuim bug as not made in any sense, it was a hoax by IT superviosrs so they could get paid 100 quid an hour to be on standby if something went wrong.
