So the readers won't have to wait any longer on my point, it is my contention that all events and occurrences happen according to a perfect timing by the providence of Almighty God. In other words, from an eternal point of view, there are no 'accidents'.
Cool. I don't though... now what?
I would like to point out that those are some nice pictures, thanks for that. Other than that, I don't know what you want to discuss. Seems like a position you hold based on incredulity. Not much we can say to that.
A lunar eclipse on April 3, A.D. 33, the day Jesus Christ died on the cross. Perfect timing by the God who ordained it all.
Yeah, I'm sure Jesus appreciated the sentiment. A glass of water may have been better, maybe some sunglasses, perhaps sun-block...I don't know. I didn't get that far into that mythology book. How does it end?
Btw, we're in the Free-For-All thread, no mods, so lets have fun.

The monumental importance of the event completely went over your head.
No it didn't. I'm an atheist, so yea, to me that story doesn't mean much. But you are making yourself look like an ass pointing to an eclipse as something impressive, and you're making a mockery of that story (to those who it actually means something to) by reducing it to mythological insignificance.
That's why people are clowning on you, but you're too self-absorbed in your ignorance to realize it.
No one will get a serious reply who doesn't treat a serious subject seriously.
Seriously?

Re: Serious subjects
You have no idea what Almighty God can do.
If he made you, then I'm not impressed.

Re: Serious subjects
Modern man who does not want to retain God in their knowledge has decided Christ did not die, so AD means nothing.
Many modern men have never heard of Christ, let alone wiegh in on whether the Christian's brand of mythology is true or not.
Many have never seen a calander. Many use a different dating method. Many have never used our dating methods.
You speak like a true self-centered Christian, and American, who feels that ONLY his religion exists, his concept of god exists, and his methods of dating exist. And that anyone who doesn't accept it (for whatever reason) is going against their god.
The religious people who don't want to retain God in their mind can use this to mean Christian Era.
What about the Buddhist? Think of the poor Buddhists!!!
