How can I be ignorant when you Christians can't even decide on a proper day for the main date in your calendar, tch.

An Orthodox Christian in Australia? How did that happen anyway? I thought those loons were Greek/Russian and other old-world places like that, didn't know the Christian indecision had spread to our colonies.

You obviously don't live in Australia then? Most Europeans moved here during or following WW2 including large populations of Greeks and Russians, you are ignorant in the fact that you do not know that there are different dates or even the reasons for the dates. Such as if one parking area has a 30 minute time limit and another 45 minute, it is your pure ignorance if you fail to notice the difference and call the police stupid.

WTF is this religion shit?

I'm not going to change the dates for the convenience of it or anything like that," Mr Jankovic said. "It's part of my faith.

There you go.  Faith, as in religion, as in ORTHODOX CHRISTIAN.  Who are you calling ignorant?

No the question is who are you calling ignorant

"Some Orthodox churches have Christmas on January 7 because they follow the old Julian calendar. In the 16th century, Pope Gregory of Rome reformed the calendar, and so Western Christmas is on December 25.

The Jankovics cherish Orthodox Christmas because it links them to their culture and family."

Uzique are you replying with an enormous post sabotaging spray's attempts at shutting you up?

Or are you going to let this bible thumper run all over you and make you look like a northerner?

Exactly, so January 7th is pretty much Christmas for Orthodox Christians only.  The rest of the world celebrates it on the 25th.

And whats your point? This post was addressed at those celebrating Christmas today.

Russia's christmas present to Ukraine was just awesome.

Well if you were 600 million in debt to your gas company, you would do the same, in fact you would be long gone.

The dates are wrong anyways, he was born in the summer http://www.firmament.com/2000years/

Theres a website somewhere where it explains it all, the earlier Roman calendars skipped a few days and was in fact totally messed up until 8 AD when the leap years stopped over adding up. After Julius Caesar (I think) died it was mis interpereted and a leap year was added every 3 years instead of 4 so there have been a lot of revisions. Jesus was also born in 5 BC, go figures.

Fåk religion anyways.
