An Atheist Calender ?
OP - December 08, 2008, 07:53 PM

What with it being the year end and all I wondered what you might think about a calender for Atheists.
All the major religions have their own, based upon whatever events of importance prevailed at the time of their inception.
So, in an Atheist's calender, when would Year One have been and what year would it be after the shortest day in December this year?

Well I have had too much to drink to completely decipher whatever it was you wanted me to say, but from the gist of the message I get that you want to know when my atheist calendar would start from from.

Basically it would start from december 05.

I would say that would be a funny suggestion. But I'm not sure what should be the startingpoint. One could argue for a date that has something to do with the scientific revolution.

And by the way one could consider it to be a "freethinker"-calendar, so it would include basicly all irreligious.

Obviously it would start from the year I was born

I don't see what the point is. A calendar implies organization, organized atheist league? nope. Maybe political calendars- ie: the 232nd year since independence of the US; 232 Anno Libr... (However you say freedom in Latin). *shrug*

I chose to get circumcised at 17, don't tell me I never believed.

I think you need a calender for the terminally time-warped (bit of a connundrum there!). Why Dec 5th?
Good to get some practice in for the big night out though.
I suppose I'm asking, from what point would you choose to measure time, in years. And, as a corollary, what year would it be now?
We can name the lunar months later.

That would make it the 'Iris calender'.

Organisation yes, but more importantly an all encompassing world view that is meaningful to it's adherents.
I can't remember what the genitive is -- liberalis perhaps?

But I'm guessing that Iris is a bit older than that. Can't you two do a deal and get back to me?
