are you sure?
Jesus Christ was alleged born in Bethlehen, a small town in what is now the West Bank although his Parents were Nazarenes and they returned to Nazareth shortly after King Herods death after fleeing to Egypt due to Herods proclamation to kill all first born Sons, hence the title Jesus of Nazareth.
Anno Domini is medieval Latin for In the Year of Our Lord (Jesus), the exact dating is complex as it encompasses both the Julian and Gregorian calenders and has been messed about with, but it basically dates our calender from his birth, not death. B.C simply means Before Christ s in his birth, although most historians now use B.C.E meaning Before the Common Era.
As for his death, after his arrest in Gethsemene shortly after The Last Supper, he was forced to stand trial before the Sanhedrin who turn him over to the Roman Prefect of Judea, Pontius Pilate and the Client Ruler of Galilee, Herod Antipas for execution.
As the story goes, Pilate was reluctant to execute Jesus because of his popularity amongst is followers, so he offered the gathered Mob a chance to free him, but incited by the Pharisees they choose the murderer Barabbas instead. Hence the claim of Jewish responsibility.
After being flogged, mocked and crowned with thorns he was marched to Golgotha, stripped naked and nailed to the cross and crucified. According to the Mark's Gospel, he survived for 9 hours before being stabbed by a Roman soldier in the side to confirm his death. The Roman's name is never mentioned but accounts, (mainly the Gospel of Nicodemus) outside the biblical Gospels name him Longinus who after the crucifixion converted to christianity and is now venerated as a saint.
Christ's body was removed from the cross by Joseph of Arimathea and with the help of a Pharisee called Nicodemus buries him on the spot where the Church of the Holy Sepulchre now stands.
AD is from the birth of Jesus, not his death
The Romans nailed Jesus to the cross, after being called to do so by the Jewish people.
Jesus was a Jew, those who follow Jesus Christ are called Christians.
There is historical evidence that a man named Jesus lived, that cannot be questioned. You choose to accept his divinity or not.

Cant you just talk about the universe or the source of all creation while high rather some semi fictional character?

Some of the replies on this thread make me feel better about a thread I might make later in which I insult things highly personal to some.
Hope the mods don't see anything wrong with it.
Seriously though, there is one thing discussing and poking fun, and another just taking the absolute urine.

Wiki said:
AD is not from when he died. It is simply the year after his birth, onwards.
Edit:Been monumentally slow here I see.
History that has been covered above, but the romans put him to death.

Try to remember this is GD & it's a light hearted look at subjects.
If you want stricter admin control & a serious discussion just post in SC.
The number of people in this thread who are clearly uneducated is shocking. Jesus was not fictional. Whether or not he was the Son of God (God as man) is your own personal opinion.
The fact that a man called Jesus existed is indeed, Fact.

Either Jesus was the real genius and truly inspirational one in a trillion kinda guy the Bible says he is. Or the real deeds of his life were... altered in the Bible to be something not entirely reflective of the truth. I'm not just talking about the miracles either.
Still though, he was the dude
Gazza should be our new jesus! He's good m8's with the pope too! He can be our role model for the next 2000 years!

He is mentioned in the Acts of Pilate and the Gospel of Nicodemus, but the authenticity of this is highly controversial due to it's anti-semitic references in regard to who was responsible for the death of Jesus.
