Today could marks a special significance:
1. the birth of Christ
2. The founding of the LDS church
Now most people don't believe that it is April 6. But I found this website
sandi.dhbean.com/Filing?Cabinet/Files_N ... 0Birth.pdf
I'd like everyone to add on to this topic, as it is particularly fascinating. But remember that the date of the birth of Christ does not pertain to our eternal salvation...

I am very skeptical of those people that claim certainty and doubt most religious claims until I can check things out for myself. Even after my own research I am left with more questions than answers.

I see the year 0 is a poll option and somebody voted for it.
I hope that's a joke. You all do realize there is no year zero on the Gregorian calendar, don't you?

Re: Happy New Year! (I guess)
Anyone else interested in adding their vote to the poll? I'm interested in when people think Jesus was born.
