The annual dates of Easter, like Ramadan, are based on lunar cycles, hence their variability in the modern (i.e. Gregorian) calendar. It has nothing to do with accuracy per se. Of course, no one knows exactly when Jesus was born and when he died to start with, so the source dates of Easter, and by extension, Easter itself, are really just rough estimates. And then there is the small matter of Christian denominations using different methods to work out when Easter falls. Looked at that way, there is bound to be some divergence between true Easter and the annual dates, yes.

That said, Christianity predates Islam by over half a millenium; inherent differences in the accuracy of key religious dates should come as no suprise.

Precisely what?
That one faith predates the other hell no? Have you guys ever had a thought of all this with a sober mind? Lets take faith as being in the heart and not by comparison, the scriptures are nothing but a bunch of literature, reference doesn't make me any wiser am my own master except for my belief and knowledge.

This is comparing like with unlike this is where i honestly miss Abre.

Bingiza, be careful of what you are insinuating. Trying to make yourself Abres replica wont take you anywhere. The dude was a nutcase, he is probably in a psychiatric hospa.

Abu am not trying to be anybody's replica sometimes i wonder what made that guy think the way he thought, after all at xool he wasnt a lunatic as he displayed himself here, but its a fact he had his own innuendos which i did not like, to a certain extent i could get a thing out of what he was saying bcoz i sometimes think like that, but i have my own limits and our goals are completely different. I think ur worry is on me calling the scriptures a bunch of literature (not so), i take it as such bcoz i use it for guidance and reference not for divine intervention as most pipo do, i dont think i have to go into details i dont really like pushing my belief down somebody's throat thats not my style.
