    Not that I support these idiots but birthdays celebrate birth. There is a difference between conception and birth.

      I think until this year(?) South Koreans traditionally did something like this. You were born starting at 1 year old to count for your time kicking in gestation. There’s some groundwork for FL to follow.

      Really birthdays celebrate a change in age. We just call them birthdays because the 2 are the same thing.

      What the person below said. You don’t annually celebrate coming out of your moms vagina. You annually celebrate another year of your life and your age getting higher. If, like these idiots suggest they believe, life begins at conception, you would celebrate your age turning over three months after you were born. And maybe it’d have a different name, and you’d celebrate both the “birth day” and your “age day.” I remember hearing something about “name days” but I’m not sure what those are exactly.
