BS...how old are YOU?

From you and others here, I would say it is all about your religious beliefs.

“This dating system was devised in 525 by Dionysius Exiguus of Scythia Minor, but was not widely used until after 800.”

Who was running (controlling) the world then? The Roman Catholic Church.

Again, it is about Religious beliefs.

You’re trolling the wrong website, pal.

What is “the Common Era?”

[Freee-dame]

Remember: CE = Christian Era. Don’t let them win.

This is how I read it also. Even if the Christian-hating left changed the letters to BE or SE, we would still know tht the event that marks the change from before to after is the birth of Our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ.

What is “the Common Era?”

The Common Era begins with year 1 in the Gregorian calendar.

Tell us more about the Roman Catholic Church.

[SoCal Pubbie]

Why was that year picked, and how is that common?

[Political Junkie Too]

is that a DirectTV dish ?

All they wanted was to watch the races at the Circus Maximus and the Senate Channel, but were forced to subsidize the bundled Coliseum, too.
