Why does it need fixing?

"BC" and "AD" have been used for the past two millennia. Should we embrace "political correctness" by replacing them with "BCE" and "CE," favored by Communists, atheists, and Christophobes? I should think not.

Only two millenia? The Hebrew dating system is much older than that. And since the story is about a synagogue in Israel maybe they should have dated the structure between 4259 and 4395.

Actually, all dating should be from July 10, 1940 and known as BWB and AWB.

I modestly leave it to you to figure out the reason for dating everything from this miraculous event.
