God help us all.
Enough of the public debate that will never end --- fun for mental exercise though.
But one last question and I'll stop since it is never ending it seems ...
Riddle me this ... IF it is, as you say, in deference to the Judeo non-believers that it is called Common Era --- than WHY did they change Anno Domini (AD) since it only translates to "Year of God" ?
The Jews have their own historical calendar also! Same with Indians, muslims, chinese etc. DO you see the communists demanding THEY drop their references, religion and history?
Only the Christina United States of America and other WESTERN Christina based countries are being FORCED to revise their histories.
Interesting.
Because Anno Domini doesn't mean the Year of God, it means "Year of our God" (go study your latin declensions), which, dating from the year one, indicates Jesus is "our God." Jesus is not my God.
The Jews have their own historical calendar also!
However lunar calendars are stupid, and it makes no sense practically to use a different dating convention from the rest of the world. If I were to refer to today as 26th Elul, 5765, few here would understand what I'm talking about.

I'm not trying to force you to do anything. What are you talking about? You want to use B.C., be my guest. You're trying to force me to say BC, and I won't.
God help us all.

Hilarious! Your sense of humor is amazing. I had you pegged as a Christian, and now you're making Christina jokes. Boy, you had me fooled.
Christina forever!
