Well no doubt, but it’s bad history to walk away from the history of the system that you do use.

Hence, the system of dating BCE and CE - to orient to the system without perpetuating the myth. The fact is, most people that get bent out of shape about this don't even know about the discrepancy - they simply knee-jerk to think it is a conspiracy or political correctness.

No doubt some use BCE and CE for political correctness, but there are many, many of us that use it because we are more interested in accurate history than we are in perpetuating Roman Catholic traditions.

There is no such thing as a neutral calendar. Winner takes all.

Do you teach who actually created the system you now use?
