Even though most of us are not Christians does it bother you saying the year is 2017?

So we should all use different calendars that will make it harder if you want to do something as easy as travel between countries just because you feel like a special snowflake?

I'm not, Jiggy posted in the topic header "universally...as a species". China and North Korea don't use the Christian calendar even though they're a part of our species, nimrod.

No more than it does having days of the week named after Norse gods, or months of the year named after Roman gods.

They still use the gregorian calendar, much like japan freely uses arabic numbers.

Everybody succumbs to convenience eventually and Christianity has caused so much crap to the entire world, everybody can share in the historical significance of the event.

I was actually thinking about this a little today.

I think BC and AD look cool somehow. And I love plays on those in fiction, like UC, FC, and AC in Gundam...


But don't the full versions have terms from Christianity? I remember thinking it was Before Christ and After Death (which makes no sense...) But maybe it's Anno Domini?


I remember hearing BCE and CE before. That's Before Common Era and Common Era. Which makes more sense I guess but they are too similar.

Yes, it is anno Domini which means "in the year of the Lord".
The early calendars went from 1 BC to 1 AD, skipping year 0.
